Romo pitched an inning, allowing a run and one hit in Friday's 6-2 extra-innings loss to the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Tasked with protecting a one-run lead, Romo allowed leadoff hitter Oscar Mercado to get aboard with a triple in the eighth inning. He scored on a Yasiel Puig sacrifice fly, sticking Romo with the blown save. The run snapped a streak of six straight scoreless appearances for the right-hander, who now has a 3.38 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in 16 innings since joining the Twins.

Romo gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning to record his 20th save of the season in Friday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was charged with a blown save Wednesday while working in the eighth inning, but Romo is now 3-for-3 in save chances for the Twins while handling the ninth. More importantly, Taylor Rogers was called upon in the eighth in this one, suggesting Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli is willing to play matchups at the end of games -- Texas sent three straight right-handed hitters to the plate to begin the ninth -- rather than treating Rogers as his sole closing option. Romo may well collect a handful more saves before the regular season is done.

Romo worked a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his 19th save of the season, and second as a Twin, in a 7-5 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor Rogers pitched both Saturday and Sunday, giving up a game-winning grand slam in the latter, so manager Rocco Baldelli turned to Romo instead in the ninth and the veteran right-hander came through. He now has a sharp 1.35 ERA, 0.30 WHIP and 6:0 K:BB in 6.2 innings since joining the Minnesota bullpen.

Romo gave up a hit and struck out two over 1.1 scoreless innings to record his 18th save of the season -- and first as a member of the Twins -- in Friday's 11-9 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor Rogers had pitched three straight days and was unavailable Friday, so Romo got the call after Sam Dyson coughed up three runs in the eighth inning to create the save situation. That usage suggests Romo would be ahead of Dyson in the closer pecking order should anything happen to Rogers, but for now both right-handers will have to settle for setup roles in Minnesota.

Romo, minor-league pitcher Chris Vallimont and a player to be named later were traded from the Marlins to the Twins for minor-league first baseman Lewin Diaz on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romo served as Miami's closer this season after inking a one-year deal, going 17-for-18 in save opportunities with a 3.58 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB across 37.2 innings. The 36-year-old figures to lose much of his fantasy appeal due to the move, since lefty Taylor Rogers seems likely to remain in the closer's role with his 2.27 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 59:8 K:BB. The Twins' late-inning plans could be altered further if the team makes another acquisition before Wednesday's trade deadline.

The Twins are nearing completion of a trade to acquire Romo from the Marlins on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romo inked a one-year deal with rebuilding Miami this offseason, so it's no surprise to see him about to be on the move with the trade deadline only a few days away. The veteran right-hander is 17-for-18 in save chances with a 3.58 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB though 37.2 innings. Romo's fantasy value seems likely to take a hit unless he manages to take over closing duties from left-hander Taylor Rogers, who has a 2.27 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 59:8 K:BB for the Twins.

Romo allowed two hits and struck out one through a scoreless ninth inning to record his 17th save in a 2-0 win over the White Sox on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Romo made it interesting as he allowed the tying run to reach base with one out but regrouped to nail down his 17th save of the season. The 36-year-old hasn't allowed a run through seven appearances in July. Romo has a 3.58 ERA with a 7.9 K/9 through 37.2 innings this season.

Romo allowed one hit and had one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning to secure the save Saturday in Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Romo hadn't pitched since last Saturday but didn't show much rust as he only allowed an infield single. The 36-year-old is 16-for-17 in save opportunities and has a 4.22 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB over 32 innings.

Romo struck out one in a perfect ninth inning to record the save in a 9-6 victory over the Phillies on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

His ERA is rather high for a closer, but Romo only has one blown save this season, and he's nailed down his last eight opportunities. He is 1-0 with 15 saves, 4.35 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 25 strikeouts in 31 innings this season.

Romo (knee) will be available out of the Marlins' bullpen Friday night, Craig Mish of FNTSY Sports Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romo was removed from Thursday's game after bruising his left knee in a collision with the Nationals' Trea Turner, but he is apparently no worse for the wear a day later. Romo was used in a non-save situation Thursday after not pitching at all the previous five days, but he figures to be utilized as the closer in Friday's contest.
