The right-hander has posted a 2.45 ERA and 0.63 WHIP in 3.2 innings across three appearances at Triple-A Jacksonville and will likely be in the mix if the Marlins need an extra bullpen arm.

He allowed a leadoff single but retired the following three batters to finish off the victory.

The left-hander gave up a pair of fourth-inning runs but kept Miami in the contest, and he was taken off the hook for a loss when the Marlins scored a trio of eighth-inning runs to pull out the victory. Rogers has enjoyed a strong rookie campaign, posting a 2.52 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 132:42 K:BB across 114.1 innings. His next start is likely to come at Atlanta late next week.
