Taylor

Rogers

That makes those players available to any team that’s willing to claim them and take on their remaining salaries. It’s unclear if there will be any actual interest in any of them, or if the Giants plan on keeping them if they pass through waivers unclaimed. Stay tuned.

It doesn’t sound like anything that should be a concern long-term, so it’s not going to affect Rogers’ regular off-season routine. He’ll be fully recovered and ready to roll by the time spring training rolls around.

Doval’s struggles created a save chance for Taylor Rogers, who retired the only batter he faced for his second save of the year. Three of the runs were unearned because of Doval’s own error on a comebacker from Kris Bryant. Doval has definitely been shakier over the last month than he was at any point in the first two-thirds of the season, but he’s still 37-for-45 in save chances.

Rogers had a three-run lead at the time. With his velocity down about two mph, he’s been very disappointing in giving up eight runs with a 3/6 K/BB ratio in 4 2/3 innings to date. He got the job done today, though.

There was some speculation that lefty Taylor Rogers could push Doval for the closing role this spring, but Zaidi reaffirmed that the hard-throwing right-hander will remain the Giants’ stopper. The 25-year-old righty added a deadly sinker to his repertoire in late July and was dominant over the final few months of last year, finishing with a stellar 2.53 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 80/30 K/BB ratio across 67 2/3 innings (68 appearances).

The deal is now official. Rogers joins his twin brother, Tyler, in the Giants’ bullpen and figures to step into a high-leverage setup role behind hard-throwing closer Camillo Doval. The 32-year-old southpaw recorded 31 saves combined last season between the Padres and Brewers and will likely vulture the occasional save chance in San Francisco. There’s also the possibility he could push Doval for the closing role this spring in the Cactus League. It’s a situation fantasy managers should monitor closely.

Rogers Brothers unite! Of course, Tyler Rogers has been a bullpen mainstay for the Giants over the past four seasons, but now he’ll be joined by his twin brother. Taylor had a rough year between the Padres and Brewers in 2022, posting a 4.76 ERA in 66 appearances, though his peripherals were solid and he still missed plenty of bats. Home runs were the biggest issue, so he should be a solid contributor in the late innings if he can get back to keeping the ball on the ground more often.

Rogers gave up a solo homer to Josh Donaldson that caused him to blow his ninth save of the season. Because the Brewers were able to score in the bottom of the ninth, he’s able to pick up a win. Sometimes, life isn’t fair.

Rogers struck out all three batters he faced and needed just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to slam the door on the Giants, who managed just four hits combined in this one. The 31-year-old southpaw has converted three of his four save chances since being dealt last month to the Brewers in a deal centered around stopper Josh Hader.

Rogers now has 30 saves on the season. He struck out two without allowing a hit, and looked like the option that was so impressive for the first couple of months of the year while with the Padres. Devin Williams also worked a scoreless inning in this one, and should see the majority of save chances down the stretch.
