Rockies' Drew Romo: Struggling to find playing time
Rotowire
Romo is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.
Romo has now picked up just two starts in the Rockies' last seven games. With Jacob Stallings and Hunter Goodman also on hand as options at catcher, Romo is unlikely to see steady enough playing time over the final two weeks of the season to make for a reliable fantasy option, even in NL-only leagues.

Romo didn't start the Rockies' first game after being called up last Friday, but he's now been in the lineup for three of four contests since then and tallied his first major-league hit in Tuesday's game.

Rockies' Drew Romo: Tallies first career hit
Rotowire
Romo went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts Tuesday against the Nationals.
Romo was called up to make his big-league debut Friday and has since made two starts. He collected his first big-league hit Tuesday, and notably he was caught stealing. Romo had only three stolen bases with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to being recalled, but he showed an ability to steal bases in the lower levels of the minors. If he reintroduces stolen bases to his game at the big-league level, he could be an intriguing option in deeper leagues down the stretch.

Rockies' Drew Romo: Poised for big-league promotion
Rotowire
The Rockies are expected to call up Romo from Triple-A Albuquerque prior to Friday's game against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Romo, who turns 23 later this month, has slashed .297/.339/.499 with 14 home runs and three stolen bases over 85 games this season with Albuquerque. With Elias Diaz expected to be released, the switch-hitting Romo will at least share catching duties with Jacob Stallings and could receive the bulk of the reps behind the plate.

Rockies' Drew Romo: Reassigned to minor-league camp
Rotowire
Romo was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Rockies camp.
Romo, the 35th overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft out of a high school in Texas, batted just .254/.321/.372 with five home runs over 102 games last season at High-A Spokane. He is only 21 years old and there's a lot to like in his long-term fantasy outlook as a catcher with good speed.

Rockies' Drew Romo: Hot start in Spokane
Rotowire
Romo is hitting .347/.390/.514 with two home runs, 14 RBI and 14 runs scored across 82 plate appearances with High-A Spokane to begin the 2022 season.
Romo's primary draw as a prospect is his defensive ability. His upside with the bat has been less clear, with particular concern about his hit tool. However, he's struck out at just a 15.9 percent clip to begin the season at Spokane, and he maintained a similar mark with Single-A Fresno last year. Romo will get more of a test once he advances to the upper levels of the minors, but his .401 wOBA and 154 wRC+ are positive indicators for the time being.
