The Orioles will be without a key arm in the rotation for at least the next two weeks.
Baltimore placed lefty Trevor Rogers on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with an undisclosed illness. The move is retroactive to Sunday.
Pitcher Cameron Foster was summoned from Triple-A to fill the open roster spot.
In a start Saturday against the Red Sox, Rogers lasted a season-low 1 2/3 innings and allowed three runs on four hits and two walks in what turned into a 17-1 loss.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Trevor Rogers reacts after loading the bases during the second inning against the Boston Red Sox, Saturday, April 25, 2026, in Baltimore. AP “I felt really good going into today. My body feels good. I think my stuff’s in a really good spot,” the 28-year-old told reporters after the loss, according to MLB.com. “I’m just going to keep working and keep staying disciplined and I know, in the long run, this will turn around. … I know if I continue to do what I need to do and keep throwing the pitches in good spots, eventually, it’s going to go my way. I pride myself on getting contact and getting guys to swing the bat. I’m doing that. It’s just falling and just some big innings right now.”
Even though he didn’t take the hill until May, Rogers was one of the bright spots on the Orioles last year when he carried a 1.81 ERA and 0.903 WHIP across 18 starts. He received down-ballot Cy Young Award votes and finished ninth in the American League voting.
It looked like a revival for a starter who came to the Marlins as a first-round pick in 2017 and earned a National League All-Star spot in 2021 before struggling in each of the next three seasons resulting in a midseason trade to Baltimore in ’24.
Baltimore Orioles pitcher Trevor Rogers wipes his face in the fifth inning against the Cleveland Guardians in Cleveland, Sunday, April 19, 2026. AP This year, so far, hasn’t been as promising with a 4.75 ERA through 30 1/3 innings. He’s now the 11th player on Baltimore’s current injured list.
The Orioles, who were rained out on Wednesday, have a 14-15 record and are third in the AL East. The starting pitching has not gotten the job done, as not a single one of their rotation members with at least 20 innings this season has an ERA under 4.00.
