Drew Rom - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Hit hard in Tuesday's loss Rom (1-3) took the loss Tuesday, coughing up five runs on six hits and two walks over 3.1 innings as the Cardinals fell 7-3 to the Brewers. He struck out three.

Impact Five of the six hits off the southpaw went for extra bases, including a third-inning solo shot by William Contreras. Rom was coming off his best big-league outing to date last Wednesday when he blanked the Orioles over 5.1 innings, but for the most part the 23-year-old hasn't looked ready for the majors, stumbling to a 6.92 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 21:15 K:BB through his first 26 MLB innings. Assuming St. Louis doesn't shuffle its rotation in order to evaluate another young arm, Rom lines up to take the mound again this weekend in San Diego.

Excellent in first win Rom (1-2) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two hits and three walks over 5.1 scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory over the Orioles. He struck out seven.

Impact Rom was impressive against a strong Baltimore lineup, delivering 5.1 scoreless innings while setting a season high with seven strikeouts in his first major-league win. After struggling through his first four starts, the rookie left-hander now sports a 5.96 ERA with a 1.76 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB through 22.2 innings. Rom will look to build on Wednesday's performance in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against the Brewers.

Scuffles again Rom did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks over 3.2 innings in the win against Cincinnati. He didn't register a strikeout.

Impact After throwing 11 stellar innings at Triple-A Memphis with a 0.82 ERA and 18:4 K:BB post-trade deadline, Rom's major league debut has been nothing short of a disaster. The 23-year-old now sports a 7.79 ERA and 2.02 WHIP with 11:8 K:BB in 17.1 innings over four starts. Rom currently lines up to face his former organization, the Orioles, on the road for his next start.

Labors against Pirates Rom allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one batter over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Impact Rom began the contest well, holding the Pirates scoreless through three frames. However, he gave up a run on a walk and a triple in the fourth, then saw the wheels fall off in the fifth when four of the six batters he faced reached base. Rom was lifted before he could complete five innings when Andrew McCutchen knotted the score 3-3 with a two-out RBI single. Rom at least avoided taking his third straight loss since being called up to the majors, but he's had a rough time with a 7.24 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB over 13.2 frames thus far.

Better in second start Rom (0-2) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over 5.1 innings against the Phillies. He struck out six.

Impact It was certainly a better performance from Rom after he allowed eight runs (six earned) across 3.2 innings in his big-league debut. Still, the rookie left-hander took a second loss as the Cardinals offense couldn't crack Aaron Nola in a 3-0 defeat. Rom had shown some promise in the minors this season, working to a 2.70 ERA while striking out 45 over his last seven Triple-A starts (33.1 innings). Sunday's outing could earn him another shot in the Cardinals' rotation -- Rom would currently line up for a home matchup with the Pirates next week.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will get another start Rom is tentatively scheduled to start Sunday in Philadelphia, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rom struggled in his major-league debut Monday versus the Pirates, yielding eight runs -- six earned -- on eight hits and four walks over just 3.2 innings of work. He probably would have been sent back to the minors Tuesday under normal circumstances, but the Cardinals need him to fill a rotation spot after having to place Matthew Liberatore (back) on the 15-day injured list.

Hit hard in MLB debut Rom (0-1) took the loss Monday, allowing eight runs (six earned) on eight hits and four walks over 3.2 innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out four.

Impact The 23-year-old southpaw struggled to keep the Pirates at bay in his major-league debut and was pulled with two outs in the fourth inning after surrendering a three-run homer to Josh Palacios. Rom dazzled in his two starts at Triple-A Memphis after coming over from the Orioles in the Jack Flaherty trade, allowing just one earned run on two hits while striking out 18 across 11 innings; however, Rom received a rude welcome to the big leagues Monday. Whether the rookie will get another opportunity in the rotation remains uncertain.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled for MLB debut Rom was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Rom is set to make his major-league debut Monday in Pittsburgh. Acquired from the Orioles in the Jack Flaherty trade, Rom allowed just one earned run while striking out 18 across 11 innings in two starts after joining Memphis. His numbers while at Triple-A Norfolk this season weren't nearly as good (5.34 ERA), although he's missed bats consistently in the minors. The Cardinals have rotation spots up for grabs down the stretch, so Rom could earn additional starts if he pitches well.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making MLB debut Monday The Cardinals will recall Rom from Triple-A Memphis to start Monday's game against the Pirates at PNC Park, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact One of three prospects acquired from the Orioles in the Aug. 1 deal that sent Jack Flaherty to Baltimore, Rom will be the first of the trio to reach the big leagues. Rom was unfazed by the move from Triple-A Norfolk in the Baltimore organization to Memphis, as he struck out 18 batters and allowed just one earned run on two hits and four walks over his two starts with the Redbirds. The Cardinals will make room in the rotation for Rom while Matthew Liberatore gets two extra days to recover from a back injury before making his next start, but whether Rom sticks with the big club beyond Monday will likely hinge on how he performs in his big-league debut. If Rom acquits himself well Monday, the Cardinals would likely be willing to open up a more permanent spot for him in the rotation.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Part of package for Flaherty Rom was traded from the Orioles to the Cardinals on Tuesday along with Cesar Prieto in exchange for Jack Flaherty, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Rom, a 6-foot-2 southpaw, is back at Triple-A after starting seven games there to close 2022. He has a 5.34 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 100 strikeouts in 86 innings through 19 appearances. Rom lacks high-end velocity, and opposing batters have hit .290 against him this year.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Rom was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk by the Orioles on Thursday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Rom was only up for a couple days and didn't make an appearance. The Orioles have yet to announces a corresponding move but will have one prior to Friday's game versus the Pirates.

Recalled from Triple-A Rom was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk by the Orioles on Tuesday.

Impact It will be the first stint in the big leagues for Rom, who was added to the Orioles' 40-man roster over the offseason. The left-hander has been starting at Norfolk, posting a 2.87 ERA in six outings, but it would appear he's pegged for relief duty in Baltimore for now.

Sent to minors The Orioles optioned Rom to minor-league camp Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rom, whom Baltimore added to the 40-man roster over the offseason, appears set to open the 2023 campaign in the Triple-A Norfolk rotation. He made the jump from Double-A Bowie to Norfolk in mid-August of last year, but he turned in shaky results in his first taste of Triple-A, delivering a 5.58 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 36:16 K:BB in 30.2 innings over his first six starts with the affiliate.
