Rogers simply could not keep the ball in the yard here. Giancarlo Stanton took him deep for a two-run shot in the first and then Aaron Judge and Stanton again did so in the third. Those were the only hits he’d give up, but it was still enough to chase him after three innings. He hadn’t allowed a long ball since all the way back on August 30th and it’s a shame that his resurgent season ended with a poor start like this one. Still, he turned in a beautiful 1.81 ERA with a 10-_ record and 103 strikeouts over 109 2/3 innings as one of the most surprising pitchers this year.

Rogers struck out seven and walked none in his latest gem. In 17 starts this season, he’s allowed no earned runs five times, one earned run eight times, two earned runs three times and three earned runs once. Add it all up and it amounts to a 1.35 ERA to go along with a 9-2 record. He’s due to face the Yankees again next Friday.

Rogers was lifted after five innings against the Blue Jays on Friday night due to a blood blister under the nail on his left big toe. It’s an issue that he has dealt with in the past and believes that he can manage, though it bothered him more than usual during Friday’s start. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status over the next couple of days, but it sounds like he may not need to miss a start.

Rogers had allowed just one unearned run on three hits and four walks while striking out six batters over his five innings of work before exiting. That’s the reason he was lifted after only 79 pitches. He’ll head for further evaluation. It’s unclear at the moment whether or not it will impact the 27-year-old southpaw’s ability to make his next scheduled start.

Rogers allowed more than one run for the first time in eight starts and failed to complete six innings for the first time in 11 starts, yet he was still pretty good; he struck out six and got 16 whiffs. Both runs followed leadoff doubles from Miguel Rojas. He’s due to face the Blue Jays next weekend.

Remember when people were laughing about the Orioles giving up quality prospects to get Rogers? That was adorable. The southpaw allowed just five hits, struck out five and walked no one. This makes four straight starts that Rogers has worked at least seven innings, and he hasn’t allowed more than one run in a start since July 20. Crazy. Rogers takes a 1.39 ERA into a start scheduled for Saturday against the Dodgers.

Even with his fastball down by 1.1 mph and his changeup 1.7 mph off its season average, Rogers turned in one of his best performances to date. It’s the fifth straight start in which he’s allowed exactly one run. Before that, he allowed one hit in seven scoreless innings on July 26. He has an absurd 1.40 ERA through 13 starts this season. He’s due to face the Giants next.

He struck out seven and had 15 whiffs with a 34% CSW in his latest gem. Rogers has allowed exactly one run in four straight starts and a total of nine runs in his last 10 turns. It’s one of the most stunning developments of the season, and it shows no real sign of ending. He’ll face the slumping Astros on Sunday.

Rogers was once again sensational, and he blanked the Mariners over six innings before giving up a triple to Julio Rodríguez and an RBI single to Josh Naylor in the seventh. The southpaw didn’t issue a walk and struck out six, and his ERA is a sparkling 1.43 in a no-too-small sample of 63 1/3 innings. It’s understandable if people are skeptical, but Rogers should absolutely be in fantasy lineups next week against the Red Sox.

Rogers was hit harder than Ranger Suárez, but the eight hits he gave up were spread out and he never yielded a big blow, like Suárez did in allowing a three-run homer. Incredibly, Rogers has a 1.44 ERA through 10 big-league starts this season. The strikeout rate isn’t there to suggest he’ll keep this going, but he might last as a mixed-league guy the rest of the way. He’ll face the Mariners next.

Rogers racked up eight strikeouts on the afternoon and didn’t walk a batter. The only blemish on his day came in the form of a sacrifice fly off the bat of Ian Happ in the second inning, which just so happened to be the only run that either team would score in the contest. Rogers got 13 swings and misses on 88 pitches on the day — five each on his fastball and changeup — while registering an elite CSW of 38 percent. He’ll look to get back in the win column as he carries an impressive 1.44 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and a 48/13 K/BB ratio (56 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Phillies in Philadelphia.

