Orioles Put Trevor Rogers on 15-Day IL With Illness

Baltimore faces a thinned rotation with a flu circulating through the clubhouse.

Overview

  • Trevor Rogers, whose IL stint was announced Wednesday, is out at least through May 10 with the move retroactive to April 26 and a return eligible May 11.
  • The Orioles recalled right-hander Cameron Foster from Triple-A Norfolk as a corresponding move after a rainout forced a Thursday doubleheader against Houston.
  • Manager Craig Albernaz said Rogers has a flu that has hit the team, noting the lefty has been away from the park and lacked the strength to take his next turn.
  • With Zach Eflin done for the year after UCL surgery and Dean Kremer on the IL with a quad strain, Baltimore has leaned on Brandon Young and still needs a starter for Friday in New York.
  • MLB.com reported lefty Cade Povich could be called up on regular rest for Friday, and long man Albert Suárez cleared waivers, elected free agency, and is expected to re-sign on a minor-league deal.
