Chicago Cubs shortstop Andrew Romine went 2-for-5 with two runs and a game-tying three-run home run in Friday's loss versus the Chicago White Sox. Romine crushed his first big-league home run since 2017 off of relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel to tie the game 4-4 in the bottom of the eighth inning. Romine is one of many new faces on the Cubs roster and has been splitting playing time along with infielder Sergio Alcantara at shortstop with the dismissal of shortstop Javier Baez at the trade deadline. Romine is now hitting .438 with one home run and four RBI in 16 at-bats since his promotion on Saturday. Despite the hot start, he is a career .238 hitter that offers minimum power. Romine should remain on the waiver wire in all formats for now.
Seattle Mariners infielder Andrew Romine (shoulder) is dealing with a shoulder subluxation but will rest for now, and he doesn't think it'll keep him out for long. Romine should be good to go for the start of the regular season as he competes for a utility role on the team's bench. He hit just .233 with four home runs and 25 RBI in 124 games for the Tigers last season and shouldn't be on anyone's radar.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Andrew Romine left Tuesday's game with the Rockies, and Mariners manager Scott Servais said he thinks Romine may have suffered a shoulder injury. Romine was removed from Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Rockies after an awkward tag attempt at third base in the bottom of the ninth inning. He will probably be run through some tests before the Mariners offer an exact diagnosis. The versatile 32-year-old avoided arbitration with Seattle in December by agreeing to a one-year, $1.05 million contract.
The Seattle Mariners claimed infielder Andrew Romine off waivers from the Tigers on Thursday, according to M's executive vice president and general manager of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto. Romine played in a career-high 124 games with the Tigers in 2017 but hit only .233 with four home runs and 25 RBI in a career-high 318 at-bats. He'll be organizational depth as a utility player for the Mariners.
