Marlins Shut Trevor Rogers Down For Rest Of Season

By Darragh McDonald | September 19, 2022 at 8:45pm CDT

Marlins left-hander Trevor Rogers tells Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald that he will be shut down for the remainder of the season. The southpaw left Saturday’s start due to an injury that has now been diagnosed as a lat strain. Although it’s only a Grade 1 strain and thus minor, there’s not enough time left in the season to heal up and return to action.

Rogers, 24, made a brief MLB debut in 2020 and followed that up with an excellent 2021 campaign. He threw 133 innings last year with a 2.64 ERA, 28.5% strikeout rate, 8.4% walk rate and 40.1% ground ball rate. He finished second in the National League Rookie of the Year voting, behind only Jonathan India.

It seemed like the Marlins had yet another talented young starting pitcher in their stable but it’s been a very disappointing season here in 2022, with just about every element of his game taking a downturn. Through 107 innings, he has a 5.47 ERA, 22.2% strikeout rate, 9.4% walk rate and 42% ground ball rate. It’s possible that health has been a factor, as he spent about a month on the injured list earlier this year due to back spasms and now has this lat strain. Regardless, it’s surely not the campaign that he or the Marlins would have hoped for.

In the short-term, the Marlins can survive for a few weeks with a four-man rotation of Sandy Alcantara, Pablo Lopez, Edward Cabrera and Jesus Luzardo. They have an off-day on Thursday and another on Monday, meaning they won’t strictly need a fifth starter until the start of October.

In the long run, the club will have to decide how much they want to pencil Rogers into their plans. The Marlins are reportedly thinking about trading from their rotation surplus this offseason as a way to give a boost to next year’s lineup. Rogers is a potential candidate himself, though his stock is surely at a low point right now relative to a year ago. It might be worthwhile for the club to hope for better results next year and allow his trade value to rebound, though it’s also possible they consider him the most expendable of its current group. Each of the four aforementioned hurlers are sporting an ERA under 4.00 this year and none of them will reach free agency this winter. Despite his down season, Rogers has four years of club control remaining after this one and has yet to reach arbitration. That would make him an intriguing trade target for any club who believes 2022 was a blip and that 2021 was closer to his true form.

Rogers hasn’t yet been formally placed on the injured list but surely will be as soon as the club needs his roster spot. Since he won’t be returning this year, they could place him on the 60-day IL and use his 40-man roster spot for a waiver claim or to promote someone within the system for a cup of coffee down the stretch.

    I would love to see the Red Sox make a trade for this guy. He could somewhat of a buy low, I mean he’ll still cost quite a bit, but not as much as last of season

        Marcelo for Rogers should be a good buy low.

          No, that would be an overpay if it was before this season. Maybe Yorke, Duran, and Dalbec along with a couple smaller pieces.

          FYI…Mike Hill is no longer the Marlins GM. Therefore, the Marlins will not be in the business of making the Red Sox better. They are in the business of making themselves better.

    Rogers showed improvement coming off the IL recently. He’s definitely better than what his overall stats this season indicate. Best of luck to him next year. Rotation should look formidable

      Crazy thing is that the rotation is almost contention caliber. But the lineup and bullpen is that of a 100-loss team.

    I hope that Rogers comes back full strength in ST. This team can be solid with the rotation of Alcantara, Cabrera, Rogers, Luzardo, and Garrett.

    Then trade Lopez for a bat in the infield. Sign another bat in the infield.

    And very importantly, sign or trade for a legit Closer. If the Marlins spend big this offseason, they should get into the Edwin Diaz sweepstakes.

      How about Vaughn Grissom and Braden Shewmake for Lopez and Rogers. They think they’re infielders and the Marlins can surely afford to buy them some bats………..Besides, don’t you want to “weaken” the Braves? Heh heh heh…………

      amk1920, haha I hear what you are saying…But I promise you that I knew a few people in HS that were 19 when we graduated. It is not that rare of an occurence. But I don’t put it past “some” parents these days to pull the o’l Danny Almonte type tactics.

        I was 19 and would’ve been 20 if I hadn’t graduated in HS in January with the bare minimum of credits required for a diploma. I had way too much fun during those years. Thankfully, the college which took me only considered my SAT scores and not my disaster of a GPA. I also did not have any advantage besides mastering how to not get caught cutting school.

          YBC, You are bringing back pretty good memories of a long and distinguished ditching career. Starting Junior year but by Senior year (had wheels by then) I was next-level. No 1st period, so I showed up to 2nd 3/4 of the way thru or not all all. So within 2 hours of getting to school it was lunch time…Which I rarely came back from (2hr lunch)…So 5th period went out the window…By then it was Baseball then go home haha
