TORONTO (AP) 鈥� The Toronto Blue Jays put All-Star closer Jordan Romano on the 15-day injured list Saturday because of a sore right elbow and recalled left-hander Brendon Little from Triple-A Buffalo.
Romano鈥檚 stint on the IL is retroactive to Thursday. The right-hander wasn鈥檛 available in Friday鈥檚 because he was still sore from Wednesday鈥檚 save against the White Sox, his eighth in nine chances.
Romano missed part of spring training and the first 17 games of the season because of elbow soreness.
He had an MRI on Friday. Manager John Schneider said Romano has no structural damage, adding that the two-time All-Star will be shut down for several days.
Schneider said right-handers Yimi Garc铆a and Chad Green will share closing duties while Romano is sidelined.
Romano鈥檚 injury comes one day after Toronto put 2022 Cy Young finalist Alek Manaoh on the 15-day IL because of a sprained elbow.
