Latest On Taylor Rogers

By Mark Polishuk | August 7, 2021 at 8:02pm CDT

TODAY: Rogers has chosen for the non-surgical option of resting and rehabbing his finger, Baldelli told MLB.com’s Do-Hyoung Park and other reporters.  There aren’t yet any details on Rogers’ recovery timeline.

JULY 31: Taylor Rogers is hoping to avoid a season-ending surgery in the wake of his recent finger injury, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli told The Minneapolis Star Tribune’s Phil Miller and other reporters.  Baldelli initially thought that Rogers’ injury would indeed keep the left-hander out of action for the remainder of the 2021 season, though Rogers received a second opinion that could allow him to heal his tendon problem without surgery.

Rogers seems to be considering that second option for now, but it isn’t clear whether or not this non-surgical rehab route might take too long for Rogers to get back on the mound before the season is through.  The other factor could be the Twins themselves perhaps stepping in to shut Rogers down for the season, considering the team is out of the pennant race and might not want to risk Rogers coming back for meaningless games in late September.

The injury was officially termed a left middle finger sprain, though Miller notes that the injury specifically involved the pulley tendon within Rogers’ finger.  While the extent of the tendon damage isn’t known, the fact that surgery appears to be a consideration isn’t a good sign, and there could possibly even be some uncertainty about Rogers’ readiness for the start of the 2022 season.  Given how finger surgeries can often carry unclear timelines, it isn’t surprising that Rogers would prefer to explore any possible avenues to avoid going under the knife.

Were it not for this finger issue, it is quite possible Rogers might no longer be a Minnesota Twin, as the southpaw was drawing a lot of attention prior to the trade deadline.  Given how the Twins are reportedly planning to reload and attempt a return to contention in 2022, it doesn’t seem like Rogers will be shopped this offseason, regardless or whether or not he is healthy.

Rogers has been generally excellent over his six years with Minnesota, and his performance this season (3.35 ERA, 35.5% strikeout rate, 4.8% walk rate over 40 1/3 innings) earned him his first career All-Star nod.  Rogers has one remaining year of arbitration eligibility before hitting free agency in the 2022-23 offseason.

    I thought he’d spend the season in Wheel of Fortune instead but it would be hard to spin the wheel wirh a finger issue.

      He gave the finger to the ump, but was pronounced innocent. They can’t mess with him again or it would be double jeopardy. The ump returned his finger so he will play ball again.

    Why does this one throw over handed and the other pitch submarine?

    He sprained his middle finger by flipping off his teammates too often for their poor play this year.

    Might as well just shut him down for the remainder of the season. Twins aren’t going anywhere but home come October.

    Reload.. Retool… horse crap.. the word is rebuild.. but they won’t say it because they haven’t sold next years season tickets yet… looking at their Pitching we see.. 1 starter who is a guarantee next season.. maeda.. if he isn’t traded this winter… and unless they are going to bring the ” next Star” rookies Now.. which they have shown no sign of doing… you can pretty much expect that next years starters will be what we see this fall.. Ober, Jax, Barnes.. and who ever they replace pineda with after the end of season.. … and that is just the Starters.. Real contenders Have real pitching staffs… pretenders have ” offense’ and mediocre pitching staffs… and it sure looks like mediocre is where the pitching staff will be next year… The Minnesota Mediocres… … should be their names. they are very good at that… and selling tickets… they are damn good at that too.. that is their real game..

    It’s only been 6 days. There’s no pressure on him to make a decision today. I’d expect a finger sprain to have kept him out at least 3 weeks. If it’s not better by then, the decision is made. Two weeks of additional time isn’t going to make a difference for next year.

    Players and agents don’t allow teams to just “shut them down.” Durability goes a long way come contract time. One more year of arbitration and then he’s a FA.