Rogers made his best start of the season on Saturday, holding the Rockies scoreless over seven innings on his way to a win. He allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out five batters. The 27-year-old left-hander ends the day with a 1.49 ERA, 0.79 WHIP, and a 40/13 K/BB ratio across 48 1/3 innings. He’ll take on the Cubs in Chicago on Friday.

The left-hander struck out three and walked two while posting a 13 percent whiff rate and 24 percent CSW. As we’ve come to expect, this was not a dominant performance, and Rogers didn’t really miss many bats. However, he did control the zone with his changeup and didn’t allow much hard contact. One thing to watch is that his fastball velocity was down over one mph, with him sitting at 92.3 mph on the day. We’re going to want him around 93 mph or higher to feel good about consistently using him in fantasy leagues. He does get a cushy matchup next time out at home against the Rockies.

Rogers put together one of his best starts of the season on Saturday against he former team. He worked around an error in the first inning, then scattered two hits and two walks while striking out eight batters before his day was done with two outs in the seventh inning at 99 pitches. He’d leave with a runner on, who’d eventually come in to score. The 27-year-old left-hander closes the first half with a 1.53 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, and a 32/10 K/BB ratio across 35 1/3 innings.

Rogers gave up just two hits while posting a 32 percent whiff rate and 34 percent CSW on the day. His fastball velocity was down to 92.4 mph today, which is one mph down from what we had seen in his previous starts against the Rangers, and that feels important. He showed good command with the rest of the arsenal, and his slider ate up left-handed hitters today. This is not the same version of Rogers that we saw in the last two seasons; however, it’s not likely to be the same version we saw back in his breakout 2021 because the secondaries remain inconsistent. Still, he is worth rostering in most league types, especially with a matchup against the Marlins on deck.

Rogers did have control issues with 52-of-91 pitches landing for strikes and three free passes, but he was able to work around those walks for the most part. He allowed just three hits — one of those a homer — and his ERA is still a sensational 2.05; albeit over a sample of just four starts. Rogers will try and keep up the good work with maybe a little more consistent strike-throwing against Atlanta over the weekend.

Rogers had little trouble carving up a righty-heavy Rangers lineup in the longest start of his major-league career, limiting Texas to just three baserunners over eight strong frames. He finished with four strikeouts and didn’t hand out a free pass. The 27-year-old southpaw wasn’t overpowering but did touch 96 mph with his fastball on several occasions and averaged 93.9 on his heater, which enabled him to avoid hard contact in his third start since rejoining Baltimore’s rotation earlier this month. There’s likely to be some regression looming from a run-prevention standpoint, but Rogers’ recent success gives him some intrigue as a speculative pickup in deeper fantasy formats when he squares off against the strikeout-prone Rays on Sunday at Camden Yards.

Rogers is moving into the rotation with Cade Povich (hip) on the injured list, but he failed to back up his strong first start of the season a few weeks ago against the Red Sox. In this one, Rogers walked three, struck out four, and needed 71 pitches to get seven outs. He did post a solid 30 percent whiff rate and 28 percent CSW, but he struggles to find the zone with his sinker and couldn’t put batters away with his four-seamer, which led to longer at-bats. He sat 94.2 mph on his four-seamer tonight, which is a nice improvement and could make him an intriguing streamer if he can find the zone. Just not next week against the Rangers.

Rogers is up to make the start against the Rays on Wednesday. The left-hander did pitch well in his most recent outing in the majors with 6 1/3 scoreless frames, but he has not looked good in Triple-A, so it’s a pretty risky endeavor.

It’s not official yet, but as suspected, Rogers will be the choice to fill in for Cade Povich in the Orioles rotation. He had a great season debut for the team last month, when he shut out the Red Sox for 6 1/3 innings in the second game of a doubleheader. However, he’s struggled to a 5.46 ERA in Triple-A.

It’s incredible how much easier of a time Rogers had facing the Red Sox in a spot start last month than he has with Triple-A hitters; he allowed just two hits over 6 1/3 scoreless innings in Boston on May 24, but he’s given up 22 hits in 16 1/3 innings since being sent back down. Overall, he has a 5.46 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP in seven starts for Norfolk.
