• Cubs' Taylor Rogers: Earns win Wednesday

  09/11/2025 • By RotoWire

  Rogers (3-2) tossed a scoreless inning of relief to earn the win in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over Atlanta. Jameson Taillon was making his return from the injured list after missing the past few weeks with a strained left groin, and he was limited to only 4.1 innings in the start. Rogers was first up out of the bullpen, which set him up for his third win of the year and first since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline. The veteran lefty now has a 3.35 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 10.1 K/9 across 45.2 innings this season split between Cincinnati and Chicago.

• Cubs' Taylor Rogers: Continues impressive run

  08/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Rogers, who tossed a scoreless inning of relief in Tuesday's loss to the Giants, has allowed just one run and struck out 11 batters across 7.1 innings since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline. Rogers allowed a solo home run back on Aug. 18, but outside of that, he's been flawless with his new team. The veteran lefty has quickly earned trust as a high-leverage setup option in front of closer Daniel Palencia. For the season, Rogers has a 2.23 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 10.0 K/9. With a career 10.5 K/9, he should be expected to keep racking up strikeouts at a high rate the rest of the year.

  In four appearances since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline, Rogers has logged 3.1 scoreless innings with five strikeouts. Rogers extended his scoreless streak Saturday against the Cardinals despite allowing a hit and a walk in his inning of relief. The lefty hasn't allowed an earned run over his last 16 appearances dating back to June 19, when he was pitching for the Reds. Rogers has a stellar 2.23 ERA and 9.7 K/9 across 36.1 innings this season, and he's slotted in as the top southpaw in Chicago's bullpen, working as a key setup option ahead of closer Daniel Palencia.

  07/30/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Pirates acquired Rogers, shortstop Sammy Stafura and cash considerations from the Reds on Wednesday in exchange for third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Rogers has collected a 2.45 ERA and 34:19 K:BB over 33 innings this season for the Reds. Given that he's an impending free agent and the Pirates aren't playoff contenders, the lefty reliever could be flipped to another team before Thursday's trade deadline.
