The Toronto Blue Jays placed closer Jordan Romano on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right elbow inflammation.
Left-hander Brendon Little was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to replace the right-handed Romano, who last pitched on Wednesday while picking up the save in Toronto’s 3-1 win over the Chicago White Sox. The move for Romano is retroactive to Thursday.
Romano, 31, is 1-2 with eight saves in nine chances and a 6.59 ERA in 15 relief appearances this season.
A two-time All-Star, Romano is 20-17 with 105 saves and a 2.90 ERA in 231 career relief appearances with the Blue Jays.
Little, 27, has a 10.80 ERA without a decision in three relief appearances this season for Toronto. He is 0-2 with a 4.15 ERA in 16 relief appearances with Buffalo in 2024.
