The Toronto Blue Jays announced Wednesday afternoon ahead of the night game against the Baltimore Orioles that Trevor Richards had reported to the team and would be available for the game. In a corresponding move to make room for Richards on the 26-man roster, Trent Thornton was optioned to Triple-A.
Richards was acquired on Tuesday afternoon, along with 25-year old pitching prospect Bowden Francis.
