Jordan Romano, Erik Swanson Both Throw Thursday
7 months agoToronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (elbow) threw his second bullpen session on Thursday, while reliever Erik Swanson (forearm) threw a live batting practice session, and both went well, according to manager John Schneider. Next up for Romano is a live batting practice session, and if that goes well, he'll go right into minor-league rehab games. Both Romano and Swanson are progressing from injuries they picked up in spring training and could be activated from the injured list sooner than later. Romano has proven to be one of the best fantasy closers in baseball over the past several seasons and shouldn't be available on any waiver wires. Until he's able to return, Chad Green figures to be first in line for save opportunities in Toronto, although Yimi Garcia could also be involved in the ninth-inning picture.
