Rockies' Josh Rogers: Heads to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Rogers to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Rogers' latest stint in the majors lasted just one day, as he allowed one run over 1.2 innings in a relief appearance Sunday versus Atlanta. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Bradley Blalock, who was called up from Double-A Hartford to start Monday's game in Arizona.

The left-hander was designated for assignment by the Rockies in mid-July but will return to the big-league roster for Sunday's series finale versus Atlanta. Rogers has a 6.75 ERA over 9.1 frames in the majors this season and should fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.

Rockies' Josh Rogers: Clears waivers
Rotowire
The Rockies outrighted Rogers to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Rogers will stick around in the Rockies organization after he went unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment Monday. He had been serving as a reliever for the Rockies but could step into a rotation spot for Albuquerque, with whom he had previously started in nine of his 10 appearances on the season prior to getting called up to Colorado in late May.

Rockies' Josh Rogers: Pushed off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Rockies designated Rogers for assignment Monday.
One day after getting optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque, Rogers now finds himself off the Rockies' 40-man roster after Colorado claimed lefty Antoine Kelly off waivers from Texas in a corresponding move. Before his demotion, Rogers had made five appearances at the big-league level this season, giving up seven earned runs on 12 hits and two walks over 9.1 innings. Rogers will likely stick around with the Rockies as bullpen depth at Albuquerque if he clears waivers.

Rockies' Josh Rogers: Activated and optioned
Rotowire
The Rockies reinstated Rogers (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Rogers had been in the midst of a rehab assignment with Albuquerque and will remain with the Rockies' top affiliate even though he's made a full recovery from the left rotator cuff strain that resulted in his placement on the IL on June 17. The southpaw had posted a 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 9.1 innings over his five appearances out of the Colorado bullpen prior to landing on the IL.

Rotowire
Rogers (shoulder) was sent to the Rockies' Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.
Rogers has been sidelined since mid-June with a left rotator cuff strain but has been cleared to pitch in games again. He should be ready to return shortly after the All-Star break, although Rogers wouldn't seem to be a given to rejoin the big-league roster at that point.

Rockies' Josh Rogers: Earns win Monday
Rotowire
Rogers (1-0) allowed two runs on four hits over five innings Monday, striking out two and earning a win over the Guardians.
Rogers was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and was thrust into action after Anthony Molina covered the first 1.2 innings Monday. It was Rogers' first MLB appearance since 2022. The 29-year-old southpaw registered a 5.44 ERA through nine starts in Triple-A this season. If Rogers sticks around on the MLB roster, he'll likely continue filling some sort of bulk relief role.

Rockies' Josh Rogers: Called up to big leagues
Rotowire
The Rockies selected Rogers' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Colorado made a number of moves ahead of Monday's series opener against the Guardians, including adding Rogers and Peter Lambert to the bullpen. Rogers has pitched to a 5.44 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in nine starts at Triple-A this season and may be needed for length right away Monday behind Anthony Molina, with Austin Gomber (arm) scratched from the start.

Rockies' Josh Rogers: Shifted to minors camp
Rotowire
The Rockies reassigned Rogers to minor-league camp Tuesday.
Rogers struggled last season in the majors with Washington to the tune of a 5.13 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 26.1 innings. Triple-A wasn't exactly kind to him either, as his stats ballooned to a 6.03 ERA and 1.49 WHIP through 59.2 frames. The 28-year-old lefty will likely return to Triple-A for the start of 2023 and serve as organizational bullpen depth.

Rotowire
Rogers signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Friday.
It's unclear whether the southpaw was given an invitation to major-league spring training. Rogers, 28, has posted a 5.42 ERA over 30 appearances including 12 starts at the major-league level. He'll serve as swingman depth for the Rockies.

Marlins' Josh Rogers: Signs with Marlins
Rotowire
Rogers signed a minor-league deal with the Marlins on Wednesday.
Rogers joins the Marlins organization after opting for free agency once he was designated for assignment by Washington. He has a 5.13 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 26.1 innings in the majors this season, and an even worse 10.95 ERA over 12.1 innings in Triple-A. Barring a major turnaround in the minors, it is unlikely that Rogers will reach the big leagues again this year.

Nationals' Josh Rogers: Loses 40-man spot
Rotowire
The Nationals designated Rogers for assignment Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Rogers will lose his spot on the 40-man roster with the Nationals needing to clear room in the wake of several new additions via trade ahead of Tuesday's deadline. The lefty was recently optioned to Triple-A Rochester after being activated from the 15-day injured list, but before that, he turned in a 5.13 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 26.1 innings. Rogers could remain with the organization if he goes unclaimed off waivers over the next few days.

Nationals' Josh Rogers: Looks ready to return from IL
Rotowire
Rogers (shoulder) struck out five and allowed four earned runs on seven hits and three walks across 5.1 innings in his fourth minor-league rehab start Tuesday at Double-A Harrisburg.
After covering five-plus innings for the first time since April 11 and tossing 85 pitches, Rogers appears ready to come off the 15-day injured list. Prior to being shelved with a left shoulder impingement, Rogers had been working out of the bullpen, but his workloads during his rehab assignment suggests the Nationals are planning on bringing him back from the IL as a starter. Washington has an opening in its rotation for Sunday's game against Atlanta, and Rogers would be available to pick up the start on a normal four-day rest schedule.

Nationals' Josh Rogers: Shifting rehab to Triple-A
Rotowire
Rogers (shoulder) is scheduled to make his next rehab appearance Thursday for Triple-A Rochester, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Rogers covered three innings in his first rehab outing Saturday for the Nationals' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, so he'll presumably be in line for an outing of similar length Thursday. The lefty is expected to serve as a bulk reliever once he's deemed ready to return from the 15-day injured list.

Nationals' Josh Rogers: Placed on 15-day IL
Rotowire
Rogers was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left shoulder impingement, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Rogers will now be away from the team for at least 15 days, but due to the fact that it is his throwing shoulder, it could be longer. Andres Machado was called up from Triple-A Rochester on Friday to take his spot in the bullpen.

Rotowire
Rogers is available out of the bullpen Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Nationals' Josh Rogers: Surrenders three homers in loss
Rotowire
Rogers (1-2) allowed six hits (three home runs), four runs and a walk while recording one strikeout over 4.1 innings, taking the loss Thursday to the Diamondbacks.
Rogers had yet to allow a home run over two starting appearances, but that trend ended in a big way against Arizona. He continues to trend downward after beginning the season with an encouraging performance against Atlanta. Although he will hold onto a spot in the rotation for now, the Nationals have a host of pitchers coming off the IL in the coming weeks, making him a risky fantasy add if he continues to underperform.
