Trevor Rogers holds Dodgers scoreless for seven

Rogers struck out four in another solid showing. After going 0-6 with a 10.01 ERA in seven starts from mid-April through the end of May, he’s come in at 3.12 in three starts in June. It’s enough to make him playable in mixed leagues again, though he’s not a great bet while facing the Dodgers in Los Angeles next weekend.

Rogers struck out three and walked one in a second straight solid start after a rather lengthy run of futility. Still, he was far from dominant in giving up 10 hard-hit balls and recording seven whiffs. He’ll pitch at home against the Padres on Sunday.

Rogers was given a six-run lead before he threw his first pitch and didn’t mess it up while allowing five hits, walking one and striking out three. Rogers came into this one 0-6 with a 10.01 ERA in his previous seven starts, so maybe this is the start of a turnaround. Still, it’d be nice to see him strike out more than three batters for once. He last did that seven starts ago on Apr. 19. He’ll face the Mariners next.

Rogers carried a shutout into the seventh inning before coughing up homers to Kazuma Okamoto and rookie Charles McAdoo, which spoiled an otherwise strong performance. He struck out three and only issued one walk. The results simply haven’t been there for Rogers to warrant consideration for a roster spot in fantasy leagues as he holds a bloated 6.84 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 38/18 K/BB ratio across 48 1/3 innings. He’s shown zero signs that he’s going to turn things around either. He’ll face the Red Sox at Fenway Park his next time out on Thursday.

Rogers struck out two and walked two. Things got off to a poor start with Dillon Dingler’s two-run homer in the first. Rogers began the year with three quality starts, but he’s given up four or more runs in five of his past six outings. Last year’s 1.81 ERA has dramatically regressed, and he’ll carry a 6.96 into his next scheduled start versus the Blue Jays.

Rogers has been obliterated for 14 runs over 7 2/3 innings across a pair of starts since returning from the injured list on May 12. The 28-year-old southpaw is positively radioactive from a fantasy standpoint with an abysmal 6.87 ERA across 38 innings this season. There’s no reason to believe he’ll turn things around anytime soon.

Rogers had a bad first month of the season with a 4.75 ERA before missing two starts with an illness. In his return to the Orioles’ rotation, he gave up six runs to the Yankees. The big blows were a leadoff home run by Paul Goldschmidt and a three-run home run by Trent Grisham that capped a five-run third inning. Rogers is lined up to face the Rays on the road on Monday, giving him a two-start week next week.

Rogers will face the Yankees tonight after missing two starts due to an illness. He had a 9.53 ERA in his most recent three starts before landing on the IL.

The Orioles don’t believe that Rogers will require a minor league rehab start before rejoining the rotation and there’s growing expectation that he’ll take the ball at some point during their upcoming series against the Yankees. While it’s encouraging for fantasy managers to get the 28-year-old southpaw back, a single-start week against the Yankees is far from an ideal situation. It may be best to give him a week to round back into form before throwing him back into lineups.

Rogers will get some time to recover and work on things out of the spotlight after struggling to a bloated 4.75 ERA. 1.45 WHIP and 27/10 K/BB ratio across 30 1/3 innings through six starts to open the season. He was scheduled to start against the Yankees on Saturday. The 28-year-old southpaw’s ugly first month is a tough development for the Orioles, and fantasy managers, after he looked like a certified ace with a 1.81 ERA (3.40 xERA), 0.90 WHIP and 103/29 K/BB ratio over 109 2/3 innings last year. He can be dropped in shallow mixed leagues, but the chance that he makes some adjustments that lead to immediate improvement make him worth hanging onto in deeper fantasy formats.
