Orioles Recall Rogers to Start vs. Rays

The Baltimore Orioles have recalled left-handed pitcher Trevor Rogers from Triple-A Norfolk to start Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays, filling in for the injured Cade Povich. Rogers, a former All-Star acquired last year in a trade involving top prospects, has struggled with the Orioles and in Triple-A this season, posting a 5.46 ERA over 29.2 innings. Despite these challenges, Rogers impressed in a recent MLB spot start on May 24 by pitching 6 1/3 scoreless innings against the Boston Red Sox. Interim manager Tony Mansolino and the coaching staff remain optimistic about Rogers, noting improvements in his form and mental approach. This start offers Rogers a chance to re-establish himself in the Orioles' rotation as the team competes for a playoff spot. Rogers acknowledges his recent struggles but believes his latest performance shows he can contribute at the major league level.
