Escapes jam for 33rd save Romano gave up a run on a hit and two walks in 1.1 innings Friday to record his 33rd save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Royals. He struck out one.

Impact The right-hander was called in to handle a bases-loaded, two-out situation in the eighth inning, and while he quelled that rally by the Royals, Romano created his own in the ninth by walking two of the first three batters he faced before finally escaping the jam. After a string of nine straight scoreless appearances, Toronto's closer has been tagged for a run in two straight outings, but on the season he still sports a 2.65 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 62:21 K:BB through 51 innings, with more wins (five) than blown saves (three).

Escapes with 30th save Romano picked up the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over Cincinnati. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Romano was tasked with preserving a one-run lead in the ninth inning and immediately found himself in hot water, allowing the first two batters to reach on a walk and a base hit. The All-Star closer then induced a fly out, a swinging strikeout and a ground out to end the threat and earn his 30th save. Romano has successfully converted both of his save opportunities since his return from the injured list.

Notches save in return Romano struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 29th save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Phillies.

Impact In his first appearance since being activated from the injured list earlier in the day, Romano fired eight of 11 pitches for strikes and topped out at 99.6 mph with his fastball, fanning Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos along the way. The right-hander appears set to immediately resume closing duties for Toronto, with Jordan Hicks and Erik Swanson slipping back into setup roles.

Makes return from IL Romano (back) was activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Romano wound up being sidelined just a couple days beyond the minimum 15 with lower-back inflammation. The closer made one scoreless rehab appearance with Triple-A Buffalo to show the Blue Jays he was ready to go. Romano should immediately regain ninth-inning duties for Toronto.

On track for Tuesday Romano (back) is on track to return to the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Romano is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Buffalo and could be activated from the IL after making just one appearance on the farm. The 30-year-old closer has been sidelined since late July because of lower-back inflammation.

Another bullpen Wednesday Romano (back) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Romano resumed throwing off a mound over the weekend and has responded well so far. Out since late July due to lower-back inflammation, he could skip a minor-league rehab assignment and return to the Blue Jays' closer role when first eligible this Sunday. Erik Swanson and Jordan Hicks have largely been sharing ninth-inning duties in his absence.

Cleared for mound work Romano (back) completed a bullpen session Sunday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Romano seems to be making good progress in his recovery from lower-back inflammation and looks like he'll have a chance at returning from the 15-day injured list when first eligible Aug. 13. While Romano has been sidelined, the Blue Jays have leaned on Erik Swanson (two saves) and Jordan Hicks (one save) in closing situations.

Begins flat-ground throwing Romano (back) played catch on flat ground Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact It was his first time picking up a baseball since he landed on the injured list this past Saturday due to lower-back inflammation. Romano could advance to mound work sometime this weekend and might be able to return to the Blue Jays when first eligible Aug. 13. Yimi Garcia logged the most recent save for Toronto last Friday against the Angels and the Jays also added Jordan Hicks from the Cardinals ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, but there should be no competition for Romano when he is healthy.
