X-rays negative after save Romano was diagnosed with a right rib contusion after picking up a save Saturday against the Rays, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports. He allowed three hits and struck out two...

Impact X-rays returned negative. The right-hander was struck in the rib during Saturday's appearance against Tampa Bay on a liner off the bat from Wander Franco, and while he was able to make the play he looked to be in significant pain after making the throw over to first base. The good news is there's no structural damage but there is a good chance that Romano may need to sit out a game or two while recovering from the rib bruise.

Gets fifth save Romano struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday against the Rays to pick up the save.

Impact This was Romano's fifth save of the campaign, and he has either logged a save or a win in all seven of his appearances. He gave up three earned runs in one outing, but for the most part Romano has appeared to be in complete control of the ninth-inning role in Toronto.

Collects extra-inning win Romano (2-0) picked up the win Wednesday, walking one in a scoreless 10th inning during a victory over the Tigers.

Impact The closer needed 18 pitches (12 strikes) to keep the game tied at 3-3 in the top of the 10th, before the Blue Jays walked it off in the bottom of the frame. Romano has four saves in addition to his two wins, recording one or the other in each of his first six appearances, with a 7:3 K:BB through six innings.

Nabs win after blown save Romano (1-0) earned the win and was charged with a blown save Sunday against the Angels. He gave up three runs on two hits with three strikeouts and two walks across one inning.

Impact The right-hander allowed just one baserunner in his first four outings of the season, but he struggled with his command Sunday and was unable to maintain a three-run advantage. Romano picked up the win since the Blue Jays went ahead for good in the 10th inning, so fantasy managers were able to get something out of the rough performance. The 29-year-old has converted four of five save chances and has a 5.40 ERA and 7:2 K:BB across his first five frames of 2023.

Picks up fourth save Romano picked up the save Friday against the Angels without allowing a run or a hit.

Impact While Romano didn't issue a strikeout, that's mostly because the Angels were aggressive and forced the right-hander to throw just six pitches -- five of those for strikes. He is now up to four saves on the young year, and he hasn't allowed an earned run in any of his appearances.

Impact Alek Manoah gave Toronto seven scoreless innings, and Eric Swanson put up another zero in the eighth. The Blue Jays then turned to Romano, who completed the combined shutout and picked up his third save of the campaign with a scoreless frame. The closer is tied with David Bednar for the MLB lead in saves, and he's allowed just one hit while posting a 4:0 K:BB over three innings so far this season.

Looks ready for Opening Day Romano struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning during Friday's split-squad game against the Phillies.

Impact It's a bit odd to see a closer actually work the ninth in a meaningless Grapefruit League game, when the opposition's big-league hitters have generally already hit the showers, but Romano still carved up the minor-league batters he got to face. The right-hander has a 9:2 K:BB through 5.2 spring innings and looks more than ready for the regular season to begin. After recording 59 saves over the last two years with a 2.13 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 11.20 K/9, Romano heads into 2023 as one of the most reliable closing options available to fantasy managers.
