Toronto Blue Jays' pitcher Jordan Romano has been shut down after experiencing discomfort in his right elbow during a throwing session. Manager John Schneider confirmed that Romano will undergo an evaluation by Dr. Keith Meister on July 2. Initial imaging has shown no structural damage, but the team will wait for an in-person assessment to determine the next steps. This development comes after Romano had been making progress in his recovery, with plans to throw off a mound soon. Romano had been throwing from 120 feet and was aiming for a return by the All-Star break. Meanwhile, Yimi Garcia, another key bullpen member, appears to be in good condition and continues his recovery process.

John Schneider told us that Jordan Romano felt discomfort in his right elbow after throwing yesterday, so he’s going to see Dr. Keith Meister on July 2. Imaging on Romano’s elbow is good, so #Bluejays will see what an in-person evaluation shows. Yimi Garcia seems fine.

Jordan Romano has been shut down after experiencing elbow discomfort while throwing yesterday per manager John Schneider. Romano will visit Dr. Meister with next steps determined from there.
Yimi Garcia & Jordan Romano both "got after it a little bit" in a throwing session from 120 feet today per mgr John Schneider. The thought is they'd ideally throw off a mound this wknd then build from there. If all goes well, return by All-Star break's on the table per Schneider.
Jordan Romano and Yimi Garcia playing catch - and throwing hard. Good news for a #Bluejays bullpen that badly needs them back, though they’re still likely a couple of weeks away. https://t.co/6ib2TQimXN
