BALTIMORE — The Orioles’ starting rotation has taken another temporary hit.
On Wednesday, Baltimore placed left-hander Trevor Rogers on the 15-day injured list, as the 28-year-old southpaw is dealing with an illness (retroactive to Sunday). Right-handed reliever Cameron Foster was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk as the corresponding move.
Rogers became the 11th player currently on the O’s IL (and the 15th overall to spend time on the injured list this season). The rotation is also without righty Dean Kremer, who went on the IL with a right quad strain last Thursday.
The winner of the 2025 Most Valuable Oriole Award, Rogers has a 4.75 ERA through his first six starts of ‘26. He had a 1.89 ERA over his first three starts, then recorded a 9.53 ERA over his past three outings.
For now, the Orioles’ rotation features four right-handers — Kyle Bradish, Shane Baz, Chris Bassitt and Brandon Young, with Bassitt and Young set to start the two games during Thursday’s traditional doubleheader vs. the Astros at Camden Yards.
Left-hander Cade Povich (who is at Triple-A Norfolk) is likely to rejoin the starting staff in the near future.
Foster rejoins Baltimore’s bullpen after getting optioned to Triple-A on Saturday. The 27-year-old righty had a 6.35 ERA over four relief outings earlier this season, his first stint in the big leagues.
Right-hander Albert Suárez could also be back on the O’s roster soon. The 36-year-old, who was designated for assignment on Sunday, cleared outright waivers on Wednesday and elected free agency in lieu of accepting an outright assignment to Norfolk. However, the Orioles expect to re-sign Suárez to a new Minor League deal.
