The Giants and Rogers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $5.25 million contract Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers had been arbitration-eligible for a final time this offseason. The side-arming reliever has been one of baseball's busiest relievers over the last several seasons, most recently holding a 2.82 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 51:6 K:BB over 70.1 innings in 2024.

Rogers (3-4) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win Friday over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers got three groundouts in the top of the eighth inning, and Matt Chapman's three-run double gave the Giants a lead in the bottom of the frame. Aside from a disaster outing Aug. 23 versus the Mariners, Rogers has been sharp this month -- he hasn't allowed a run in any of his other 13 appearances this month. For the season, he has a 3.06 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 45:4 K:BB over 61.2 innings while adding a save and 29 holds. Rogers also leads the majors in appearances with 68, matching his total from each of the last two years, though he's more frequently been asked to get less than three outs.

Rogers (2-4) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win Friday over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants' bullpen is in flux following the team's shock decision Friday to option out Camilo Doval, who had struggled recently as the closer. Rogers didn't receive a save situation Friday, but he pitched the ninth inning in a tied game, which is another common situation for closers to handle. That may have been a product of Ryan Walker pitching four the previous five days, as it's likely to be Walker who gets the most ninth-inning duties while Rogers -- who has often struggled in save situations -- remains in a setup role. For the season, Rogers has a 3.04 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 38:3 K:BB with one save, 25 holds and a blown save. In addition to Walker and Rogers, Jordan Hicks and Taylor Rogers should also get some late-inning looks, but this is a bullpen situation to monitor over the next few weeks.

Rogers (1-4) allowed two runs on two hits over one inning to take the loss Thursday versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants erased a two-run deficit in the top of the eighth inning, but Rogers gave it all back in the bottom of the frame by giving up back-to-back solo home runs to Nick Ahmed and Shohei Ohtani. This was Rogers' second loss in the span of a week, and he's allowed three homers over his last 3.1 innings. The right-hander is at a 3.33 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 34:3 K:BB with a save and 21 holds over 48.2 innings. He allowed only seven homers in 74 innings a year ago, but he's given up six long balls already this season.

Rogers (1-3) allowed three runs on three hits over one-third of an inning to take the loss Friday versus the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers couldn't keep the game tied at 3-3 in the eighth inning, giving up a three-run home run to Jake Cave that proved to be decisive. Prior to Friday, Rogers had allowed just one run over his lat 10.2 innings. He's now at a 3.15 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 34:3 K:BB with a save and 19 holds across 45.2 innings this season. Rogers has generally been reliable in a setup role and does not appear to be in danger of losing that spot in the bullpen hierarchy.

Rogers (1-2) pitched a perfect inning and was awarded the win Tuesday over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants led from the second inning on during the bullpen game. Rogers was the first reliever to post a clean outing, and the official scorer handed him his first win of the campaign. Aside from a June 18 three-run meltdown versus these same Cubs in Chicago, Rogers has had a good month. He's kept runs off the board in his other 10 appearances while adding four holds in a setup role. For the season, he's at a 2.92 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 27:2 K:BB with a save, 12 holds and a blown save across 37 innings.

Rogers (0-2) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Tuesday versus the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers was on the hook for the Cubs' three-run rally in the eighth inning. This outing ended his nine-inning scoreless streak, during which he allowed just four baserunners while striking out eight and collecting four holds. Rogers has been generally effective in a setup role this year with a 3.12 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 25:2 K:BB over 34.2 innings, to go with one save and 12 holds. While he sees plenty of high-leverage work, Rogers has often struggled when given opportunities to close, so Camilo Doval's role as closer is not in question despite his own struggles this year.

Rogers (0-1) suffered the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits, a walk and a hit-by-pitch while only recording one out against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers was filling in for a resting Camilo Doval, who had pitched the previous two games of the series. It was the second time in four days Rogers was called upon to fill in for the Giants' regular closer, but Sunday's outing was not nearly as successful as Thursday's, blowing the save and allowing the Mets to walk it off after entering the ninth with a two-run lead. Rogers' ERA ballooned by over a run, from 2.19 entering the game to 3.24 following the outing.

Rogers earned the save in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Pirates, working around a hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth, with Camilo Doval having pitched three times in the last four days. The Pirates would get a couple of baserunners via an error and a Bryan Reynolds single, but Rogers would ultimately escape unscathed, securing his first save this season. The 33-year-old sidearmer has put together another solid start to the campaign -- his ERA is down to 2.19 with a 0.97 WHIP and 16 strikeouts with no walks across 24.2 innings. While Doval is firmly established as the closer in San Francisco, Rogers is the clear number-two option.

Rogers picked up a hold by pitching a perfect eighth inning in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Rogers has served as a setup man for the Giants this year. He's pitched fairly well with a 2.63 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 9:0 K:BB over 13.2 innings while adding six holds in 15 appearances. He's yet to pick up a save, as Camilo Doval has yet to miss out on a save opportunity. Rogers' lack of a high strikeout rate limits his appeal in most fantasy formats, though it's encouraging that the submariner has avoided issuing free passes so far.
