Hangs on for fifth save Romano earned the save in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Phillies despite allowing one run on three hits in the ninth inning.

Impact Tasked with protecting a three-run lead in the ninth, Romano allowed a run on a Bryson Stott double. However, he managed to strand the tying runs on second and third, inducing a pair of pop outs, to lock down his fifth save of the year. While Romano is a perfect 5-for-5 in save chances, things haven't come easy of late -- he's now allowed a run and multiple hits in back-to-back appearances. Overall, the 31-year-old right-hander sports a 4.70 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB through his first 7.2 innings this season.

Throws live batting practice Romano (elbow) threw a live batting practice session Sunday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Romano has been ramping things back up after being diagnosed with elbow inflammation late in spring training. There's no timetable for his return, but one should become clearer in the coming days.

MARCH 25, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Likely to open season on IL Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that it's "reasonable to say" that Romano (elbow) will begin the season on the injured list, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Erik Swanson (forearm) is also expected to be IL-bound, which could leave closing duties, at least initially, to Yimi Garcia or perhaps Chad Green. Romano was slated to play catch over the weekend and the hope is that he'll begin ramping up with mound work soon, so it's possible his stint on the injured list is a relatively short one. For now, though, there is no timetable.

Blows fourth save Romano (5-6) blew the save and took the loss Saturday as the Blue Jays were downed 7-6 by the Rays, giving up two runs on four hits in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.

Impact The Toronto closer gave up three straight hits to lead off the ninth inning, but it looked like he might escape the jam with the score still tied 6-6 when he coaxed an apparent double-play grounder from Junior Caminero. Upon replay, the Tampa Bay rookie was judged to be safe at first base, and Josh Lowe followed with a walkoff hit. Romero hasn't blown a save since May 20, ending his streak of successful conversions at 26 -- a Blue Jays franchise record. On the season, the right-hander has a 2.68 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 70:24 K:BB through 57 innings while converting 36 of 40 save chances.

Earns 35th save Romano picked up the save Friday against Boston. He struck out two over a perfect inning.

Impact Romano had uncharacteristically allowed eight baserunners and three runs (two earned) in his previous three appearances spanning four innings but slammed the door on the Red Sox with a strikeout, foul out, strikeout to comfortably secure his 35th save of the season. The Jays' closer now holds a 2.59 ERA with 66 strikeouts in 53 innings and remains one of the top relievers in baseball.

Takes care of business for save Romano got the save in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Royals, pitching a scoreless ninth while allowing two hits and a walk. He struck out two.

Impact Romano found himself with the bases loaded and just one out but was able to escape the trouble by striking out Nelson Velasquez and getting Maikel Garcia to fly out to end the game. He's now allowed at least one baserunner in each of his last three outings but has still picked up two saves and a win during that span. The 30-year-old has put together another remarkable campaign. He sits at fourth in baseball with 34 saves and owns a sparkling 2.60 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 64:22 K:BB in 52 innings.
