Romo doesn't appear to be a primary candidate for closing duties during the prolonged absence of Trevor Rosenthal (shoulder), Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Instead, manager Bob Melvin mentioned Lou Trivino as a possible top option for ninth-inning duties in the wake of the news Rosenthal will miss multiple months after undergoing surgery. While Trivino has allowed one earned run over 5.2 innings across four appearances to start the season, Romo has given up a run in back-to-back outings and issued a walk in all three of his trips to the mound thus far. Although he apparently won't be the primary candidate for the job, Romo's 134 career saves and experience in high-leverage scenarios could well earn him occasional ninth-inning opportunities on days when Trivino or left-hander Jake Diekman is unavailable.
