San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Taylor Rogers succeeded in getting the final out of a one-run game against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. Rogers was tasked with getting the Giants out of a two-out, runner-on-first situation after Camilo Doval gave up four runs in a disastrous outing. Fortunately, Rogers was up to the task. He now has a 3.06 ERA and 1.16 WHIP, and could be the next man up for saves given Doval's recent struggles. The Giants bullpen has a lot of good options, though, so it wouldn't be a given that Rogers would assume the closer role. It is a situation to keep an eye on for fantasy managers looking to shore up their bullpens.
San Francisco Giants reliever Taylor Rogers recorded his first save of the season in the Giants' 5-2 win over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. Rogers inherited two runners in the 11th inning with one out and caught Jazz Chisholm looking on strikes, followed by a hit batsman and ground out to complete the save. The 32-year-old has been struggling since the beginning of the season despite a small sample size, but Wednesday's outing is a step in the right direction. In 4 2/3 innings of work, Rogers owns a horrid 13.50 ERA, 2.36 WHIP, with three strikeouts. The Colorado native hasn't had enough opportunities to make amends for his poor performance on the mound, but it's still early on the season and Rogers has plenty of time to find his groove. In 2022, the southpaw posted a 4.76 ERA (3.31 FIP), 1.181 WHIP, and a 30.7% strikeout rate across 64 1/3 innings.
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Taylor Rogers was asked to take the mound in the ninth inning during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The left-hander was able to get through all three of the batters he faced and earn his first save of the season. Normally, Camilo Doval is the primary closer, but he received the day off after struggling during his last outing. The expectation is that Doval will remain the team's closer. However, it wouldn't be shocking to see Rogers get a few more chances whenever Doval isn't available.
The San Francisco Giants and free-agent left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers agreed to a three-year, $33 million deal, pending a physical, on Friday, according to a source. Rogers will reunite with his brother Tyler in the Giants bullpen in 2023. The 32-year-old southpaw spent the 2022 season with the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers, posting a career-high 4.76 ERA (3.31 FIP), a 1.18 WHIP, a career-high 31 saves and a career-high 36 percent strikeout rate in 64 1/3 relief innings. Rogers had a bit of bad luck last year and should bounce back, although he won't be guaranteed save chances in San Francisco, as Camilo Doval should enter the 2023 campaign as the team's first option to close out games. Still, Rogers should be a high-leverage reliever for the Gigantes and should have appeal in holds leagues as a setup man with strikeout upside.
Milwaukee Brewers reliever Taylor Rogers secured his 31st save of the season as his club defeated the Giants 4-2 in the second game of a twin bill on Thursday. The lefty threw nine of his 13 pitches for strikes as he struck out the side in order to close out the game after Devin Williams closed out the team's first game earlier in the day. It's been an up-and-down season for Rogers in 2022 as his save total between the Padres and the Brew Crew is terrific, but it's come at the price of a 4.69 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. Managers who have rode with him this long should keep hanging on as he's bound to pick up a few more saves before the season has concluded.
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Taylor Rogers recorded his 30th save of the season Saturday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning of relief to secure an 8-6 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. He has now gone eight consecutive outings without allowing an earned run, though he only has two saves in that span. Fantasy managers should be regaining confidence in the lefty, even if his upside is limited by sharing the closer role with Devin Williams. Rogers has a 4.19 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 67 strikeouts in 53 2/3 innings this season.
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Taylor Rogers turned in another poor outing on Sunday, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk to take his sixth loss of the season against just one win. He struck out two batters. Rogers now has a 5.00 ERA and 1.20 WHIP on the season, and he's worked his way well off the fantasy radar following a trade from the San Diego Padres. It's hard to see how Brewers manager Craig Counsell could trust him in a late-inning role at this point, and he should be dropped in all fantasy formats.
Milwaukee Brewers left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers (knee) had a cortisone shot in his left knee over the weekend, which is why he was unavailable to pitch on Tuesday night in the win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Rogers should be good to go soon. With Devin Williams also unavailable after a heavy recent workload, right-hander Matt Bush came on for the save. In his two outings since being traded from the San Diego Padres, Rogers has allowed a run on two hits while striking out three and walking one in two innings. The 31-year-old southpaw has 28 saves on the season, but in Milwaukee he'll mostly be working as the eighth-inning setup man in front of Williams, which makes him a lot less attractive in fantasy baseball leagues.
According to a tweet from ESPN's Jeff Passan on Monday, the Milwaukee Brewers are reportedly acquiring relief pitcher Taylor Rogers along with fellow reliever Dinelson Lamet, pitching prospect Robert Gasser and outfield prospect Esteury Ruiz in exchange for relief pitcher Josh Hader. Rogers has converted 28 saves for the Padres this season, but has struggled as of late, giving up 20 hits, 11 earned runs, and a pair of walks in his last 11.1 innings of work. Devin Williams, who has pitched to a 1.59 ERA, a 1.31 FIP, 66 strikeouts and 19 walks in 39.2 innings this season, would appear to be a better choice to take over at closer.
San Diego Padres left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers has been removed from the closer role, according to manager Bob Melvin. Rogers has been one of the worst relievers in baseball the last few months, after arguably being the best reliever in the league for the first couple of months. Since May 28, Rogers has compiled a 8.14 ERA and 1.57 WHIP while converting just 11 of 18 save opportunities. He also took the loss on five occasions. Rogers could regain the role eventually, and Melvin even said he preferred Rogers in that role, but for now the Padres will go by committee. In deeper leagues, names like Luis Garcia and Nick Martinez should be watched carefully as they should see some opportunities.
