Rogers will start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Added to the 40-man roster and designated as the 29th man for the twin bill, Rogers will take the ball for his first big-league start since 2018. The lefty packs very little in terms of a strikeout punch (63 strikeouts in 90.1 innings at Triple-A this season), but he also doesn't hurt himself with walks. Rogers managed a 7-3 record, 3.70 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with Triple-A Rochester after being cut loose by the Orioles at the end of May.

The Nationals called up Rogers from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, Pete Kerzel of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kyle McGowin (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL to make room on the 40-man roster for Rogers, who will be the designated 29th man for the Nationals' twin bill against the Mets on Saturday. Rogers, a 27-year-old southpaw, struggled to a 7.79 ERA at Triple-A Norfolk before being released by Orioles at the end of May. He's turned it around since joining Rochester, posting a 3.70 ERA in 14 appearances (13 starts), albeit with only 49 strikeouts in 73 innings.

Rogers signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was let go by the Orioles on Monday, and it didn't take him long to latch on with a new team. Rogers struggled at Triple-A Norfolk before being released with a 7.79 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB over 17.1 innings.

The Orioles released Rogers on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
One of the prospects that Baltimore received in the July 2018 deal that sent Zack Britton to the Yankees, Rogers posted an 8.65 ERA across 26 innings in his first two seasons with the Orioles before undergoing Tommy John surgery in July 2019. He's since recovered from the elbow procedure, but Rogers was off to a rough start at Triple-A Norfolk, having surrendered 15 earned runs on 24 hits and three walks over 17.1 innings. The 26-year-old will look to land a minor-league deal with another organization.

Rogers (elbow) cleared waivers Wednesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers underwent Tommy John surgery in early July and is unlikely to pitch until late in 2020 if at all. He allowed 14 earned runs in 14.1 big-league innings prior to the injury.

Rogers underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The procedure was technically referred to as UCL revision, as he'd already gone through the surgery once in high school. Rogers will miss the rest of 2019 and will return very late in 2020 at the earliest.

The Orioles transferred Rogers (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Monday, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction opens up a roster spot for Tom Eshelman -- who was called up from Triple-A Norfolk to start Monday's game against the Rays -- and ensures that Rogers won't be eligible to rejoin the Orioles until late August at the soonest. While Rogers has yet to formally decide on a treatment method for his UCL injury, the expectation is that he'll undergo Tommy John surgery within the next couple of weeks, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. The procedure would keep Rogers out of the remainder of the 2019 season and likely sideline him for most -- if not all -- of the 2020 campaign, as well.

Rogers was diagnosed with a strained UCL and will receive a second opinion, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a tough break for Rogers, who expressed concern over the injury Wednesday. The Orioles will wait for the results of his second opinion before moving forward, but Tommy John surgery appears to be the likeliest possibility at this point.

Rogers was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left elbow sprain.
EDGE Analysis
This move comes after Rogers struggled in his most recent outing against the Padres on Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over 2.1 innings. It's unclear how long the southpaw will be sidelined following this injury, though he should remain out of commission at least through the All-Star break. Paul Fry was summoned from the minors in a corresponding move, while the Orioles have yet to announce who will replace Rogers in the rotation.

Rogers was charged with three runs on five hits over 2.1 innings during Tuesday's 8-3 loss to San Diego. He issued one walk and had zero strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers delivered 20 of his 34 pitches for strikes and had little luck putting away hitters Tuesday. The 24-year-old was spared from being handed the loss since opener Jimmy Yacabonis allowed five runs. Rogers' 8.79 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 5:6 K:BB through 14.1 innings will keep him off fantasy radars even if he continues to see chances as a bulk reliever.
