White Sox's Drew Romo: Idle Saturday
Rotowire
Romo is not in the White Sox's starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday.
Though his playing time is trending back up after Kyle Teel (ankle) moved back to the injured list Tuesday, Romo is still likely to be part of a timeshare behind the plate with Edgar Quero, who receives the starting nod at catcher Saturday. The 24-year-old Romo has produced a .515 OPS with five home runs, one steal, 11 RBI and nine runs across 134 plate appearances this season.

White Sox's Drew Romo: Set for reduction in playing time
Rotowire
Romo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
Though the White Sox kept him on the big-league roster and optioned Edgar Quero to Triple-A Charlotte to make room for Kyle Teel's (hamstring/knee) return from the 60-day injured list, Romo will be headed for a reduction in playing time while Teel settles back in as Chicago's clear No. 1 catcher. Romo produced an .857 OPS in his first month with the White Sox after receiving a promotion from Triple-A on April 25, but he's fallen off badly since the start of June, slashing .071/.100/.107 with a 29 percent strikeout rate in 31 plate appearances.

White Sox's Drew Romo: Fading into timeshare
Rotowire
Romo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
Romo had been serving as the White Sox's No. 1 catcher for much of May, but he appears to have since fallen into more of a timeshare with Edgar Quero. The White Sox will go with Quero behind the dish Monday for the fourth time in six games, with two of those starts coming against left-handers and two coming versus righties. Romo's downturn in playing time comes while he's hit just .171 with a 27.8 percent strikeout rate over his last 10 contests.

Rotowire
Romo went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Angels.
After the White Sox DFA'd Reese McGuire last weekend, Romo was the one to get the call while Kyle Teel continues to rehab his hamstring.

White Sox's Drew Romo: Receives outright assignment
Rotowire
Romo cleared waivers Friday and has been outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte while receiving a non-roster invite to spring training, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Romo was designated for assignment Sunday, and after clearing waivers, he'll remain within the organization. The 24-year-old catcher will join the White Sox at spring training as a non-roster invitee. Romo spent most of the 2025 season with the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate in Albuquerque, where he slashed .264/329/.409 with seven homers, 23 RBI, 28 runs scored and two stolen bases across 244 plate appearances.

Rotowire
The White Sox designated Romo for assignment Sunday.
The 24-year-old catcher was claimed off waivers by Chicago in early January and will now go through the waiver process once again.

Mets' Drew Romo: Claimed off waivers by Mets
Rotowire
The Mets claimed Romo off waivers from the Orioles on Wednesday.
Romo has bounced around from the Rockies to the Orioles and now the Mets this month. The switch-hitting catcher is just 9-for-54 at the plate during his brief time in the majors. With Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens slated to open 2026 as the Mets' catching duo, Romo is likely to begin the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Syracuse.

Orioles' Drew Romo: Headed to Baltimore
Rotowire
The Orioles claimed Romo off waivers from the Rockies on Friday.
It wasn't that long ago that Romo looked like the Rockies' catcher of the future, but his progress stalled and Hunter Goodman emerged, leading Colorado to expose him to waivers. Romo is 9-for-54 at the plate during his brief time in the majors and slashed only .264/.329/.409 across 60 games in 2025 while playing his home games at hitter-friendly Triple-A Albuquerque. The Orioles already have Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo at the big-league level, so Romo will likely begin 2026 at Triple-A Norfolk, unless the club elects to carry three catchers.

Rockies' Drew Romo: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Romo to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Romo went 0-for-3 at the plate while serving as the Rockies' third catcher, and the return of Warming Bernabel (concussion) from the IL will now push the former back to the minor leagues. The 24-year-old backstop has slashed .264/.329/.409 across 244 plate appearances at Albuquerque and will most likely remain there for the rest of the year.

Rockies' Drew Romo: Back in action for Triple-A club
Rotowire
Triple-A Albuquerque reinstated Romo (finger) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Romo didn't play Tuesday in Albuquerque's 7-6 loss to Reno, but the 23-year-old backstop is healthy again after a finger injury sidelined him for the first seven weeks of the season. He was cleared to report to Albuquerque after going 3-for-16 with a walk, a stolen base, two runs and an RBI over five rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Rockies' Drew Romo: Likely to start in Triple-A
Rotowire
Romo is likely to begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Albuquerque, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
Manager Bud Black has praised Romo this spring for his improvement in blocking skills and in managing a game. However, Saunders suggests that the Rockies will opt to keep Hunter Goodman on the Opening Day roster thanks to his superior skills as a hitter. Even if Romo begins the season in the minors, there's a strong chance he'll be in Colorado at some point in 2025.

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.
