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.

Only Josh Hader, Taylor Rogers, and Kenley Jansen had more saves entering play on Wednesday. With the Blue Jays owning a 36-25 record so far and a 15-8 record in one-run games, Romano should continue to see plenty of save situations as the season progresses. He has a very real shot at leading the league in saves at the end of the year.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano returned to action on Friday after being out for the majority of the past week with an illness. He pitched a clean ninth inning in the team's 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds to earn his 13th save of the year. He retired each of the three batters he faced and needed just 10 pitches to lock up the team's 21st victory of the year. Romano's 13 saves on the season have him ranked third in the majors behind only Taylor Rogers (15) and Josh Hader (14). The 29-year-old has a 2.87 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP over 17 total appearances on the year.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (illness) stated that he is "ready to go" if the team needs him in Friday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds. He says that he is feeling a lot better. The 29-year-old has been dealing with a gastrointestinal infection this past week and he has been unavailable since Monday. Adam Cimber converted two saves while Romano was out, but Romano will certainly be back in the closing role now. He has converted 12-of-14 save opportunities so far this year.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (illness) is dealing with a gastrointestinal infection, according to Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins. He is currently being treated by antibiotics. The belief is that he will be able to suit up again soon and that he won't require a trip to the injured list. Romano has been a gem for fantasy managers so far this year. He's already racked up 12 saves across 14 save opportunities while pitching to a 3.07 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. Adam Cimber has converted two saves this week with Romano out. He pitched two straight days so he'll likely be unavailable Wednesday, but he's clearly established himself as the next-in-line closer behind Romano.

Updating a previous report, Toronto Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said that closer Jordan Romano is day-to-day with a non-COVID-19 illness. Romano was unavailable to pitch in Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners, but he was seen in the bullpen and is not contagious. All of those fantasy managers that were bracing for the worst with the elite closer can now take a breath, as the 29-year-old right-hander could be available to close out games again as soon as Tuesday. Romano currently leads the league with 12 saves and has allowed only five earned runs on 13 hits while walking five and striking out 17 in 14 2/3 innings pitched as Toronto's ninth-inning guy. With Romano unavailable on Monday, Adam Cimber recorded his second save of the year in the 6-2 win over Seattle.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano was unavailable for Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners, Sportsnet reports. He's experiencing some sort of ailment which has yet to be specified. Romano will be evaluated further and is considered day-to-day at this point. The Canadian has been one of the top fantasy relievers so far in 2022, posting a 3.07 ERA, 27.9 K%, and 1.23 WHIP with 12 saves in 14 chances. With Romano out, expect right-hander Adam Cimber, the only other pitcher with a save this season, to act as the interim closer. Once Romano's back, he should be right back in that role.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano blew the save and took the loss in Tuesday's 6-5 game against the Yankees. Romano came in to pitch the ninth inning up by two. He struck the first hitter out, but then allowed back-to-back walks and gave up a three-run home run to Aaron Judge to end the game. Despite this, Romano has been a high-end fantasy closer overall this season, converting 12 of 14 save opportunities with a 3.29 ERA, 16 strikeouts, and five walks through 13 2/3 innings of work. Even the best of closers have an occasional poor outing, and fantasy managers should continue to have high confidence in him going forward.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano took over for starter Kevin Gausman in the ninth inning of Thursday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He had a bit of a rocky inning as he allowed one hit, one walk and one earned run, but he managed to maintain the team's lead and lock down his seventh save in as many opportunities. Romano now leads the majors in saves, pulling ahead of Josh Hader, who has six. Romano has a 1.29 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP over the seven innings he's pitched this year. If he can stay healthy and effective, he could very well wind up leading the majors in saves.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano recorded his MLB-leading sixth save on Sunday as he closed out the team's 4-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning in the game, allowing no hits and one walk. The 28-year-old has converted each of his six save opportunities this season and he has yet to allow a run over six innings. Romano had a breakout year with the Jays last year, recording 23 saves across 24 opportunities. He looks well on his way to turning in an elite closer season for fantasy managers in 2022.

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano earned his second save of the season in as many games, throwing a clean ninth inning to secure the 4-3 victory over the Texas Rangers. He now has two strikeouts and no walks while allowing no hits over two innings thus far. Romano came into this year as a virtual lock to be the club's closer after emerging as the ninth-inning guy later last season. In 2021 the right-hander pitched to a 2.14 ERA, 33.6 K%, and 1.05 WHIP in 62 games, adding 23 saves as well. It looks like fantasy managers who drafted Romano won't have to worry about a closer committee in Toronto and should expect another strong year from the native of Ontario.

Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano (ankle) said he had a "pretty encouraging" bullpen session on Friday in which he had full effort with normal velocity and movement. Romano plans to pitch in a minor league game on Sunday and a Grapefruit League game on Tuesday. "Then I'll be ready to go," Romano said. It doesn't look like the 28-year-old will miss Opening Day next week after dealing with a mild left ankle sprain, unless he suffers a setback in one of his next outings this spring. The right-hander had a nice 2.14 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 23 saves and 85 strikeouts in 63 relief innings in his third big-league season last year and will handle ninth-inning duties for one of the better teams in baseball in 2022. That puts him on the borderline of being a top-10 fantasy closer.

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Jordan Romano (ankle) has what manager Charlie Montoyo describes as a mild left ankle sprain, although the Blue Jays expect him to be ready for Opening Day next week. Romano sprained his ankle while walking his dog. It's something for fantasy managers to watch, but it shouldn't affect the 28-year-old fantasy status as the Blue Jays expected closer to begin the 2022 season. He converted 23 of his 24 save chances last year for Toronto while posting a solid 2.14 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 85 strikeouts and 25 walks in 63 relief innings. Romano is currently ranked by RotoBaller just inside the top-10 fantasy relievers at No. 9.

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano pitched a clean ninth inning on Sunday to close out his team's 5-3 victory against the Twins in the series finale. The right-hander's only blemish in his appearance was a two-out hit-by-pitch, but it was an otherwise easy 10-pitch frame to record his 19th save of the year. Romano picked up one strikeout on the afternoon to push his season total to 76 through 58 innings, and he also lowered his ERA to 2.33 and his WHIP to 1.03. It's been a solid statistical year for the 28-year-old in his second year as the Jays closer, since he's also notched seven wins with just one blown save. The only qualm fantasy managers may have is with his relatively low save total.
