Rogers Stumbles Through Five, Orioles Still Triumph
by Jesse Garcia | Orioles Correspondent | Thu, Aug 8th 7:59am EDT
Trevor Rogers managed to limit the damage in Wednesday's 7-3 victory over the Blue Jays, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out just two over five innings.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Orioles pulling off a win, Rogers's performance was less than stellar, continuing a troubling trend in his season. With a bloated 4.71 ERA and a WHIP of 1.56 across 23 starts, his inability to suppress hits and walks significantly hampers his fantasy value. His low strikeout rate of 7.1 K/9 further diminishes his appeal in categories that reward pitchers for strikeouts. Given these metrics and his poor win-loss record, Rogers remains a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.
