Jordan Romano Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Jordan Romano (finger, neck) is unlikely to return during the last week of the regular season. Romano has been on the 15-day injured list with inflammation in his right middle finger since Aug. 26, and he's now dealing with numbness in his finger and neck stiffness. He's not throwing as a result. Romano tallied eight saves earlier in the year when the Phillies were scrambling for a closer (they solved that problem in July by acquiring Jhoan Duran), but he has logged a horrid 8.23 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP, 47 strikeouts, and 17 walks over 42 2/3 innings.

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Jordan Romano (finger) threw a bullpen session Thursday, MLB.com reports. Romano landed on the 15-day IL on August 26 with a finger injury, and after playing long toss on Wednesday, he appears to be heading in the right direction by throwing a bullpen on Thursday. The next step in the process, barring any setbacks, will likely be facing live hitters over the next few days and returning to the Phillies bullpen next week. Currently, Romano is experiencing one of the worst seasons of his seven-year MLB career, with a career-high ERA of 8.23. After bringing him over in the off-season to be the closer, he has lost that job, forcing the Phillies to bring over Jhoan Duran from the Minnesota Twins at the trade deadline. With Romano now pitching in lower-leverage situations, his fantasy value has taken a hit.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jordan Romano (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. This is probably the best move for the Phillies given how much Romano has struggled lately. The right-hander has allowed 10 earned runs over his last four outings. Now, he'll get a few weeks to recover from his finger issue and hopefully get back on track. In a corresponding move, relievers Daniel Robert and Lou Trivino have been recalled from Triple-A. The Phillies had two open spots with Romano going down and Joe Ross being released. None of these pitchers figure to have any fantasy value.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jordan Romano continued his disappointing season in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Giants. Romano came in to pitch the bottom of the eighth inning up by two with runners on first and second with one out. He ended the inning with a pop-out and a fly-out and stayed in to pitch the ninth. He allowed a leadoff double, got the first out on a pop-out, allowed a single, and then allowed a walk-off inside-the-park home run to end the game. It was certainly not a conventional outcome, and the Phillies' bullpen has been all over the place this season. Unfortunately, Romano has not been able to take advantage of any role opportunities. The 32-year-old is now 1-4 and has converted eight of 11 save opportunities with a 7.44 ERA, a 1.53 WHIP, and a 9.92 K/9 rate in 32 2/3 innings pitched. While he may continue to see save opportunities, his ratios are so poor that he is a fantasy liability at this time.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jordan Romano recorded his eighth save of the season in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Braves in Game 1 of a doubleheader. It wasn't a clean inning by any means, as he gave up one hit and walked three batters. He still managed to escape without giving up a run thanks to Ozzie Albies getting caught stealing. The 32-year-old has been shaky of late but still effective overall since gaining more responsibility in Philadelphia's bullpen after Jose Alvarado's 80-game suspension. Five of his eight saves have come since May 11, and there isn't much danger of him losing save chances with Matt Strahm and Orion Kerkering also struggling recently.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jordan Romano picked up his seventh save in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Atlanta Braves. The veteran was summoned in the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead and needed just 11 pitches (eight strikes) to retire the side. It was a nice rebound for him after yielding three hits and three earned runs in his last appearance against the Athletics. Romano's ERA sits at a ghastly 7.65, but he's been better in May than he was in April and boasts a much more palatable 3.47 xERA. Despite the bloated statistics, he's pitching at a higher level than in 2024 -- sporting significant decreases in average exit velocity (87.9 MPH) and hard-hit rate (35.8%). Furthermore, his strikeout percentage has climbed back up to his career norms (28.7%).

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Jordan Romano threw a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 2-0 win over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. Romano did not allow a hit while striking out two to pick up his sixth save of the season. The veteran hurler has had a rough season in 2025, posting a 0-1 record, 6.87 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 22 strikeouts over 18 1/3 innings of work. That being said, he is expected to get the bulk of the save chances after the team's closer, Jose Alvarado, was suspended for 80 games earlier in the week for violating the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy. Romano is worth a speculative add in fantasy leagues if you're desperate for saves.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jordan Romano picked up his fifth save of the season on Sunday, tossing a perfect ninth inning to preserve a 1-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Romano has been fantastic of late, with eight straight scoreless appearances in which he has allowed a total of four baserunners. The 32-year-old still holds horrible numbers on the season, but most of that was from a few brutal outings early on. With Jose Alvarado suspended for 80 games due to PED use, Romano could be in line for the majority of save opportunities, although Matt Strahm could see some usage as well. Romano should be rostered in all leagues where saves matter.

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Jordan Romano came on in the 10th inning of Sunday's matchup with the Cubs, dispatching Chicago on 13 pitches to secure the 3-1 victory and record the save. It was the righty's second save of the season, but he's not expected to log many more, as lefty Jose Alvarado remains the team's primary closer. Romano hasn't pitched particularly well anyhow, allowing 14 earned runs in 10 1/3 innings (12.19 ERA), posting a 2.03 WHIP and a 7.8 percent K-BB%. Perhaps he can get on a roll and become more relevant in leagues that score for holds, as the 32-year-old does have three of those so far in addition to his two saves.

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson summoned right-handed reliever Jordan Romano for the seventh inning on Sunday against the Los Angels Dodgers with a two-run lead. And one batter into his outing, the Phillies had action in the bullpen. Romano couldn't crack 94 mph with his fastball, and his diminished velocity was a problem. The 31-year-old veteran allowed a single, walk and a double, and all three runners scored. Romano has faced 22 batters so far in 2025, and 11 have reached base against him. "He feels fine. So I don't know whether it's kind of a dead-arm issue or what. But it concerns me a little bit that the velocity's down," Thomson said. Romano missed most of last year with a pinched nerve in his elbow that required surgery, but his fastball averaged 96 mph in spring training. It's expected that Romano will be used in lower-leverage situations moving forward, which could mean an increased late-inning, high-leverage role for Joe Ross.
