On Wednesday, Toronto Blue Jays relief hurler Jordan Romano secured his 19th save of the season by conceding just one run in the ninth inning against the Orioles. Given the responsibility to defend a three-run advantage in the final inning, Romano gave up three hits and an earned run but recovered. With 19 saves, the 30-year-old has also posted a 3-2 record, a 2.89 ERA, and 34 strikeouts in 28 innings. Romano has cemented himself as one of the top closers in the league, and he is an excellent relief option to have in fantasy.--Andrew Lennox - RotoBaller

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Jordan Romano came on in the 10th inning of Sunday's matchup with the Cubs, dispatching Chicago on 13 pitches to secure the 3-1 victory and record the save. It was the righty's second save of the season, but he's not expected to log many more, as lefty Jose Alvarado remains the team's primary closer. Romano hasn't pitched particularly well anyhow, allowing 14 earned runs in 10 1/3 innings (12.19 ERA), posting a 2.03 WHIP and a 7.8 percent K-BB%. Perhaps he can get on a roll and become more relevant in leagues that score for holds, as the 32-year-old does have three of those so far in addition to his two saves.--Jarod Rupp - 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
