Blue Jays shut down Jordan Romano following elbow discomfort

Closer Jordan Romano has been shut down indefinitely after experiencing elbow discomfort while throwing on Friday, per Blue Jays manager John Schneider.

Romano will visit Dr. Meister to evaluate the injury further and determine next steps according to Sportsnet’s Ben Nicholson-Smith.

The 2023 MLB All-Star was sent to the 15-day Injured List for the second time this season on May 30th after suffering inflammation in his right elbow.

Romano, 31, has only played in 13 innings of action in 2024, with injuries setting him back from replicating a stellar 2023 campaign that witnessed the Markham, Ont. native register a career-high 36 saves.

Through his brief time on the mound this season, Romano has pieced together eight saves in nine opportunities while buoying a 6.59 ERA.
