Fantasy Analysis
Rogers had been pitching well of late, but this is a big wakeup call to his Fantasy owners. The 43-year-old pitcher isn't going to be the most reliable of Fantasy pitchers and should only be considered as an occasional stopgap in AL-only formats. He now has just 23 strikeouts against 24 walks this season to go with an ugly 6.65 ERA. The only thing he has going for him is that he'll face a weak Mariners lineup in his next outing against Seattle. (Updated 05/15/2008).
Rogers was tagged for seven runs and a season-high 11 hits in just four innings of an 8-4 loss to the Royals on Thursday. (Updated 05/16/2008)
