Sent packing to minors The Orioles optioned Rogers to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday. Impact Baltimore obviously saw something in Rogers to the point that it surrendered a surprisingly-hefty trade package to acquire him at the deadline, but the club has been unable to fix him. In fact, Rogers has been much worse for the Orioles than he had been with the Marlins this season, collecting a 7.11 ERA and 12:10 K:BB over 19 innings covering four starts since joining his new team. With Rogers out of the picture, Cole Irvin and Cade Povich will continue getting starts for the Orioles, at least until Zach Eflin (shoulder) and/or Grayson Rodriguez (lat) return.
