Overview

• Jordan Romano was placed on the 15-day injured list with right middle finger inflammation after allowing four runs in Monday’s 13-3 loss to the Mets.
• Joe Ross was released following the defeat, with the Phillies promoting Lou Trivino and recalling Daniel Robert from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
• Manager Rob Thomson said Romano has dealt with finger numbness that likely affected his grip and velocity, noting fluctuating radar readings throughout the year.
• Romano’s line sits at 8.23 ERA over 49 appearances with 10 homers allowed, a mark cited as the club’s worst for 40-plus innings since 1934; Ross posted a 5.12 ERA in 51 innings.
• Trivino arrives after seven scoreless innings at Triple A and a 4.42 MLB ERA this season, and Romano said he expects to pitch again this year, though his role remains uncertain.
