Trevor Rogers Won't Be Ready For Opening Day
MASN's Roch Kubatko reports that Baltimore Orioles left-hander Trevor Rogers (knee) injured his right kneecap in January and won't be ready for Opening Day in late March. Specifically, Rogers suffered a subluxation of his knee last month and is weeks behind schedule with spring training kicking off this week. The 27-year-old southpaw only made four starts due to injuries in 2023 and wasn't very effective in his 25 starts last year, going 2-11 with a 4.92 ERA (4.52 FIP) and 1.58 WHIP with a 97:56 K:BB in 124 1/3 innings pitched for the Miami Marlins and Orioles. Not only was his velocity way down, but Rogers had a weak 17.3 percent strikeout rate and 10 percent walk rate. He was even demoted to the minors for a bit to work on his mechanics. Rogers worked to regain some velocity this offseason, but now another injury has gotten in the way. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues should be avoiding him on draft day.
