• Red Sox's Mikey Romero: Climbs to Double-A

  09/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Romero is hitting .243 with six home runs, 25 strikeouts and two walks in 16 games with Double-A Portland. Romero went on an absolute tear for High-A Greenville in the middle of the summer, slashing .345/.398/.673 with eight home runs in 27 games from July 10 through Aug. 25, which earned him a promotion to Double-A on Aug. 27. The 20-year-old shortstop appears to be a little overmatched against Double-A pitching, but he's still gotten to significant power, and he's ahead of schedule relative to his peers. A first-round pick in 2022, Romero has already more than doubled his career games played total this year, as he has missed significant time with lower-back issues, and he even missed time earlier this year with more back trouble.

  Romero (back) has gone 7-for-27 (.259 average) with three extra-base hits and one walk in six games since being reinstated from High-A Greenville's 7-day injured list May 14. Romero opened the season on the IL while completing his rehab for the lower-back injuries that cost him time during the 2023 campaign. He began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on May 7 and played in three games before getting the green light to rejoin Greenville.

  Romero is on the injured list at High-A Greenville as he continues his rehabilitation from lower-back issues that cost him time in 2023, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports. Romero shouldn't miss too much time, according to Callis. A first-round pick in 2022, Romero struggled at all three stops last year and would likely spend most, if not all, of his age-20 season at High-A once healthy.

• Red Sox's Mikey Romero: Back on IL with back strain

  08/29/2023 • By RotoWire

  High-A Greenville placed Romero on its 7-day injured list Aug. 19 with a lower-back strain, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports. Romero had just been promoted from Single-A Salem on Aug. 15 before suffering the injury in his third game with Greenville on Aug. 17, when his back appeared to seize up on him as he made a throw across the diamond. The shortstop previously missed the first two and a half months of the season with a back injury and could be headed for an extended absence again, though Speier relays that the 19-year-old is expected to avoid surgery. Romero has compiled a .214/.294/.286 slash line with no home runs and two stolen bases over 34 games between three different levels in 2023.
