Josh Rogers's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Colorado Rockies left-hander Josh Rogers (shoulder) made five appearances for the Rockies between May 27 and June 14, when he went on the injured list with a left rotator-cuff strain. Although an MRI exam showed there was no extensive damage to his shoulder, it was not immediately clear how soon he could return to action. "He's in Arizona, he's rehabbing," manager Bud Black said on Saturday, referring to the Rockies' training facility in Scottsdale. "He's throwing, he's doing very well, progressing. I think that in the next week or two, you might see him in a Minor League rehab game. He's doing good." The 29-year-old southpaw should begin a rehab assignment in a week or two, but there's still no timetable for him to return to the big-league bullpen. In 9 2/3 innings of relief this year, he allowed seven earned runs on 12 hits while walking two and striking out two.

The Colorado Rockies have signed pitcher Josh Rogers to a minor-league deal. The 29-year-old didn't appear in the big leagues in the 2023 season but rather spent the campaign with Triple-A Albuquerque in the Rockies organization. He made 30 appearances (13 starts) for the Isotopes but struggled mightily to an 8.02 ERA (and 7.82 FIP) across 104 1/3 innings of work, striking out just 13.1% of his opponents. He also struggled mightily with the home run ball by way of a massive 2.67 HR/9 clip. He made six starts of 3.28 ERA ball with the Nationals in 2021 but owns a 5.42 ERA across 30 outings (12 starts) and 88 innings of big-league work split between the Orioles and Nationals.
