Trevor Rogers Reinstated and Starting on Tuesday
The Baltimore Orioles announced that they reinstated left-hander Trevor Rogers (illness) from the 15-day injured list, and he will start Tuesday's game against the division-rival New York Yankees. In a corresponding move, the O's optioned right-hander Jose Espada to Triple-A Norfolk. Rogers is back after missing the last couple of weeks due to a bad case of the flu. The 28-year-old southpaw gave up only four earned runs while walking five and striking out 14 in 19 innings in his first three starts of the year before surrendering 13 runs (12 earned) on 19 hits (three homers) while walking five and fanning 13 in 11 1/3 innings in his three most recent appearances. Rogers wasn't rehabbing any kind of injury, so he didn't require a minor-league rehab assignment. Tuesday's start will be his first game since April 25, though, so we would not recommend starting him, especially against a Yankees team that ranks third in baseball with a .771 OPS.
