The St. Louis Cardinals are preparing for unexpected roster movements in their upcoming overseas travel against the Chicago Cubs this weekend with a taxi squad.
Why Hicks couldn’t go to the minors and why Romero may have been called up I don’t really have a good idea for a full post, but I have two separate, loosely connected ideas for a post.
The Cardinals have made several roster moves, per their transactions tracker at MLB.com. Infielder Taylor Motter has been selected to the club’s 40-man roster, while infielder/outfielder Juan Yepez and lefties Génesis Cabrera and JoJo Romero were optioned to the minors.
In Spring Training the Cardinals left-handed relief core looked strong. Now it’s filled with guys who weren’t even on the team last year. We are currently living in a world where JoJo Romero might be the St.
The Cards announced the following transaction in advance of tonight’s game against the Diamondbacks: 8/12/22: Released LHP T.J. McFarland 8/19/22: Placed RHP Ryan Helsley on the Paternity Leave List.
With just days remaining until the August 2nd Trade Deadline, the Philadelphia Phillies have finally made a move. Just not a big one. The Phillies have been reported to have acquired Edmundo Sosa from the St.
It ain’t much, but it’s a start You wanted a trade, you got a trade. Certainly an interesting deal as both of these teams are battling to grab one of the last spots in the National League playoff picture.
The Philadelphia Phillies completed a minor trade Saturday afternoon, and did so with one of the teams they are competing for a National League Wild Card spot with.
The Cards and Phillies enter play Saturday tied for the final wild-card spot in the National League.
Get out your Red Bulls and 80s hair metal wigs, because Philadelphia's favorite lefty relief wildcard is back... so is the the Philadelphia Phillies most effective reliever since 2020 too.
READING — Red Bull cans, beware. JoJo Romero may be on the path back to the majors. After missing over a year recovering from Tommy John surgery, the left-hander — who went viral in 2020 for smashing energy-drink containers on his forearm before entering games — is getting back on track in a minor-league rehab assignment.
The Philadelphia Phillies announced that left-handed pitcher Jojo Romero will begin a rehab assignment with the Phillies Florida Complex League team. The RedBull can-crushing Romero hasn't pitched since 2021, where he posted an 7.00 ERA across nine frames of work.
Phillies left-handed reliever JoJo Romero underwent Tommy John surgery on May 25, 2021. The typical recovery timeline is 12-18 months and it appears Romero is slated to fall on the shorter end of it.
What could have this season been without Jojo Romero’s injury? We’ll never know. The 2021 Phillies bullpen was slightly better than its 2020 counterpart, but one of the things this team desperately needed was a reliable reliever who could come in and stop bleeding.
The 24-year-old Romero hasn’t yet had much success at the big league level yet, surrendering 16 earned runs on 25 hits and six walks with 18 punchouts in 25 2/3 innings.
