Baltimore Orioles Announce Trevor Rogers News on Wednesday

It looked like the Baltimore Orioles found their new ace last season, but this year has painted a different picture.

The Orioles acquired the New Mexico native from the Miami Marlins in 2024, and he went 9-3 with a 1.81 ERA over 18 starts last season. However, he's 2-3 with a 4.75 ERA over six starts so far this year, and now he's not healthy.

Baltimore announced roster moves involving Rogers on Wednesday, via social media.

The Orioles recalled right-handed pitcher Cameron Foster from Triple-A Norfolk and put Rogers on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Sunday. The latter player has an illness, but the club hasn't clarified what the illness is, per The Baltimore Sun's Jacob Calvin Meyer.

Although it's handy to have a starting pitcher log a sub-2.00 ERA, it was always unlikely that Rogers would sustain that production. The 2021 All-Star began the season with three quality starts, but he's allowed 13 runs (12 earned) over 11.1 innings in the last three.

With Rogers now out for the time being, needs the rest of its pitching staff to pick up the slack. One player who must take advantage of his opportunity is Foster, who has logged a 6.35 ERA over four appearances. The 27-year-old most recently threw two scoreless frames in a 10-3 win over the on Friday.
