Impact After having been held out of action since Feb. 26 due to a back issue, Romero returned to the spring lineup as a designated hitter Saturday, going 0-for-2 in a 2-0 win over the Rays. Romero apparently experienced no setbacks coming out of that contest, prompting the Red Sox to clear him to play the field a day later. The 22-year-old is likely to assigned to Triple-A Worcester before spring training concludes.
