Josh Rogers’ 2022 debut, back on March 18th, saw the 27-year-old southpaw throw a quick, 1-2-3 top of the first inning against Miami, before he returned to the hill in the second and gave up a leadoff homer to left-center by Lorenzo Quintana and a double to right by Lewin Diaz which did not amount to anything for the Marlins.
“Felt pretty good for first time out,” Rogers told reporters after the outing.
The left-hander signed with Washington in early June 2021, three days after he was released by the Baltimore Orioles, following four games (and two starts) back following a year off the mound in competitive action during 2020’s 60-game COVID campaign, which he’d spent in rehab mode recovering from Tommy John surgery.
