Rocker (2-6) was tagged with the loss Tuesday against the Twins after allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits -- including two home runs -- and two walks across 3.1 innings. He struck out four.
The six earned runs allowed established a new season-high mark for Rocker, who had given up two or fewer in five of his previous six outings. His inconsistencies on a game-to-game basis have hurt his appeal, as he's not a pitcher who can produce above-average strikeout rates or regularly pitch deep into games. He owns a 4.17 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 14 appearances (13 starts) and 69 innings in 2026. Rocker is in line to make his next start next week on the road against the Marlins.
