Strong reinforcements are back in Toronto. Following the return of firefighter Jordan Romano from the injured list, infielder Bo Bissett, who was out of power due to a knee injury, entered a rehabilitation game. Korean Monster Ryu Hyun-jin's two-win challenge turned on a blue light.
"Toronto returned closer Jordan Romano from the 15-day injured list and sent pitcher Nate Pearson to Triple-A Buffalo Bisons," Canadian media TSN said on the 16th.
Romano, who plays as Toronto's closer, has achieved 20 saves for the third consecutive year since 2021. He is cruising with 28 saves (2.79 ERA) this season.
The media said, "Romano has been unable to play since the 29th of last month due to back inflammation. The former All-Star firefighter has 28 saves this season, maintaining his third place in the American League, and tied for fifth place in the entire Major League, he said.
"Toronto recruited Jordan Hicks from the St. Louis Cardinals ahead of the trade deadline with Romano missing due to a back injury," he added.
The return of Bissett, who plays a key role in offense and defense, is also imminent. "Bobissett, who plays as Toronto's main shortstop, will be a designated hitter in the Triple-A rehabilitation game on the 16th," adding, "If everything goes well, he is expected to return to the big league ahead of the game against the Cincinnati Reds this weekend."
The media continued, "Bissett is batting .321 with 17 home runs and 59 RBIs in 106 games before being on the 10-day injured list due to tendinitis in his knee. "I was selected as the second All-Star in my career," he said. In addition, injured players such as Chad Green (pitcher) and Kevin Kiermeyer (outfielder) are also on the verge of returning.
Ryu Hyun-jin started the home game against the Chicago Cubs on the 14th and succeeded in winning his first game of the season with two hits, two walks, three strikeouts and two runs (non-self-employed) in five innings. As a result, he added a multiplier in 444 days since the LA Angels match on May 27 last year. 스포츠토토
Ryu's total number of pitches on the day was 86. His highest speed was 146.6 kilometers, the fastest this season. He threw a proper mix of changeups, cut fastballs, and curves. Ryu Hyun-jin will start hunting for two wins against the Cincinnati Reds on the 20th in the order of taking the mound. Firefighter Romano and key member of offense and defense, Vissette, are expected to serve as Ryu Hyun-jin's reliable victory helper.
