JoJo Romero | Fantasy Outlook

JoJo Romero sidelined on the injured list with appendicitis

JoJo Romero has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to appendicitis and has not pitched recently, missing action for a Cardinals squad currently sitting in fourth place in the NL Central with a 53-52 record. Despite his absence, he remains a key setup option out of the bullpen behind closer Riley O'Brien, holding 20 holds over his 44 appearances this season.

His 2026 campaign has featured a 4.08 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP across 35.3 innings, alongside 43 strikeouts. While his strikeout rate remains strong, his ratios are running higher than his career norms and our season projection of a 3.66 ERA and 1.30 WHIP, meaning fantasy managers should expect some stabilization upon his return.

Romero remains sidelined and will miss all upcoming games this week as St. Louis faces the Chicago Cubs and Toronto Blue Jays. With no immediate appearances on the horizon, fantasy managers should keep him stashed on the injured list or bench him until he is cleared to return. Hold.
