Rogers signed a one-year contract with the Yankees on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Ben Nicholson-Smith of the Sportsnet.ca reports. A waiver acquisition at the end of July, Rogers posted a 4.68 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB in 18 appearances with the Yankees down the stretch. Financial terms were not immediately disclosed, but it would make sense if Rogers settled for less than what he likely would have made in arbitration as to avoid being non-tendered.

Rogers pitched one inning Wednesday, giving up an earned run to raise his ERA to 4.83. While Rogers' ERA for the season is high, he's been much better since joining the Yankees, working a 2.66 ERA in 12 appearances. He's done solid relief work, but is likely not valuable in most fantasy formats.

Rogers will not start Wednesday as originally scheduled, with Michael Pineda returning from the disabled list, Wallace Matthews of ESPN New York reports. The news means Rogers is likely headed back to the bullpen. Pineda hasn't pitched in the big leagues since April, so he could be on a limited pitch or inning count, which could allow Rogers the opportunity to have an extended relief appearance Wednesday.

Rogers has been listed as the Yankees starter Wednesday against Baltimore, though an official decision has yet to be made, Newsday reports. There has been some speculation that Michael Pineda would be ready to return to the team and start on Wednesday, but if not, Rogers would be in line to make his second start for the Yankees. Rogers picked up the win last time, allowing just run one over five innings. While the decision still isn't official, this would likely mean Pineda would be in line for a third rehab start.

Rogers turned in five solid frames Friday night, giving up one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out three in a winning effort against the Indians. Rogers first start of the season turned out to be a successful one, as the soon to be 29-year-old hurler was able to settle into a nice rhythm after the Yankees' staked him to a 5-1 advantage in the first frame. Rogers has now worked a total of nine innings since coming to the Pinstripers back on July 31 and has so far been a nice addition, surrendering just one run on five hits with eight strikeouts.

Rogers will start for the Yankees on Friday against the Indians. Rogers hasn't been added to the 25-man roster yet, but will be Friday and will make the start for the Yankees. He posted a 6.97 ERA and 1.69 WHIP out of the bullpen for the Blue Jays, and hasn't started a major league game since 2013. He will get his opportunity to do so for the Yankees, a team with five starters currently on the disabled list.

Blue Jays designated RHP Esmil Rogers for assignment. Rogers was only up with the big club for a few days and didn't appear in a game. He cleared waivers the last time he was designated for assignment and should do so again, though he'll have the option of declaring free agency.

Blue Jays purchased the contract of RHP Esmil Rogers from Triple-A Buffalo. Rogers posted a 6.97 ERA over 16 appearances at the major league level earlier this season, but he's back because the Blue Jays need a fresh arm for their bullpen. Look for him to pitch in long relief.

Esmil Rogers is expected to be called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday. Rogers was outrighted off the 40-man roster back in May, but the Blue Jays need a fresh arm in their bullpen. The 28-year-old owns a 6.97 ERA over 16 appearances at the major league level this season and figures to pitch in long relief.

Blue Jays sent Esmil Rogers outright to Triple-A Buffalo. The veteran right-hander passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as organizational depth both in the rotation and the bullpen for the Blue Jays.
