Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Back to minors after sterling debut
The Orioles returned Rogers to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. He pitched 6.1 scoreless innings in a no-decision against Boston in the Orioles' 2-1 win in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing two hits and recording five strikeouts without issuing any walks.
Rogers posted an ugly 8.10 ERA across four starts with Triple-A Norfolk prior to being called up Saturday, but none of those struggles showed up in his MLB season debut. The southpaw allowed just two hits -- both singles -- and threw 56 of 87 pitches for strikes while recording a first-pitch strike to 18 of the 22 batters he faced. The effort wasn't rewarded with a victory -- neither team scored until the eighth frame -- but it may result in Rogers getting more opportunities in the rotation in the near future. Rogers' move back to Triple-A following Saturday's outing was a result of him being summoned as the 27th man for the twin bill, and Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun suggests that the hurler has a good chance of being called up again next week to potentially make another start.
