Contract selected The Rockies selected Rogers' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Impact The left-hander was designated for assignment by the Rockies in mid-July but will return to the big-league roster for Sunday's series finale versus Atlanta. Rogers has a 6.75 ERA over 9.1 frames in the majors this season and should fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.

Clears waivers The Rockies outrighted Rogers to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Impact Rogers will stick around in the Rockies organization after he went unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment Monday. He had been serving as a reliever for the Rockies but could step into a rotation spot for Albuquerque, with whom he had previously started in nine of his 10 appearances on the season prior to getting called up to Colorado in late May.

Pushed off 40-man roster The Rockies designated Rogers for assignment Monday.
Impact One day after getting optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque, Rogers now finds himself off the Rockies' 40-man roster after Colorado claimed lefty Antoine Kelly off waivers from Texas in a corresponding move. Before his demotion, Rogers had made five appearances at the big-league level this season, giving up seven earned runs on 12 hits and two walks over 9.1 innings. Rogers will likely stick around with the Rockies as bullpen depth at Albuquerque if he clears waivers.

Activated and optioned The Rockies reinstated Rogers (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Impact Rogers had been in the midst of a rehab assignment with Albuquerque and will remain with the Rockies' top affiliate even though he's made a full recovery from the left rotator cuff strain that resulted in his placement on the IL on June 17. The southpaw had posted a 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 9.1 innings over his five appearances out of the Colorado bullpen prior to landing on the IL.

Sent out on rehab assignment Rogers (shoulder) was sent to the Rockies' Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.
Impact Rogers has been sidelined since mid-June with a left rotator cuff strain but has been cleared to pitch in games again. He should be ready to return shortly after the All-Star break, although Rogers wouldn't seem to be a given to rejoin the big-league roster at that point.

Lands on IL with shoulder strain The Rockies placed Rogers on the 15-day injured list Monday with a left shoulder rotator cuff strain, retroactive to June 14.
Impact Rogers was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on May 27. Over his five major-league appearances this season, the 29-year-old southpaw registered a 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 9.1 innings. With Rogers on the shelf, the Rockies reinstated right-handers Jake Bird (elbow) and Justin Lawrence (shoulder) from the 15-day IL, while Angel Chivilli was optioned to Double-A Hartford.

Signs with Marlins Rogers signed a minor-league deal with the Marlins on Wednesday.
Impact Rogers joining the Marlins organization comes after opting for free agency once he was designated for assignment by Washington. He has a 5.13 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 26.1 innings in the majors this season, and an even worse 10.95 ERA over 12.1 innings in Triple-A. Barring a major turnaround in the minors, it is unlikely that Rogers will reach the big leagues again this year.

Elects free agency Rogers, who was designated for assignment by the Nationals earlier this week, has elected free agency, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Rogers has a 5.13 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 26.1 innings this season. Even if he catches on elsewhere, it would likely be on a minor-league deal.

Loses 40-man spot The Nationals designated Rogers for assignment Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Rogers will lose his spot on the 40-man roster with the Nationals needing to clear room in the wake of several new additions via trade ahead of Tuesday's deadline. The lefty was recently optioned to Triple-A Rochester after being activated from the 15-day injured list, but before that, he turned in a 5.13 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 26.1 innings. Rogers could remain with the organization if he goes unclaimed off waivers over the next few days.

Activated, optioned to Triple-A Rogers (shoulder) was activated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Rogers was serving as a reliever with the Nationals when he went down with a shoulder impingement on June 3. He's built up as a starter during his rehab assignment, throwing 5.1 innings in his last appearance. For now, Rogers will likely serve in Rochester's rotation, though he is also a candidate to pick up spot starts across the second half of the season in the majors.

Impact After covering five-plus innings for the first time since April 11 and tossing 85 pitches, Rogers appears ready to come off the 15-day injured list. Prior to being shelved with a left shoulder impingement, Rogers had been working out of the bullpen, but his workloads during his rehab assignment suggests the Nationals are planning on bringing him back from the IL as a starter. Washington has an opening in its rotation for Sunday's game against Atlanta, and Rogers would be available to pick up the start on a normal four-day rest schedule.
