Shows better velocity Sunday Romero averaged 95.3 mph during a scoreless appearance Sunday in the first game of a doubleheader versus the Mets, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Romero was called upon in the eighth inning with two runners on, the Cardinals clinging to a one-run lead and Juan Soto, Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo due up. After walking Soto to load the bases, Romero struck out Alonso looking and then got Nimmo to fly out to end the frame. The left-hander has spent extra time in the weight room recently in hopes of regaining some velocity and swing-and-miss, and he's now turned in three straight scoreless appearances while striking out three of nine batters faced.

Still not getting strikeouts Romero has just a 3:5 K:BB through his first 7.1 innings this season.

Impact Romero boasted a 28.6 percent strikeout rate in his first full season with the Cardinals in 2023, but that number fell to 21 percent in 2024 and sits at just 10 percent through his first eight appearances in 2025. The southpaw still induces lots of grounders (54.5 percent this season) and remains manager Oliver Marmol's primary left-handed setup man ahead of closer Ryan Helsley, but he might see his responsibilities decrease if he can't rediscover some swing-and-miss.

Steps in against batters Wednesday Romero (forearm) threw a live batting practice session Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Romero closed the 2024 season on the injured list due to right forearm inflammation, but he began a throwing program in late October and appears to be facing no limitations in spring training. The 28-year-old southpaw should remain a key setup option in front of closer Ryan Helsley in 2025 after logging a 3.36 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 51:16 K:BB while gathering 30 holds, seven wins and one save in 59 innings a season ago.

FEBRUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inks contract for 2025 Romero agreed to a one-year contract with the Cardinals on Thursday to avoid arbitration.

Impact Romero ended the season on the injured list with a forearm issue but resumed throwing early in the offseason and should be healthy for the start of spring training. The left-hander racked up 30 holds and one save with a 3.36 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 51:16 K:BB across 59 innings last year.

JANUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting throwing next week Romero (forearm) is slated to begin a throwing program next week, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Romero landed on the 15-day injured list during the final week of the regular season due to left forearm inflammation. However, as long as he can avoid setbacks, it would appear he is in line for his normal offseason routine. Romero held a 3.36 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 51:16 K:BB over 59 innings for the Cardinals in 2024.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

To IL with forearm inflammation The Cardinals placed Romero on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left forearm flexor inflammation.

Impact It would appear Romero is not dealing with any structural damage to his pitching arm, but the injury will prematurely end his 2024 campaign. It was a successful one for the setup man, as Romero finishes with a 3.36 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 51:16 K:BB over 59 innings.

Stuck with loss Thursday Romero (7-3) allowed a run on one hit and one walk over two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Thursday versus the Pirates.

Impact Romero put two runners on base in the eighth inning, and Ryan Fernandez allowed one of them to score after he entered the game. Over six innings in September, Romero has allowed two runs on six hits and three walks, a slight fade in performance from his level throughout the year. He's now at a 2.76 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 51:15 K:BB through 58.2 innings while adding a save, eight blown saves and 30 holds.
