Jordan Romano Throws Successful Side Session
5 months agoToronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (elbow) threw a successful side session in Florida on Tuesday, an important step towards his return to the big-league bullpen. It was the first time that Romano threw off a mound since being diagnosed with right-elbow inflammation during spring training. Both he and Erik Swanson (forearm) opened the regular season on the injured list, leaving the back end of Toronto's bullpen thin. While he has yet to record a save, Yimi Garcia is the favorite for save opportunities for the Jays until either Romano or Swanson are activated. Romano is going to likely need a couple more side sessions before he starts facing live hitters, but he should be able to make his 2024 debut before the end of April, barring a setback. As one of the best closers in baseball in recent seasons, Romano should be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues.
