Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (elbow) earned a save in his season debut during Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Yankees. Romano saw action immediately after being activated from the 15-day injured list earlier in the day. He entered the game to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two. He got the first out on a lineout, hit a batter, allowed a double, got the second out on an RBI groundout, and ended the game with another groundout. It wasn't the cleanest save, but it was encouraging to see Romano convert in game action. The 30-year-old's return is a welcome sight for fantasy managers, as he has provided 36 saves in each of his last two seasons.
The Toronto Blue Jays officially activated right-handed relievers Jordan Romano (elbow) and Erik Swanson (forearm) from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned right-hander Nate Pearson to Triple-A Buffalo and designated right-hander Mitch White for assignment. Romano and Swanson came out of their short minor-league rehab assignments healthy and are ready to make their 2024 debuts with Toronto at the back end of their bullpen. While the 30-year-old Romano could be eased into his regular closer role, fantasy managers should be ready to throw him right into their starting lineups in season-long leagues after he recorded 36 saves in each of the last two seasons for the Blue Jays. Swanson has fantasy appeal as well in holds leagues and as a handcuff to Romano for his late-inning setup role.
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitchers Jordan Romano (elbow) and Erik Swanson (forearm) are likely to be activated from the injured list on Tuesday. Both Romano and Swanson have completed their minor-league rehab assignments and are ready to make their 2024 debuts in the big leagues this week. The Blue Jays could decide to ease the 30-year-old Romano into closing duties when he's back, but he should be rostered already in all fantasy formats. With Romano and Swanson injured, Chad Green has picked up two saves, while Yimi Garcia has one early in the season. Swanson probably isn't going to many save chances in 2024 as long as Romano stays healthy the rest of the way, but he'll be a key late-inning setup man and will have value in fantasy in holds leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano finished 2023 with the same number of saves he totaled the previous season, 36, but saw a drop in pitching ratios. He posted a 2.90 ERA compared to 2.11 in 2022 and a 1.22 WHIP compared to 1.05 the previous season. Romano was dominant before the All-Star Break, where he tallied 26 of his 36 saves with a 1.12 WHIP, but in the second half, he saw a significant dip that tarnished his statistics. The 30-year-old dealt with lower back inflammation mid-season, which could explain the dip in his second-half numbers. Another concern was his below-average 9.7 walk%, putting him in unfavorable situations. Despite this, the Blue Jays closer continued to rack up strikeouts at a high-level thanks to his 35.9 Whiff% and 33.2 Chase%, placing him in the 96th and 90th percentiles, respectively. Romano is projected to tally a high total of saves at 31 but is projected to see his ERA increase even further to 3.38 per ATC. He has an ADP of 74 on NFBC.
