Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano will be sidelined for at least six weeks due to a finger injury, as reported by Globalnews.ca. The right-handed pitcher suffered the injury during a recent game, forcing him to be placed on the injured list.
Romano has been a key player for the Blue Jays this season, recording 10 saves and a 1.23 ERA in 29 appearances. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by the team as they continue their push for a playoff spot.
The injury comes at a crucial time for the Blue Jays, who are currently battling for a wild card spot in the highly competitive American League East. Romano’s presence in the bullpen has been a major factor in the team’s success this season, and his absence will put added pressure on the rest of the pitching staff to step up in his absence.
In the meantime, the Blue Jays will have to rely on other relievers to fill the void left by Romano’s injury. Manager Charlie Montoyo will likely turn to a closer-by-committee approach, with pitchers like Adam Cimber and Tim Mayza expected to take on more prominent roles in the bullpen.
Despite the setback, the Blue Jays remain optimistic about Romano’s recovery and are hopeful that he will be able to return to action before the end of the regular season. In the meantime, fans will have to wait and see how the team adjusts to life without their star closer.
