C&D said tonight, during an injury summary, that the pitcher who used to be Seth Romero is out with a calf-strain. How long should he be on DL?
LHP Seth Romero (left calf strain)Expected return: First half of seasonRomero was sidelined by a stiff back during Spring Training. On April 7, he was recalled and placed on the 60-day IL because of a left calf strain. A first-round pick in the 2017 MLB Draft by Washington, Romero has appeared in three games on the Major League level, most recently in ‘20. -- Jessica Camerato (Last updated: April 7)
he's on the 60 day IL since the start of the year.https://www.mlb.com/nationals/news/nationals-injuries-and-roster-movesInteresting that there's basically been nothing new since 4/7.
Reportedly starting in the FCL today..
Done after 2 innings. 5 strikeouts, 1 hit. September call up?
May as well
is he on the long roster?
Dunno, name is pretty short
Romero, 26, made three relief appearances during the 2020 season but has struggled to stay healthy and avoid trouble off the field for his career. He suffered a rib injury in 2021 and was arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated in January. Even before drafting him, the Nationals had to weigh repeated off-the-field issues from his time at the University of Houston. Martinez still believes that Romero can contribute.“At this point, it’s up to him,” Martinez said. “As you know, I don’t tolerate a whole lot of things off the field. He’s got to do the right things off the field as well as perform on the field. Only time will tell. He’s still fairly young, which is good. It all just depends on how Seth wants to move forward.”
1⅓ IP, 1H, 2R, 2ER, 4BB, 4K, HR, BK, WP last night.Got some work to do on his command.
Just a bit. I am assuming they will drop him from the 40-man roster if he does not improve quickly? Or is he still too young?
Why would they? Not like there is a roster crunch
Because time to give up on him?
Again, why? He isnt blocking anyone. He's a lefty that throws mid 90s with a plus breaking pitch
there's no reason to cut him loose at this point. Let him keep pitching this year and see where he's at in training camp next year.
