Romano is 1-2 with a 6.59 ERA this year. He has eight saves and struck out 13 batters in 13.2 innings. He has been an All-Star in each of the last two seasons.
As for Votto, there are no plans yet to call him into action as he recovers from an ankle injury suffered in spring training.
Joey Votto is still taking live at-bats and working on career progression. There is still no deadline for him to take action.

Released by the Cincinnati Reds this offseason, Votto is a six-time All-Star, MVP and Gold Glover winner. He is a career .294 hitter who has led the majors in on-base percentage in three different seasons. He signed a minor league contract with Toronto during spring training.
It’s starting to feel like if Votto plays for the Blue Jays this year, it will be nothing more than a feel-good story, and not because of his ability to help the team win. The Blue Jays are currently tied for last place in the division and if they end up selling at the trade deadline, Votto could end up being a way to keep fans interested, given that he grew up in Toronto and played for Canada in recent years. years.
