Tommy Romero

The Cubs signed Tommy Romero to a minor league contract.

Fantasy Impact

Romero previously spent time in the Rays organization. He will add pitching depth towards the upper part of the Cubs minor league system.

Tommy Romero struggled through 3 2/3 innings on the mound for the Nationals in the second game of a doubleheader Saturday, allowing eight runs on eight hits while also walking four and striking out two in the Nationals' 8-2 loss to the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

Romero struggled with command and control Saturday, throwing just 61.5% of his pitches for strikes and allowing a .421 opponents' batting average. The 25-year-old carries a 2.40 WHIP and 10.80 ERA with seven strikeouts in four appearances this season.

Tommy Romero has been called up by the Nationals to start game two of a doubleheader.

Fantasy Impact

Romero was claimed by the Nationals from the Rays in August and will get his first start with the Nationals. Despite being shaky in three appearances in Tampa Bay, Romero has a 3.24 ERA in 86 Triple-A innings between Tampa and Washinton's organizations.

Rays reliever Tommy Romero tossed a scoreless seventh inning against the Red Sox on Thursday evening. He struck out one batter, throwing a total of 10 strikes and just two balls during his outing. The right-hander earned the win as Tampa Bay ultimately defeated Boston by a score of 5-4, completing a four-game sweep.

Fantasy Impact

Romero was recalled from Triple-A on Thursday after spending the last three-plus months in the minors. He allowed four runs through 3 2/3 MLB innings earlier in the season but provided a clutch option out of the bullpen on Thursday.

Tommy Romero allowed three runs on two hits and five walks over 1 2/3 innings on Tuesday against the A's. He struck out one and did not factor into the decision.

Fantasy Impact

Romero was making his big league debut on Tuesday, so he can be forgiven for having a few butterflies and struggling with his control. Romero has four good pitches but no "great" ones, and it's unclear if he'll remain with the Rays for long. He's not currently worth any fantasy consideration, but he could find his way into being a streamer if everything breaks right. Given the Rays' injuries to their staff, he'll likely get at least one more shot next week against the White Sox.
