Rogers carried a strong spring into the season, but his hopes of rebounding from a poor 2022 campaign were dashed after four starts. First, Rogers was shelved with a biceps strain, and when he appeared ready to return, the southpaw was diagnosed with a partial tear in his right lat, shutting him down for the season. In his four starts, Rogers was showing signs of improvement, including the introduction of a sinker. It was only 18 innings, but his peripherals were much closer to 2021 than 2022. Because the second injury was to his non-throwing arm, Rogers was able to play catch down the stretch, with plans on continuing to throw into the offseason. He'll enter 2024 as a wild card. Even if Rogers demonstrates 2022 is the outlier, durability is an issue after making only four starts last season and 23 the prior campaign. Rogers is best drafted as a fungible starter, with streaming upside and replaceable if he struggles. Read Past Outlooks
