Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Still limiting to playing catch
Rotowire
Rogers (lat) has been playing catch out to 75 feet up to four times per week as of Friday, MLB.com reports.
The Marlins haven't officially shut Rogers down for the season, but the 25-year-old southpaw already seems to be turning his focus to getting healthy for spring training after suffering a partial tear of his right lat in early June while he was on a rehab assignment. Rogers, who was initially placed on the injured list April 21 with a left biceps strain, is expected to continue his throwing progression through the end of the season even though the Marlins seemingly don't have plans to activate him.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Begins throwing
Rotowire
Rogers (lat) has started playing catch at Single-A Jupiter, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Rogers was initially placed on the injured list in April with a left biceps strain, but he suffered a partial tear in his right lat in late June, extending his stay on the IL. Rogers still has a long way to go in his rehab process, but the news of him throwing again leaves room for optimism regarding a return in September.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Still not throwing
Rotowire
Rogers (right lat tear) is still not throwing as of Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Rogers has a partial tear in his non-throwing shoulder, which has been the reason he hasn't been able to resume a throwing program over the past five weeks. He has been attempting to keep his left arm strong during this shutdown period, but Rogers will likely require multiple rehab starts when he is cleared, since his last rehab start was June 5.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Shut down through All-Star break
Rotowire
Rogers, who has a partial tear in his right (non-throwing) lat, hopes to have better clarity on his timeline after the All-Star break, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Rogers said that his doctors told him they had never seen a non-throwing shoulder injury like his, and he has "a ways to go" even though his range of motion has improved. He is primarily doing lower-body work and whatever he can to keep his left arm strong for when he gets the all-clear to start throwing again. Given that he won't begin a throwing program until after the All-Star break at the earliest, it sounds like Rogers may not be ready to rejoin the big-league rotation until around August. As odd as it seems, his non-throwing shoulder is now the only concern, as his left biceps injury is in the rearview mirror.

Rogers (biceps/shoulder) is still shut down from throwing, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
He logged two excellent rehab starts May 30 and June 4 on his way back from a left biceps strain before getting shut down with right shoulder discomfort. It is unclear when Rogers will be able to resume a throwing program, but it's concerning that something with his non-throwing shoulder has kept him from throwing for multiple weeks.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Transferred to 60-day IL
Rotowire
Rogers (biceps) was returned from his rehab assignment and transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
After Rogers was scratched from his rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville due to discomfort in his non-throwing shoulder Saturday, the left-hander was moved to the 60-day IL. It's unclear whether the transaction was made due to his preexisting biceps injury or the new right shoulder ailment, but the move opens a spot on the 40-man roster for Archie Bradley on the 40-man roster, who had his contract selected by the Marlins on Tuesday. Rogers remains eligible be activated off of the injured list next Tuesday (June 20), though more information on his status will likely come in the near future.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Could make rehab start next week
Rotowire
Rogers (biceps) could make a rehab start early next week for Triple-A Jacksonville if he receives positive medical results Sunday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.
Rogers was scratched from his rehab start Saturday for Jacksonville due to discomfort in his non-throwing shoulder. The left-hander has been on the shelf since the middle of April because of biceps soreness, and he appears to be on the precipice of rejoining the Miami rotation. If Rogers can return to the mound for Jacksonville early next week, his next outing after that could come with Miami.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Scratched from rehab start
Rotowire
Rogers (biceps) was scratched from his scheduled rehab start Saturday with discomfort in his non-throwing shoulder, MLB.com reports.
Rogers has been out since mid-April with biceps soreness. He's made a pair of rehab starts, giving up just two hits in nine scoreless innings, but the Marlins wanted him to make one more before activating him. He felt discomfort in his right shoulder during warm-ups and did not wind up making his scheduled appearance, and it's not yet clear how the Marlins will proceed.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Making another rehab start
Rotowire
Rogers (biceps) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville this weekend, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Rogers threw 70 pitches over five scoreless frames Sunday with Jacksonville, but the Marlins will ask him to make one more rehab appearance in order to get a little more stretched out. The goal is for the left-hander to throw six innings this weekend before rejoining the rotation next week.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Excels in second rehab start
Rotowire
Rogers (biceps) delivered five scoreless innings in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Jacksonville, striking out five while ceding just one hit and one walk.
After striking out seven over four scoreless frames for Single-A Jupiter in his first rehab start last Tuesday, Rogers was similarly effective in his second outing while making a two-level jump in competition. The southpaw, who is building back up from a biceps strain that has kept him on the shelf since April 21, tossed 70 pitches (40 strikes) in Sunday's outing. Though Rogers appears to be stretched out enough to offer something close to a normal workload if he's cleared to make his next start with the big club, the Marlins could push his activation from the 15-day injured list back to next week while back-end rotation arms Edward Cabrera, Braxton Garrett and Eury Perez have all pitched effectively in their recent outings.
Rogers (biceps) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Jupiter starting next week, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
The exact date of when he will pitch hasn't been announced just yet, but it's a positive development that the left-hander will be facing minor leaguers soon. Rogers will likely need to make at least a couple rehab appearances, but he could rejoin the Miami rotation in early June if he has no setbacks.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Will throw again Thursday
Rotowire
Rogers (biceps) is scheduled to throw three innings in an extended spring training game Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Rogers tossed 35 pitches in a bullpen session over the weekend, and he is ready to advance to the next step in his recovery. A rehab assignment is likely in the cards, so a May return to the big leagues should not be expected. However, he may be ready to rejoin Miami's rotation at some point next month.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Throwing bullpen this weekend
Rotowire
Rogers (biceps) will throw a 35-pitch bullpen session some time this weekend at the Marlins' spring training facility, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Rogers started a throwing program two weeks ago as he continues his recovery from a left biceps strain that has sidelined him since late April. He will likely need to throw several bullpens before going on a rehab assignment, but assuming all goes well Rogers could rejoin the Miami rotation late in May or in the early part of June.

