Fernando Romero News
The Minnesota Twins recalled relief pitcher Fernando Romero on Thursday, optioning reliever Ryan Eades to Triple-A. In 2018, Romero started all 11 games he appeared in, posting a 4.69 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 55 2/3 innings. This season, he appeared in relief seven times, allowing five runs in eight innings. Triple-A didn't go much better with a 5.47 ERA in 24 2/3 innings. If Romero were to return to the starting rotation he could have deeper league streaming potential, but as a reliever he's easy waiver fodder.
Minnesota Twins pitcher Fernando Romero will be recalled from Triple-A on Sunday and will start for Aaron Slegers who is being placed on the disabled list with a shoulder injury. Romero has pitched to a 3-3 record with a 4.38 ERA and a 44/19 K/BB ratio in 10 starts at the major league level in 2018. It's likely that Romero is demoted following the game, however he will face a Rays team that just saw Wilson Ramos suffer an injury. Romero could be a low-owned streamer to target in DFS on Sunday.
Minnesota Twins right-handed pitcher Alan Busenitz was called up on Sunday. Busenitz sported a sterling 1.27 ERA during his time at Triple-A Rochester to go along with a fantastic 32/5 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 28 1/3 innings. His promotion was announced in conjunction with starting pitcher Fernando Romeros demotion to Rochester. Romero has struggled on his way to a 4.38 ERA this season, but it still came as somewhat a surprise that he was sent down. The Twins have to hope that the rookie will regain some confidence down in the minors. All said, Busenitz value as a middle reliever especially in the Twins much-maligned bullpen makes him an intriguing option in mixed leagues.
