If Glenn Sparkman’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he used to pitch for the Toronto Blue Jays. However, the righty did not play many games for the team. Early in spring training 2017, the right-hander broke a bone in his right thumb during pitcher’s fielding practice.
As a result, the hurler began his first season as a Toronto Blue Jays pitcher on the disabled list. After being placed on the 10-day DL, and later moved to the 60-day DL, the 26-year-old was activated off the disabled list on June 29.
The former 20th round pick made his first appearance in the blue and white on June 30 against the Boston Red Sox.
