Romo has been scored upon in each of his last two appearances, so he now has a 3.12 ERA and 19/3 K/BB ratio over 17 1/3 innings. The Giants figures to play it safe with his workload, but he still has the chance to be one of the better fantasy closers. May 14 - 11:26 AM

Sergio Romo - R - Giants

Sergio Romo took his first blown save and loss after giving up two runs in two-thirds of an inning against the Cubs on Friday.

Romo gave up a homer to a left-hander (switch-hitter Dioner Navarro) for just the fourth time in his career. While this can likely just be chalked up to a bad day, the fact is that Romo isn't used to this kind of workload he's received the first two weeks. Today was his seventh inning of work in the Giants' 11th game. His career high for innings is 62, and he's thrown 48 and 55 the last two years.

Sergio Romo - R - Giants

Sergio Romo locked down his sixth save of the season Thursday against the Cubs.

Romo entered the game with a one-run lead and gave up a one-out double to David DeJesus, but he was able to strike out Starlin Castro swinging and set aside Anthony Rizzo looking to end it. The 30-year-old now has a 10/0 K/BB ratio over six scoreless innings this season. The Giants will likely give Romo rest when possible, but he has the potential to be one of the top closers in the game if healthy.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy would like to stay away from using Sergio Romo and Santiago Casilla on Wednesday.

Romo and Casilla have both pitched on back-to-back days. Bochy plans to check in with them before Wednesday's game, but he's hopeful to give them a break if possible. Jeremy Affeldt or Javier Lopez could be in the mix for a save chance if they are both unavailable.

Sergio Romo picked up his third save with a perfect ninth against the Cardinals on Friday.

The Giants will be careful with Romo, so some of their save chances will probably go to Santiago Casilla and Jeremy Affeldt. Still, Romo could be a top-notch fantasy reliever anyway with his exceptional ERA and WHIP.

Sergio Romo allowed two runs on three hits to blow a save chance in Mexico's loss to Italy during World Baseball Classic play Thursday.

Romo wasn't terribly sharp, but he didn't get much help from his defense. Left fielder Edgar Gonzalez, who has played mostly the infield during his career, misplayed two balls in the ninth, including Anthony Rizzo's go-ahead double. Romo will be the Giants' main closer this season, though manager Bruce Bochy has expressed a desire to keep his workload down.

Sergio Romo - R - Giants

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that while he expects Sergio Romo to get the majority of the save chances this season, he wants to be careful with his workload.

Romo staked his claim on the closer role down the stretch last year and into the postseason, but throwing the slider as often as he does can put a lot of strain on his arm. With that in mind, the Giants could give him the occasional day off, opening the door for other relievers to get save chances. Romo should be excellent when called upon, but be careful about counting on him as an elite closer option in fantasy leagues.

Giants avoided arbitration with RHP Sergio Romo by agreeing to a two-year, $9 million contract.

The two-year deal buys out his final two arbitration years. Romo has posted a 1.85 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 203/29 K/BB ratio over 165 1/3 innings during the last three seasons. He'll enter the 2013 campaign as the Giants' closer and has the upside to be elite from a fantasy perspective.

Sergio Romo requested $4.5 million and was offered $2.675 million by the Giants when arbitration figures were exchanged Friday.

Romo, who is arbitration-eligible for the second time, earned $1.575 million last season while posting a 1.79 ERA, 14 saves and a 63/10 K/BB ratio over 55 1/3 innings. His request isn't unreasonable, but settling around the midpoint of $3.59 million could be a decent compromise.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that while Sergio Romo is his closer, he plans "to give him some help."

That means Jeremy Affeldt, Javier Lopez and Santiago Casilla could be in line for some save opportunities, as well. Of course, all managers like to have a set closer, and Bochy might just be waiting for Romo to run away with the job. He's capable of doing so.

Sergio Romo got a two-out save for the Giants in a 5-2 win over the Braves on Thursday.

The Giants ended up using four pitchers in the ninth after Barry Zito gave up two quick singles in his bid for the shutout. Romo needed just four pitches to get his two outs, both coming on grounders. It was his sixth save of the year.

According to CSNBayArea.com's Andrew Baggarly, "there remains no plans" for Sergio Romo to move into the Giants' closer role.

The Giants have durability concerns with Romo, and aren't convinced he's been effective enough against left-handed hitters to earn to the promotion. For now, he'll continue to setup for Santiago Casilla. Though it's possible, if not likely, he could overtake the job in the second half.
