Spencer Strider used the same doctor\u00a0to analyze his injury and discuss his action plan\u00a0regarding this setback. On June 1st, Romano went on the 15-day IL because of right elbow inflammation. Two days later, he was given an injection in his pitching elbow. It was similar to the one he got during Spring Training before going on the IL before the 2024 season started. It&#8217;s continuing to look like a nightmare for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/06\/28\/blue-jays-bo-bichette-trade-rumors\/\" target=\"_self\">Blue Jays<\/a> this season. They have been unable to figure things out consistently and got blown out by the New York Yankees on June 28th by a score of 16-5. This also hurts the Blue Jays, placing a trade chip in an unfavorable position.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/06\/17\/cubs-injuries-inconsistencies-mount\/\" target=\"_self\">injury<\/a> train continues this season as pitchers are taking a brutal hit by injuries, and it isn&#8217;t doing their clubhouses any favors.

Unfortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/06\/17\/blue-jays-reliever-yimi-garcia-il\/\" target=\"_self\">Garcia is on the IL<\/a> as well. Garcia is also experiencing an elbow injury. Elbow injuries have been the most famous injury for pitchers this season. Blue Jays pitching has given up an astronomical amount of home runs. Blue Jays took matters into their own hands and DFA&#8217;d struggling pitcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/mayzati01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-29_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tim Mayza<\/a>, sporting an 8.03 ERA.

We are still waiting to hear more news regarding Romano&#8217;s injury, but it looks bad. It wouldn&#8217;t be surprising if Romano had to undergo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/j\/johnto01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-06-29_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tommy John<\/a>. It&#8217;s an unfortunate downfall for the 31-year-old who was coming off of a 2.90 ERA last season.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credits: <em>Brian Bradshaw Sevald-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano is nowhere near returning to the Team.
