Manager Gabe Kapler said Tuesday, "We're excited about Rogers," after he retired all three batters faced in a Cactus League game against the White Sox, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR Radio reports.
Rogers made his major-league debut in 2019 and delivered a 1.02 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB over 17.2 innings while recording five holds. The 29-year-old submariner may begin 2020 in a high-leverage role, given San Francisco's lack of established back-end options in the bullpen.
