Cut loose by Yanks The Yankees released Romano (finger) on Monday.

Impact Romano presumably isn't back to full health yet after the Yankees placed him on the injured list Wednesday with a right index finger sprain, but the big club won't bother waiting on his return. Instead, New York will cut Romano loose to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Luis Severino (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

IL bound with finger sprain Romano was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right index finger sprain, retroactive to Wednesday.

Impact Romano was labeled day-to-day after being hit by a line drive on his right hand during Tuesday's win over Baltimore. It looked like he could be in line to avoid the injured list after X-rays came back negative, but he apparently is experiencing enough discomfort to warrant a move to the IL after all. He'll be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 25 against the Red Sox, but depending on how long he needs to recover, it's possible he doesn't return during the regular season. Reliever Clarke Schmidt was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace Romano on the 28-man roster.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Injures hand, X-rays negative Romano took a line drive off his right hand in the ninth inning of Tuesday's win against Baltimore and was forced to exit the game. Manager Aaron Boone indicated after the contest...

Impact The reliever was brought back to the Yankees on a major-league deal Tuesday after being DFA'd by the team last week. He was summoned to protect a big league in the ninth inning but managed to retire only one batter before the hand injury resulted in his departure. Romano was charged with one run on two hits and one walk while striking out one in the outing. It isn't yet clear how long he could be out of action.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Yankees on majors deal Romano signed a major-league contract with the Yankees on Tuesday.

Impact Romano elected free agency after clearing waivers Monday, but now he'll remain with the Yankees and reclaim his spot on the major-league roster. The right-hander holds a 5.84 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 24.2 innings with the Reds, Brewers and Yankees this season, and he figures to work in low-leverage spots for New York going forward. Brooks Kriske was designated for assignment to make room for Romano on the 28-man and 40-man rosters.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Elects free agency Romano became a free agent after declining an outright assignment Monday.

Impact Romano cleared waivers earlier in the day, but instead of heading to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he'll try his luck in free agency. He spent time with the Reds, Brewers and Yankees in 2021, accruing a 5.84 ERA and 1.58 WHIP with a 16:10 K:BB across 24.2 innings.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A Romano cleared waivers Monday and was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Impact Romano's 5.84 ERA season and 5.20 career mark mean it's unsurprising to see him pass through waivers unclaimed. He'll remain as organizational depth for the Yankees going forward.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd Friday Romano was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Friday.

Impact His lone appearance with the Yankees resulted in him taking the loss after allowing a run on two hits and a walk Thursday against the Blue Jays. He holds a 5.84 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 24.2 major-league innings this season, so it's possible he goes unclaimed on waivers and remains in the New York organization.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss Thursday Romano (0-2) allowed a run on two hits, a hit batter and a walk with one strikeout in two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Thursday versus Toronto.

Impact The 27-year-old retired the first two batters he faced but then allowed four straight to reach, including a go-ahead RBI single from Bo Bichette. That was enough to stick Romano with the loss in his first appearance during his second stint this year with the Yankees. He owns a 5.84 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB across 24.2 innings with three different teams in 2021, and he figures to serve a low-leverage role with New York.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected by Yankees Romano's contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

Impact Romano elected free agency in mid-August but rejoined the Yankees on a minor-league deal shortly after. He posted a 3.00 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in six innings at Scranton/Wilkes/Barre since then and will provide an extra arm in the Yankees' bullpen.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Elects free agency Romano declined an outright assignment to Triple-A Nashville on Friday and elected free agency, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Romano has appeared for the Reds, Yankees and Brewers this season but owns an unremarkable 5.63 ERA in 24 innings. He'll now head to the open market in search of his next employer, but he may have to settle for a minor-league deal.

AUGUST 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment Romano was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Tuesday.

Impact Romano has now been DFA'd three times this season, having been previously dropped by the Reds in mid-May and the Yankees in late July. He owns a 5.63 ERA in 24 innings between the three clubs, striking out just 13.9 percent of opposing batters.
