Cole is scheduled to pitch on Sunday as the Yankees close out their series against the Boston Red Sox, thus ruling him out of pitching in the All-Star Game.
Romano, from Markham, Ont., has accumulated 37 strikeouts and 19 saves in 34 games for the Blue Jays this season.
He will join Blue Jays teammates Alejandro Kirk, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Santiago Espinal and Alek Manoah at the All-Star Game. George Springer was also named to the American League roster but will not be attending.
Watch the MLB All-Star Game live Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on Sportsnet or Sportsnet NOW.
