Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano picked up his 33rd save of the season in Monday's 3-2 win over the Rays. Romano came in to close things out up by one and turned in a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout. The 29-year-old has been a high-end fantasy option all season, converting all but four save opportunities with a 1.95 ERA and 10.41 K/9 rate. He should continue to help fantasy managers down the stretch as the Blue Jays compete for a playoff spot.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson summoned right-handed reliever Jordan Romano for the seventh inning on Sunday against the Los Angels Dodgers with a two-run lead. And one batter into his outing, the Phillies had action in the bullpen. Romano couldn't crack 94 mph with his fastball, and his diminished velocity was a problem. The 31-year-old veteran allowed a single, walk and a double, and all three runners scored. Romano has faced 22 batters so far in 2025, and 11 have reached base against him. "He feels fine. So I don't know whether it's kind of a dead-arm issue or what. But it concerns me a little bit that the velocity's down," Thomson said. Romano missed most of last year with a pinched nerve in his elbow that required surgery, but his fastball averaged 96 mph in spring training. It's expected that Romano will be used in lower-leverage situations moving forward, which could mean an increased late-inning, high-leverage role for Joe Ross.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jordan Romano was called upon to hold a 3-0 lead against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Romano got into trouble quickly as he walked Mookie Betts and gave up a two-run blast to Tommy Edman. He would put the tying run on base, but Romano was able to punch out a couple of batters and work out of the jam. He earned his first save of the season, but Romano holds a 9.00 ERA, 1.75 WHIP, and has walked three batters in four innings of work. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Jose Alvarado who could quickly take over as the closer in Philadelphia.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jordan Romano tossed a shutout frame in his spring debut. This was his first time facing live hitters since May as he battled a right elbow injury during most of the 2024 season. His fastball reached 98 mph, which did not dip below 96 mph. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout camp but seeing him perform well in his first taste of spring training is a positive sign. Last season, the 31-year-old was limited to just 13 2/3 innings of work. Romano posted a high 6.59 ERA with a 1.46 WHIP during this brief stint. He tallied 13 punchouts and served up four free passes. However, during 2022 and 2023, Romano tallied at least 36 saves in each campaign and held a cumulative 2.49 ERA with a 1.11 WHIP. Fantasy managers should expect Romano to operate as the team's go-to option in the ninth innings if he continues to perform at this level during camp.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Free-agent right-hander Jordan Romano (elbow) agreed to a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday for above his projected salary arbitration number of $7.75 million, according to a source. The deal is pending a physical, which is more important after he was limited to only 15 appearances in 2024 with the Toronto Blue Jays due to a right-elbow injury that required surgery. The 31-year-old right-hander became a free agent when Toronto non-tendered him in November, but Romano quickly finds a new landing spot in the National League and could certainly bounce-back as a high-leverage fantasy arm with one of the best teams in baseball next season if he's past his elbow issues. From 2021 to 2023 with the Jays, Romano was one of the most dominant closers in baseball with a 2.37 ERA, 30.3% strikeout rate and 95 saves. If healthy, he should be Philly's primary ninth-inning guy in 2025.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
