Impact Rom will be back in the majors for the first time since Aug. 24, and across 12 big-league outings this season, he has a 6.35 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and three holds across 11.1 innings. Right-hander Joey Estes was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Sent down to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Rom to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Impact The move corresponds with Jose Suarez (hip) being activated from the 15-day injured list. Rom made seven appearances out of the A's bullpen since being recalled Aug. 12, allowing six runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out five across 5.2 innings. He'll head back down to Triple-A, where he has 2.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 59:10 K:BB over 40 innings.

Summoned to big leagues The Athletics recalled Rom from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Impact After claiming Rom off waivers from the Brewers on Tuesday, the Athletics could have stashed the lefty at Triple-A Las Vegas, but he'll report to the big club right away and provide a fresh arm out of the bullpen. Rom -- who struck out 11 batters and allowed two earned runs on six hits and four walks in 5.2 frames with the Brewers this season -- is likely to serve as a multi-inning reliever for the Athletics.

Claimed by A's The Athletics claimed Rom off waivers Tuesday.

Impact The left-hander was designated for assignment by the Brewers over the weekend and will retain a 40-man roster spot with the A's. Rom was at the Triple-A level for Milwaukee and should report to Triple-A Las Vegas for his new organization. He has a 2.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 59:10 K:BB across 40 Triple-A innings this year and also gave up two earned runs on six hits with 11 strikeouts and four walks over 5.2 frames in the majors.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

Erased from 40-man roster The Brewers designated Rom for assignment Sunday.

Impact Rom will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to outfielder Ji Hwan Bae, who signed a minor-league deal with the Brewers earlier Sunday before being elevated to the big leagues after Cooper Pratt (hamstring) moved to the injured list in a corresponding move. A 26-year-old lefty, Rom was previously up for two stints in the majors earlier this season, logging a 3.18 ERA and 1.76 WHIP in 5.2 innings over five relief appearances.

Sent back to minors The Brewers optioned Rom to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Called up Sunday The Brewers recalled Rom from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-hander was optioned to Nashville on June 22 but is back in the majors since Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is headed to the injured list. Rom gave up just two earned runs and struck out 10 across his 5.1 frames with the Brewers, though he also allowed six hits and four walks.

Impact After being called up from Triple-A Nashville on June 6, Rom was able to see his first big-league action since 2023. He covered 5.1 innings over four appearances during his stay with Milwaukee, logging a 3.38 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB. Rom will cede his spot on the active roster to Brandon Woodruff (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Monday in Cincinnati.

JUNE 18 • Associated Press

Selected from Nashville The Brewers selected Rom's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact With Brian Fitzpatrick becoming the third Brewers reliever to land on the injured list in the past two days, the team will turn to Rom to provide depth to its bullpen. The 26-year-old southpaw hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023, but he's posted a 2.81 ERA and 1.19 WHIP to go with a 37:8 K:BB through 25.2 innings at Nashville this season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for spring debut Rom (undisclosed) is scheduled to make a relief appearance in Monday's Cactus League game against the Padres, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact The 26-year-old lefty appears to be healthy again after having his past two seasons wiped out by injury. He didn't pitch at all in 2024 while recovering from shoulder surgery, then made just seven appearances in the minors in 2025 before being shut down in June with an unspecified injury. Rom signed a minor-league deal with the Brewers over the winter and will likely be ticketed for the rotation at Triple-A Nashville to open the 2026 season.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Gets NRI deal from Milwaukee The Brewers signed Rom (undisclosed) to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rom missed the entire 2024 season following left shoulder surgery and in 2025 made his last appearance with Triple-A Memphis in the Cardinals organization on June 5 due to an undisclosed injury. It's unclear what his current health is, but the Brewers felt good enough about his status to invite him to spring training. Rom will likely begin the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Nashville.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lands back on 7-day IL Rom was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Memphis on Monday with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Rom began the season on the IL as he worked his way back from left shoulder surgery. It's not clear whether he's encountered a setback with the shoulder or is dealing with a new issue. Rom allowed six runs over just 2.2 innings in his last start with Memphis.

JUNE 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from Triple-A IL Rom (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Impact Rom made a rehab start with Memphis on Sunday, tossing four scoreless innings with a 4:2 K:BB. Coming back from soreness in his surgically repaired left shoulder/biceps, Rom yielded only two runs (one earned) with a promising 17:2 K:BB across 13 rehab innings. He'll give St. Louis rotation depth at Memphis.

Moving rehab up to Triple-A Rom (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Palm Beach earlier this month and will be moved up to Triple-A Memphis for a start Sunday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Po...

Impact Rom missed all of the 2024 season with left biceps tendinitis which eventually required surgery, and he experienced a setback in February when he felt shoulder discomfort. The southpaw allowed just two runs (one earned) with a 13:0 K:BB over nine innings in his three rehab outings with Palm Beach. Rom is no longer on the Cardinals' 40-man roster, but, if healthy, could give the organization some much-needed rotation depth for a Memphis team that's dealt with its fair share of injuries.

MAY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Setback with shoulder Rom has been shut down from throwing after feeling soreness in his surgically repaired left shoulder during a recent bullpen session, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch r...

Impact Rom had been considered fully recovered from the arthroscopic surgery he had last May but has now encountered a setback. He'll rest for a few days after being given a PRP injection before a decision is made regarding when he can resume throwing. Rom was removed from the Cardinals' 40-man roster earlier in the offseason but is in camp as a non-roster invitee.

FEBRUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A Rom (shoulder) cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Impact The Cardinals added some prospects to the 40-man roster as Rule 5 draft protection, so Rom was a roster casualty. He had arthroscopic shoulder surgery in May and did not pitch at all in 2024. If he's healthy this spring, he should provide rotation depth at Triple-A.

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Getting opinion from specialist Rom (biceps) will be examined by Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas on Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Rom hasn't done any throwing since late March after being diagnosed with left biceps tendinitis and has not responded well to plyometric exercises. The Cardinals are hoping to get a clearer picture on Rom's status following Tuesday's visit.

APRIL 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fans seven in no-decision Rom came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 15-6 rout of the Reds, giving up four runs on seven hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out seven.

Impact The Cardinals' offense handed the southpaw a 10-0 lead after two innings, but Rom wasn't efficient enough to stick around and qualify for his second win, getting the hook after 90 pitches (55 strikes). The seven strikeouts did tie his career high however, set Sept. 13 against the Orioles. Rom has had a shaky start to his big-league career, posting an intriguing 32:19 K:BB through his first 33.2 innings but also an 8.02 ERA thanks to seven homers allowed. The 23-year-old could have an uphill climb to secure a full-time rotation spot next spring.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hit hard by Padres Rom (1-4) allowed eight runs (six earned) on 11 hits and a walk over 3.1 innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against San Diego.

Impact Rom served up a three-run shot to Juan Soto in the first frame and allowed at least one run in each inning he appeared in. After his first career scoreless start, Rom has been tagged with 11 earned runs in just 6.2 innings over his last two outings. His ERA has shot up to 7.98 through 29.1 MLB frames. Rom is currently lined up to finish his 2023 campaign with a home matchup against the Reds.
