Blue Jays reliever Tyler Rogers joins Team USA at the World Baseball Classic

"Rogers provides a boost to a Team USA squad ahead of their quarterfinal matchup in Houston. The right-hander has been a dominant bullpen arm since making his debut in 2019, owning a 2.76 ERA and a 3.31 FIP through 424 innings with a 1.6 BB/9 and a 6.5 K/9. With his different arm angle, Rogers limits the hard contact and generates a ton of groundballs, evidenced by his 56.6% groundball rate over his career."

"Last season with the Giants and Mets, Rogers crafted a 1.98 ERA across 77 1/3 innings while making a league high 81 appearances. He signed a three-year deal with the Blue Jays this past winter, the biggest free-agent addition in the bullpen for Toronto."

Tyler Rogers, a Blue Jays reliever, has been activated to Team USA's roster for their quarterfinal matchup against Team Canada. Rogers was selected from the designated pitcher pool available to advancing nations. He will be joined by Tigers reliever Will Vest and Yankees reliever Tim Hill, while several other pitchers return to their Spring Training camps. Rogers brings significant value as a dominant bullpen arm with a 2.76 ERA and 3.31 FIP across 424 career innings. His unique arm angle generates a 56.6% groundball rate, limiting hard contact. Last season, Rogers posted a 1.98 ERA across 77⅓ innings with 81 appearances for the Giants and Mets. He recently signed a three-year deal with Toronto as the team's biggest bullpen free-agent addition.
