Polarizing Trevor Rogers making the case to be your next fantasy baseball flier

19-07-2025

Today, we are going to pretend to be Gabriel John Utterson as we investigate the 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.'
Playing the roles of Dr. Henry Jekyll and the cruel Edward Hyde is Orioles left-hander Trevor Rogers.
When Rogers was last truly Dr. Jekyll in 2021, he was named an All-Star and finished second in Rookie of the Year voting after going 7-8 with a 2.64 ERA, 10.6 strikeouts per nine, .214 opponents' average and 14.1 percent swinging-strike rate in 25 starts.
Much to the dismay of fantasy managers, everything devolved into chaos from 2022-24, when the evil Mr. Hyde took over as Rogers went 7-24 with a 5.09 ERA and 1.520 WHIP in 52 starts. The Dr. Jekyll version of Rogers faded during that time, rarely to be trusted in fantasy rotations, as Mr. Hyde ultimately took over.

Mets' Starling Marte ‘didn't miss a beat' in return from injury

Try it free SAN FRANCISCO — Starling Marte was contributing offensively for the Mets before he hit the injured list in early July, and since his return, he has regained that momentum. The veteran DH now has six hits in his 10 at-bats since his activation from the IL last week after going 2-for-3 with a walk in the Mets' 5-3 win over the Giants on Sunday. Marte missed two weeks after receiving a gel injection for discomfort in his right knee. 'He's been huge,' manager Carlos Mendoza said before the victory. 'He continues to give us solid at-bats against lefties, righties. He goes down and missed a few days, and then he comes back and seems like he didn't miss a beat.' 3 Starling Marte #6 of the New York Mets reacts after hitting a double in the top of the fourth inning against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on July 26, 2025 in San Francisco, California. Getty Images Marte entered play with a .262/.364/.412 slash line with four homers and 20 RBIs. In the starting lineup again Sunday, Marte reached base three times for the second straight day. Mendoza's other option would have been to start Mark Vientos as the DH. 'I am going to try to keep [Marte] in the lineup, but at the same time, I am going to continue to monitor him,' Mendoza said. 'I'm going to continue to give him days off and get his feedback. He's usually pretty honest with us, so we'll go game by game and series by series.' 3 Starling Marte #6, Juan Soto #22 and Ronny Mauricio #10 of the New York Mets celebrates in the dugout after Soto hit a solo home run against the San Francisco Giants in the top of the seventh inning at Oracle Park on July 27, 2025 in San Francisco, California. Getty Images Paul Blackburn was sharp in a potential final rehab start for Triple-A Syracuse. The right-hander allowed one earned run on five hits with six strikeouts and one walk over 6 ¹/₃ innings. Blackburn, who is rehabbing a shoulder impingement, could next rejoin the team as a long reliever/sixth starter, but Mendoza indicated a decision won't be reached until at least Monday.
