TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays’ pitching staff was dealt another blow Saturday when closer Jordan Romano was placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation.

Manager John Schneider said the decision was made after Romano’s MRI exam Friday night.

“There’s no structural injury,” he said before Saturday’s matinee against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates. “It’s just inflammation so he’ll be down from throwing for a couple days and then we’ll go from there.”
