Shifts to 60-day injured list Rogers (finger) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

Impact A sprained middle finger has kept Rogers on the shelf since late July. He's already been ruled out for the season, so the transaction is purely a procedural one. It clears space on the 40-man roster for the Twins to select Drew Maggi's contract.

Ruled out for season Rogers (finger) won't return to game action in 2021, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rogers landed on the 10-day injured list shortly after the All-Star break due to a left middle finger sprain, and manager Rocco Baldelli confirmed Friday that the southpaw won't return to the mound in 2021. However, the team is hopeful that he'll be able to ramp up his intensity prior to the end of the regular season, which bodes well for his availability to begin spring training in 2022.
