Jordan Romano's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano (elbow) won't return to the Blue Jays' roster this season. Though Romano has been throwing in Florida as part of his recovery over the last few weeks, he simply hasn't had enough time to fully recover. Combine that with the Blue Jays being nine games back of a playoff spot and rushing the 31-year-old back simply wouldn't have made sense. Romano had arthroscopic surgery in July to fix an impingement in his right elbow and hasn't pitched since late May. When Romano pitched this season he was not his normal self, posting a 6.59 ERA with 10 ER in just over 13 innings pitched. Blue Jays fans and fantasy managers alike will have to wait until 2025 to see Romano on the mound again. Those looking for relief pitching help may want to look at Chad Green who has six saves in the last 30 days, leading the Blue Jays with ease. However, take caution as Green also has a 7.45 ERA in that same timespan. Brendon Little and his 2.38 ERA over the last 30 days may be a safer option but with much less opportunity for saves.

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed reliever Jordan Romano (elbow) will not return this season. Romano has been throwing in Florida for over a week but just ran out of time to get back to the big leagues in 2024. He will continue progressing to mound work heading into the offseason. It shouldn't come as a surprise with Toronto not even close to playoff contention with the final several weeks of the season upon us. The 31-year-old Romano underwent arthroscopic right-elbow surgery two months ago and will now focus his attention on being a full-go for the start of spring training in the middle of February in 2025. For the rest of this season, veteran right-hander Chad Green will continue serving as Toronto's primary closer. It was a rough year for fantasy managers that had Romano rostered, as he saved only eight games in 15 appearances while posting a 6.59 ERA and 1.46 WHIP with 13 K's and four walks in 13 2/3 innings.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (elbow) returned to Toronto on Friday prior to the series opener against the visiting Oakland Athletics. He hasn't resumed throwing yet, but manager John Schneider said the club is mapping out a plan and that Romano is "progressing well" from a right elbow impingement. It's been five weeks since Romano underwent arthroscopic surgery on his elbow. Fantasy managers can expect to get him back potentially before the end of 2024, but given that the Jays are out of the playoff picture, it's still possible he won't return this season. The hard-throwing 31-year-old right-hander owns a shaky 6.59 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 13 2/3 innings, but he has converted eight of his nine save chances. Veteran righty Chad Green has taken over as Toronto's stopper and become a must-roster fantasy asset in Romano's stead, logging a 1.89 ERA, 18 strikeouts, and nine saves in 17 appearances since July 2.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (elbow) underwent arthroscopic surgery on Wednesday to fix an impingement in his right elbow, according to manager John Schneider. Romano won't pick up a baseball for at least six weeks, making a return this season uncertain. It's a tough break for any fantasy managers that drafted Romano this year and had been stashing him in an injured-list spot. Given the uncertainty around whether he'll actually pitch again in 2024, he'll most likely be dropped at this point. Yimi Garcia (elbow) is also on the IL and is looking to go on a minor-league rehab assignment soon. Until then, veteran right-hander Chad Green remains first in line for saves in Toronto. When Garcia returns, it's unclear exactly how Schneider will handle the team's save opportunities.

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Jordan Romano (elbow) has been shut down from throwing again, according to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet. Romano experienced more elbow discomfort when throwing on Friday and will now seek further medical evaluation. The Toronto closer has been on the 15-day injured list since June 1 with right elbow inflammation and has faced numerous setbacks in his recovery process. Before the injury, the 31-year-old struggled this season with a 6.59 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and 4:13 BB:K ratio in his limited 13 inning sample size. He tallied only eight saves. While Romano remains sidelined, Chad Green should continue to be expected to serve as the primary ninth-inning option, but 33-year-old Yimi Garcia (elbow) could also become a candidate when he returns from the injured list sometime in July.
