Canadian closer Jordan Romano among 4 Blue Jays set to start season on injured list

The Blue Jays placed closer Jordan Romano on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right elbow inflammation, one of four Toronto players to start the 2024 regular season on the IL.

The team announced its 26-man active roster ahead of the season opener at Tampa Bay and also confirmed that right-handers Alek Manoah (shoulder) and Erik Swanson (forearm) were added to the 15-day injured list.

Catcher Danny Jansen was placed on the 10-day list with a right wrist fracture. All placements were retroactive to Monday.

Designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach and backup catcher Brian Serven were selected to the big-league roster and right-hander Yosver Zulueta was designated for assignment.

Right-hander Jose Berrios was scheduled to start for Toronto in the late-afternoon opener against Rays right-hander Zach Eflin at Tropicana Field.
