Fantasy Impact

The injury will put an end to the 2024 season for Romero. He posted a 3.36 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP in 65 games for the Cardinals this season.

JoJo Romero secured a save, allowing two hits in 1.1 scoreless innings as the Cardinals topped the Reds 6-1 on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not recording any strikeouts, Romero effectively managed the game to earn his first save of the season. His performance this season has been solid with a 2.65 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP over 62 appearances, although his high number of blown saves (8) might raise concerns. His ability to maintain a low ERA and WHIP, coupled with a decent K/9 rate, keeps him relevant in leagues that value holds and middle relief appearances, but fantasy managers should be wary of his inconsistency in save situations.

JoJo Romero worked around one run allowed to earn his second save of the season on Saturday against the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

Romero allowed one run, but still helped the Cardinals hold onto a 5-4 win. They still wait for Ryan Helsley to return from the injured list.
