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.
Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (elbow) is back to throwing out to 120 feet on flat ground. The Blue Jays are still working toward getting Romano on a mound, which will begin a more formal rehab schedule, but it's encouraging to hear the hurler is back to where he was at in his throwing program before it was slowed down a week ago due to right elbow inflammation. Although he has a chance to resume throwing off the mound sometime during this weekend's series against the division-rival New York Yankees, Romano is unlikely to rejoin Toronto's bullpen until early July at this point. With Yimi Garcia (elbow) joining Romano on the sidelines, Chad Green is the Jays' favorite for ninth-inning work for the time being and belongs on the majority of fantasy rosters for those who need saves.
Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (elbow) played some light catch on Monday. Meanwhile, fellow reliever Yimi Garcia (elbow) was throwing from 120 feet. Romano is already playing catch again after reporting some soreness in his right elbow while throwing long toss last Friday. The 31-year-old isn't close to a return, though, especially since he can't seem to shake his right-elbow issues since they first cropped up in spring training. When he has been available, he's been shaky with a 6.59 ERA, a 1.46 WHIP, eight saves and 13 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings. Still, he should be stashed in all fantasy formats as Toronto's primary closer when he's healthy. Garcia has filled in nicely for Romano this year and already has five saves. Until one of Romano or Garcia can return from the injured list, Chad Green will serve as the Jays' first option in save situations.
Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano (elbow) was shut down from baseball activities by the team after experiencing soreness in his right elbow while throwing long toss on Friday. The shutdown is only expected to be for a few days but it marks a setback in Romano's recovery. The 31-year-old has been on the injured list since June 1st and missed the start of this season with elbow inflammation, adding to the Blue Jays' need to be cautious with any setbacks. Romano did not perform well while healthy, posting a 6.59 ERA in just over 13 innings while still leading the Blue Jays in saves with eight. In his absence, and with Yimi Garcia being placed on the injured list, Toronto has turned to Nate Pearson for their closer role. Fantasy managers in need of a closer should consider Pearson, though his 4.13 ERA isn't exactly appealing on the surface.
