Tommy Romero - Struck by liner WednesdayRomero was removed from his relief appearance in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta due to a right tricep contusion, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.ImpactRomero picked up the injury when he was struck in his pitching arm by a line drive. The 24-year-old appeared to be fine when he was checked out by the Rays' training staff, so his removal from the contest may have been precautionary more than anything else. Assuming the bruise doesn't provide too much pain in his subsequent throwing sessions, Romero should be ready to make regular starts for Triple-A Durham when the affiliate begins its season April 5.