Rogers (biceps) will begin a throwing program Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Few weeks from throwing
Rotowire
Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Tuesday that Rogers (biceps) is still a few weeks away from beginning a throwing program, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Rogers landed on the injured list April 21 after being diagnosed with a left biceps strain and can probably be ruled out for most of -- if not all of -- May. The 25-year-old had pitched to a 4.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB through 18 innings (four starts) this season with Miami.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Lands on IL with biceps strain
Rotowire
Rogers was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 20, with a left biceps strain, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Rogers was lifted from his last start Wednesday versus the Giants after experiencing tightness in his throwing arm, and imaging scans ultimately revealed the strain. There is no public timeline yet for his return, but this type of injury usually requires several weeks of rest and rehab. The 25-year-old southpaw leaves behind a 4.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB in four starts covering 18 innings.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Dealing with forearm tightness
Rotowire
Rogers was diagnosed with left forearm tightness after exiting his start Wednesday versus the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Rogers tossed 58 pitches over three innings and struck out three while allowing one run on three hits and one walk prior to departing. While the Marlins are likely to put Rogers through additional testing before the extent of his injury is determined, anything elbow- or forearm-related for a pitcher is obviously concerning. The southpaw will most likely be ticketed for the 15-day injured list, even if follow-up tests don't reveal a forearm strain or any structural damage.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Exits with apparent injury
Rotowire
Rogers was lifted in the fourth inning of his start Wednesday against the Giants with an apparent injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. He gave up one earned run on three hits and struck out three over three frames while exiting with a runner on second and no outs.
Rogers could have more damage on his final line if reliever Jose Soriano lets in the inherited runner, but the more prevailing concern for Rogers' fantasy managers is his health. Though the exact nature of Rogers' injury likely won't be known until later Wednesday, he exited without throwing any warmup tosses upon being visited on the mound by a trainer, with his day ending after just 58 pitches.

Marlins' Trevor Rogers: Fans seven in quality start
Rotowire
Rogers (1-2) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six-plus innings in a 5-1 victory over the Diamondbacks. He struck out seven.
It was the best performance of the season so far for the southpaw, who nabbed his first win and first quality start while tossing 65 of 96 pitches for strikes. Rogers will take a 4.20 ERA and 16:5 K:BB through 15 innings into his next outing, likely to come at home against the Giants.
