Zach Thornton Called Up for MLB Debut

The New York Mets are promoting left-hander Zach Thornton from Triple-A Syracuse to start Wednesday's game against Washington. Thornton's call-up follows the injury to Clay Holmes, and the team is looking to the highly regarded prospect to help address their current pitching depth challenges. Thornton is set to make his MLB debut as the organization adjusts its rotation following the recent roster vacancy.
