On July 29th, the\u00a0<\/span>Toronto Blue Jays<\/span><\/a>\u00a0had to place their ace closer,\u00a0<\/span>Jordan Romano,<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on the injured list due to lower back inflammation. But now, with his return to the lineup, can he be a game-changer for his team and help them remain in the playoff race? The Jays continue to battle with staying in the third wildcard spot as the\u00a0<\/span>Seattle Mariners<\/span><\/a> currently reside two games behind them. It’s always tough to lose your top players to injuries, but the Jays have done their best to salvage the lineup with the circumstances. It doesn’t also help that they lost their star hitter Bo Bichette<\/a>\u00a0to a knee injury. And they are still awaiting his return to the lineup.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Jordan Romano’s Return A Positive?<\/h2>\n
