Jordan Romano Stats

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Jordan Romano was called upon in the eighth inning to face the top of the White Sox lineup in which he worked a scoreless frame to preserve a 4-2 lead at the time. The right-hander worked around a leadoff walk to Tim Anderson who went on to steal second and third base, but he prevented him from scoring with a shallow fly, strikeout, and a groundout. It's clear manager Charlie Montoyo wants Romano working the most high-leverage spots in the game no matter what inning, which is unfortunate for fantasy purposes since it will cut into his save chances. Still, his 1.74 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 27 strikeouts in 20 2/3 IP are certainly playable in leagues despite just three saves on the season.

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano worked a clean seventh inning in Sunday's first game of a doubleheader, collecting his third save in the 4-1 win. He worked around a one-out single from Josh Naylor, but was otherwise effective collecting a strikeout, groundout, and a pop out to finish off the Tribe. Romano appears to be manager Charlie Montoya's preference for save chances since he's received the last two opportunities while also preserving a four-run lead in the ninth earlier this week. The closing role makes the right-hander is a viable fantasy asset, not to mention his crisp 1.93 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 25 punchouts in 18.2 IP.

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano closed out Saturday night's 4-0 win over the Phillies, unfortunately he was not credited with a save. Warming up in the pen with a 3-0 lead in the eighth, the Jays tacked on a late run in the bottom half of the inning, so Romano entered the ninth in a non-save situation. He struck out two in the frame, working around a walk and a single before getting Jean Segura to groundout to end the game. The right-hander has been sharp of late with just one earned run over his last eight innings and 10 strikeouts in that span. He's the clear choice for manager Charlie Montoyo for save chances, but they have yet to pitch him in back-to-back nights since he returned from the IL in mid-April. This could open the door for Tyler Chatwood to vulture a save opportunity, but Romano is still the arm to own in this bullpen.
