Thornburg (elbow) signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with Atlanta on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Thornburg made seven relief appearances for the Reds in 2020 but underwent Tommy John surgery in September of that year and was sidelined for the entire 2021 campaign. The right-hander will now have a chance to carve out a middle-relief role with Atlanta during spring training in 2022.
