Taylor Rogers - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Used in eighth inning Rogers allowed one hit while striking out one over a scoreless inning in Thursday's 2-1 loss against Baltimore.

Impact Rogers was used in the eighth inning in a game the Twins were trailing 2-1. It was a high-leverage situation but Cole Sands was warming up in case the Twins tied the game or had a lead. Rogers may still figure into the closer mix, but manager Derek Shelton has said he's still figuring out his bullpen and roles will be determined by performance early in the season.

Still in unsettled closer mix Rogers has a 4.50 ERA this spring with a 6:3 K:BB in four innings. He's still likely in the mix to close games but manager Derek Shelton said he still has no plans for how he'll di...

Impact Rogers has the most experience closing games in the bullpen, but his declining velocity to an average fastball of 92.8 mph last season from a peak of 95.8 mph in 2021 may not make him ideal as the primary closer. He'll still had a decent 9.4 K/9 last season so he could be part of a committee. However, at this point it's very unclear how the Twins will divide up the opportunities to finish games among an unsettled bullpen that also includes save candidates Justin Topa, Cole Sands and Liam Hendriks.

Heading back to Minnesota The Twins signed Rogers to a one-year, $2 million contract, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic report.

Impact Rogers was drafted by the Twins and spent the first six of his 10 big-league seasons in Minnesota. The left-hander split his time between the Reds and Cubs in 2025, finishing with a 3.38 ERA and 53:23 K:BB over 50.2 regular-season innings. The 35-year-old Rogers isn't as effective as he once was, but he could be part of the late-inning mix in an unsettled Twins bullpen.

Mets Clutch Out Win Against the Cubs to Regain Advantage in NL Wild Card Race

Earns win Wednesday Rogers (3-2) tossed a scoreless inning of relief to earn the win in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over Atlanta.

Impact Jameson Taillon was making his return from the injured list after missing the past few weeks with a strained left groin, and he was limited to only 4.1 innings in the start. Rogers was first up out of the bullpen, which set him up for his third win of the year and first since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline. The veteran lefty now has a 3.35 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 10.1 K/9 across 45.2 innings this season split between Cincinnati and Chicago.

Impact Rogers allowed a solo home run back on Aug. 18, but outside of that, he's been flawless with his new team. The veteran lefty has quickly earned trust as a high-leverage setup option in front of closer Daniel Palencia. For the season, Rogers has a 2.23 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 10.0 K/9. With a career 10.5 K/9, he should be expected to keep racking up strikeouts at a high rate the rest of the year.

Pitching well with new team In four appearances since joining the Cubs before the trade deadline, Rogers has logged 3.1 scoreless innings with five strikeouts.

Impact Rogers extended his scoreless streak Saturday against the Cardinals despite allowing a hit and a walk in his inning of relief. The lefty actually hasn't allowed an earned run over his last 16 appearances dating back to June 19, when he was pitching for the Reds. Rogers has a stellar 2.23 ERA and 9.7 K/9 across 36.1 innings this season, and he's slotted in as the top southpaw in Chicago's bullpen, working as a key setup option ahead of closer Daniel Palencia.
