The Brewers signed Rom (undisclosed) to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rom missed the entire 2024 season following left shoulder surgery and in 2025 made his last appearance with Triple-A Memphis in the Cardinals organization on June 5 due to an undisclosed injury. It's unclear what his current health is, but the Brewers felt good enough about his status to invite him to spring training. Rom will likely begin the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Nashville.

Rom was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Memphis on Monday with an undisclosed injury.
EDGE Analysis
Rom began the season on the IL as he worked his way back from left shoulder surgery. It's not clear whether he's encountered a setback with the shoulder or is dealing with a new issue. Rom allowed six runs over just 2.2 innings in his last start with Memphis.

Rom (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Rom made a rehab start with Memphis on Sunday, tossing four scoreless innings with a 4:2 K:BB. Coming back from soreness in his surgically repaired left shoulder/biceps, Rom yielded only two runs (one earned) with a promising 17:2 K:BB across 13 rehab innings. He'll give St. Louis rotation depth at Memphis.

Rom (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Palm Beach earlier this month and will be moved up to Triple-A Memphis for a start Sunday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rom missed the entire 2024 season with left biceps tendinitis which eventually required surgery, and he experienced a setback in February when he felt shoulder discomfort. The southpaw allowed just two runs (one earned) with a 13:0 K:BB over nine innings in three rehab outings with Palm Beach. Rom is no longer on the Cardinals' 40-man roster, but, if healthy, he could give the organization some much-needed rotation depth for a Memphis team that's dealt with its fair share of injuries.

Rom has been shut down from throwing after feeling soreness in his surgically repaired left shoulder during a recent bullpen session, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rom had been considered fully recovered from the arthroscopic surgery he had last May but has now encountered a setback. He'll rest for a few days after being given a PRP injection before a decision is made regarding when he can resume throwing. Rom was removed from the Cardinals' 40-man roster earlier in the offseason but is in camp as a non-roster invitee.

Rom (shoulder) cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Cardinals added some prospects to the 40-man roster as Rule 5 draft protection, so Rom was a roster casualty. He had arthroscopic shoulder surgery in May and did not pitch at all in 2024. If he's healthy this spring, he should provide rotation depth at Triple-A.

Rom underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder last week, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
It sounds as though the operation wound up being less invasive than initially anticipated, with a return before the end of the season for Rom not totally ruled out. The left-hander had been plagued by shoulder issues since mid-March before finally opting for surgery.

Rom is expected to undergo left shoulder surgery, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The exact nature of the operation isn't known yet, but surgery was recommended after Rom met with Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas on Tuesday. The surgery presumably would end Rom's 2024 season before it begins, but more information on a timeline should be known after the procedure.

The Cardinals transferred Rom (biceps) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis

Rom (biceps) will be examined by Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas on Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rom hasn't done any throwing since late March after being diagnosed with left biceps tendinitis and has not responded well to plyometric exercises. The Cardinals are hoping to get a clearer picture on Rom's status following Tuesday's visit.
