San Francisco Giants reliever Tyler Rogers was trusted with the last four outs on Friday to preserve a one-run lead. The left-hander closed the door, throwing a perfect 1.1 innings while striking out a pair to earn his second save of the season. The outing brought Rogers' numbers to an impressive 2.31 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and 20.0% strikeout rate through 23.1 innings of work, and he's added eight holds to his ledger. Closer Camilo Doval got his second off day in a row after pitching three straight games from Monday to Wednesday. Fantasy managers should assume Doval will be available on Saturday and Rogers will move back into a set-up role.
San Francisco Giants pitcher Tyler Rogers is expected to return from paternity leave against the Cleveland Guardians on Friday. In Monday's defeat against the San Diego Padres, he allowed an earned run on two hits over one inning and was tagged with the loss. Overall, the 31-year-old has racked up two holds while posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and three strikeouts over 2 2/3 innings in 2022. The right-hander is one of San Francisco's top setup men for closer Camilo Doval. Rogers has more fantasy value in leagues that reward saves and holds as he picked up 43 ( 13 saves, 30 holds) solds for the Giants last season.
San Francisco Giants reliever Tyler Rogers exited Saturday's Spring Training game after taking a comebacker off his lower right leg. He exited the game without throwing another pitch, but the fact that he was able to walk on his own suggests that his removal could have been merely precautionary. Indeed, the Giants can't afford to lose Rogers, who dominated in 2021. Through 81 innings out of the bullpen, he went 7-1 with a 2.22 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 55 strikeouts. Furthermore, he surrendered just five homers and 13 walks. When all was said and done, the right-hander ranked among the league's best relievers in xwOBA, xERA, xSLG, walk rate, barrel rate, hard-hit rate, and opponent exit velocity.

The side-armer was fantastic in various situations for the Giants all season long and will continue to be a key part of their game plan as the postseason continues.
Tyler Rogers Pitches Two Innings, Earns Win Thursday
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Tyler Rogers was at it again in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks, pitching two scoreless innings to pick up his seventh win of the season.

He stayed on to pitch the ninth, allowing two singles but not allowing any runs. The Giants were able to walk it off in the bottom half of the inning, making Rogers the winning pitcher of record. The side-armer has done it all this season, compiling a 2.25 ERA with 29 holds and 13 saves. He has been a valuable fantasy pitcher in roto leagues throughout the season and should be a key arm out of the bullpen for the Giants in the playoffs.

The side-armer has been fabulous all season and now has a 1.95 ERA, six wins, and 28 holds. He will likely see save opportunities while Jake McGee (oblique) is on the injured list, making him even more valuable in fantasy leagues to end the season.
