Sal Romano News
The Milwaukee Brewers claimed relief pitcher Sal Romano off waivers on Tuesday. Romano was designated for assignment by the New York Yankees on July 31. The Brewers will be Romano's third team this year as he began the year with the Cincinnati Reds. The Brewers placed John Axford (elbow) on the injured list on Tuesday, so they decided to look elsewhere for some bullpen depth. Romano doesn't figure to see many high-leverage opportunities off the bat. Over 23 innings this year, he's posted a 4.70 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP.
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sal Romano said he has lost almost 15 pounds since the season ended. I was always 270 (pounds), creeping up a little bit, Romano said. I just wanted to see how my body reacts. Im going to see how I feel when I do start throwing and see how my arm responds, my body responds. If I need to put a little bit more weight on, Ill do that. But I really was determined to lose some weight this offseason." The right-hander had a 5.31 ERA in 39 outings (25 starts) for the Reds last year and will compete for a rotation spot in spring training. You can avoid him in mixed leagues.
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Sal Romano could start on Sunday against the Pirates in the regular season finale if he's not used in relief on Friday. Romano had a few decent starts here and there in 2018, but he was too erratic mostly for those to rely on him in mixed leagues. The right-hander is 8-11 with a 5.36 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and mediocre 6.7 K/9 over 37 outings (24 starts). He also hasn't started a game since Aug. 21, making him more unattractive if he gets the nod on Sunday.
