Rogers has struggled at the back end of the bullpen to begin the season for the Giants, allowing runs in five of eight relief appearances for the club. The left-hander will continue to be counted on in late-inning situations despite the disappointing start for the 32-year-old as well as Camilo Doval for manager Gabe Kapler, posting an abysmal 2.36 WHIP with just three strikeouts and one save in eight appearances (0-2) so far this season.

Taylor Rogers has agreed to a three-year, $33 million deal with the San Fransisco Giants.
