Romo collected his third save in Sunday's 4-2 win over Kansas City, striking out each of the three batters he faced in one inning of work.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins opted to use regular closer Taylor Rogers in the eighth inning, which left the ninth for Romo. The veteran right-hander was up to the task as he struck out Nicky Lopez and Hunter Dozier swinging before getting Jorge Soler looking to end the game. While Rogers figures to continue receiving the bulk of save opportunities, Sunday showed that manager Rocco Baldelli is not afraid to shuffle the back end of his bullpen. Given that Romo has gotten off to a strong start (2.25 ERA) while converting each of his three save opportunities, he could certainly see more chances to close games going forward.

Romo did not allow a baserunner and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Sunday against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Romo was called upon to close the game with Taylor Rogers likely unavailable after earning saves both Friday and Saturday. Romo proved up to the task, retiring three batters on 15 pitches. He now has two saves on the season, but he's clearly behind Rogers in the pecking order for saves.

Romo -- and not Taylor Rogers -- got the call in the ninth inning of Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Cardinals and got the job done to record his first save of the season, striking out one in a scoreless frame.

EDGE Analysis

The Cards were due to send up two right-handed hitters plus switch hitter Dexter Fowler in the ninth, which could explain why Romo was manager Rocco Baldelli's choice to get the team's first save chance of the season over Taylor. It's still a huge boost to the 37-year-old's fantasy value this year if he works in any kind of committee arrangement with Taylor at closer rather than being a setup man. Romo did record 20 saves in 2019, but 17 of them came with Miami before his trade to Minnesota in late July.

Romo (non-throwing shoulder) threw a scoreless inning with two strikeouts in Sunday's spring training tie against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Romo was limited early in spring training with a left shoulder strain, but it doesn't look like a worry for the regular season. The right-hander was effective after he was traded to the Twins in 2019, posting a 3.18 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 22.2 innings, and he figures to play a prominent role in the bullpen again.

Romo is dealing with a left shoulder strain that the team has described as minor. The right-hander was effective after he was traded to the Twins in 2019, posting a 3.18 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 22.2 innings, and he figures to play a prominent role in the bullpen again this season once he's healthy.

Romo is dealing with a left shoulder strain that will limit him for several days, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romo's injury doesn't sound too serious, but the Twins will exercise caution and limit his workload over the next few days to preserve his long-term health. The right-hander was effective after he was traded to the Twins in 2019, posting a 3.18 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 22.2 innings, and he figures to play a prominent role in the bullpen again this season once he's healthy.

Romo signed a one-year contract with the Twins on Monday, Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romo began his 2019 campaign with the Marlins, but he was dealt to the Twins near the trade deadline. He rewarded his new team by posting a 3.18 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with a 27:4 K:BB and three saves over 22.2 innings of work. With Taylor Rogers racking up 30 saves a year ago, Romo isn't expected to be the team's everyday closer, though he could see the occasional save opportunity while also handling mid-to-high-leverage situations in 2020.

Romo (knee) threw a scoreless eighth inning in Tuesday's win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Romo appeared to hurt his left knee walking off the mound at the end of his last outing on Saturday, but said after the game he was fine. The Twins will need him to stay healthy as he's become an important part of back end of the bullpen since coming over from the Marlins. Taylor Rogers has been the primary closer, but Romo has finished the 9th innings for saves based on matchups or when Rogers is unavailable.

EDGE Analysis

Romo wears a brace on his left knee as he apparently has some recurring issues, but he said after the game that he's OK. The veteran right-hander has thrown the past three contests, so he may be unavailable to pitch Sunday regardless.
