JoJo Romero Throws Live BPFebruary 21, 2025 | 04:56 PM

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher JoJo Romero (forearm) threw live batting practice earlier this week. Romero ended the 2024 campaign on the injured list with right forearm inflammation. However, seeing him already facing live hitters suggests he is past the injury and a full-go for spring training. Romero enjoyed a strong 2024 campaign, holding a 3.36 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP across 59 innings. He tallied 51 punchouts and showed strong command as he allowed walks at a 6.6 percent rate. Romero was very valuable in holds leagues as he tallied 30 holds, operating as the setup man for closer Ryan Helsley. Fantasy managers should expect the 28-year-old to continue operating in this role during the 2025 campaign, making him a strong target in holds leagues.
