Scouting Report: Taylor Rogers
Minnesota Twins | RP
Overall
Summary
Trevor Rogers, 28-year-old Baltimore Orioles left-handed starter, was placed on the 15-day injured list in late April due to illness (flu). He was activated on May 12 to start against the Yankees. However, his 2026 season has been marked by significant struggles. Through 7 starts, Rogers posted a 2-4 record with a 6.87 ERA (worst of his 7-year career) through 34.1 innings with 27 strikeouts. His performance has been highly inconsistent: strong early (2-0, 1.89 ERA in first 3 starts), then deteriorated significantly (0-3, 12 ER in final 3 pre-IL starts). Post-IL return has been disastrous, including a 4-inning outing vs Yankees (6 ER, 2 HR) and an 8 runs (7 ER) in under 4 innings vs Rays. This contrasts sharply with his 2025 breakout season (1.81 ERA, 9-3 record in 18 starts, 109.2 IP). The Orioles rotation ranks 28th in MLB with 5.03 ERA.
Strengths
- Strong 2025 season (1.81 ERA, 9-3 record) demonstrates capability for excellence
- Excellent start to 2026 season (2-0, 1.89 ERA in first 3 starts)
