Trevor Rogers Has Nice Outing On Tuesday
Trevor Rogers had his best start of the spring on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals. He threw four innings and allowed just one run on four hits with a K-BB of 5-1. He also induced five ground-ball outs. In three starts combined, Rogers' has a 4.32 ERA with nine hits and three walks allowed in 8.1 innings. He's struck out 13 batters. With Braxton Garrett recently sent to the minors, Rogers is in a good place to secure the fifth starter's role if he continues to throw well. In seven starts at the MLB level last year, Rogers posted a 6.11 ERA while struggling with his fastball command. He's ranked by Rotoballer as the 96th-best prospect for dynasty baseball leagues.

Trevor Rogers Could Return Before End Of May
Trevor Rogers (knee) will face live hitters in Sarasota, Fla., next week and could return from the 15-day injured list before the end of May, according to general manager Mike Elias. Rogers is working his way back from a subluxation of his right knee and might not be far off from going on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 27-year-old southpaw, who was a former 13th overall pick by the Miami Marlins in 2017, was acquired in a trade with Miami last year to bolster Baltimore's starting rotation. The former All-Star was a disaster in his four starts for the O's, though, going 0-2 with a 7.11 ERA and 1.84 WHIP in 19 innings, and was eventually sent to the minors. With minor-league options remaining, there's no guarantee that Rogers will rejoin the team's big-league starting rotation when he's recovered from his knee injury.

Trevor Rogers Still Playing Catch On Flat Ground
Trevor Rogers (knee) is still limited to flat-ground work but hopes to be throwing off a mound by the end of camp. The former first-round pick suffered a knee subluxation back in January but has fortunately continued throwing despite the injury. Meyer notes that the lefty's ramp-up could be quicker since he's been playing catch all spring, and his arm is in a good spot. Still, he'll have to get his knee right before he can toe the rubber again. Rogers pitched poorly last season as a member of the Miami Marlins and was even worse once being shipped to Baltimore in July -- registering a 7.11 ERA and an 0-2 record in 19 innings pitched with the club. Cumulatively, he was 2-11 with a 1.58 WHIP and 4.92 ERA in 25 starts.

Trevor Rogers Won't Be Ready For Opening Day
Trevor Rogers (knee) injured his right kneecap in January and won't be ready for Opening Day in late March. Specifically, Rogers suffered a subluxation of his knee last month and is weeks behind schedule with spring training kicking off this week. The 27-year-old southpaw only made four starts due to injuries in 2023 and wasn't very effective in his 25 starts last year, going 2-11 with a 4.92 ERA (4.52 FIP) and 1.58 WHIP with a 97:56 K:BB in 124 1/3 innings pitched for the Miami Marlins and Orioles. Not only was his velocity way down, but Rogers had a weak 17.3 percent strikeout rate and 10 percent walk rate. He was even demoted to the minors for a bit to work on his mechanics. Rogers worked to regain some velocity this offseason, but now another injury has gotten in the way. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues should be avoiding him on draft day.

Trevor Rogers Looking To Regain Velocity
Trevor Rogers, who as acquired in a trade from the Miami Marlins last year, was sent to Triple-A Norfolk after four mostly ineffective starts with his new club. It was a big fall for Rogers, who had a 3.17 ERA in his final nine starts with the Marlins. He had a 7.11 ERA in his four starts for the O's. Rogers was an All-Star as a rookie in 2021 but admits he was overwhelmed in his move to Baltimore in 2024. The veteran lefty did have a 2.96 ERA with 28 K's and six walks in 24 1/3 innings in his final four starts for Norfolk, though, and he is going to a player performance data-driven center this offseason for further evaluation to try and regain some velocity. Rogers averaged 94.5 mph on his fastball in 2021, but it was down to 91.9 mph in 2024. The 27-year-old is focusing on getting his lower half stronger as he looks to bounce back in 2025 with the O's.
