Short answer: Yes.
They could deny without additional steps under the old policy, however CLI (Command List Integration) was rescinded when MLI was implemented.
The commander CAN deny the promotion, but according to HRC they "must use the existing bar to continued service (IMREPR code 9K) process (with proper counseling) to identify them as having low or no potential for continued service or leadership and disqualifying them for MLI".
Additional information is in Army Directive 2017-28 (Sergeant and Staff Sergeant Promotion Recommended List), para 3c*

The bottom line, Commander has to approve all promotions period, nothing is automatic. The SM needs to ask why?
