Rogers worked into and out of trouble a handful of times before being pulled just one out before he could qualify for the win. Nick Fortes made a myriad of errors behind the plate and Rogers did well to stay on track and never let the Mets establish a true rally. He'll take a 4.59 ERA into his next scheduled start against the Brewers in Milwaukee.
He'll be followed by Roddery Munoz, Trevor Rogers and Yonny Chirinos to open the second half. Cabrera ended the first half on a sour note when he served up a whopping four homers on Saturday in a loss to the Reds at Great American Ball Park. The 26-year-old former top pitching prospect has shown flashes of immense potential, but has been maddeningly inconsistent for fantasy purposes over the last few years. The big takeaway here for fantasy managers might be to stream a couple of the lesser-known Mets' hitters this weekend.
Rogers also walked three and struck out four on the day. It's a nearly identical line to his last start when he allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings against the Astros. On Sunday, Rogers induced nine whiffs on 37 swings for a 24 percent whiff rate and 28 percent CSW. With how bad Miami has been, Rogers and his 4.72 ERA just don't offer a lot of upside outside of the deepest formats. He's lined up to face the Mets on Saturday after the All-Star break but is a risky stream in that matchup.
Rogers managed to limit Houston's offense to just a pair of run-scoring singles into the sixth inning, but was forced to settle for a no-decision. He struck out five and only issued a pair of walks, throwing a career-high 107 pitches (64 strikes) in this one. He'll close out the first half on Sunday with a road tilt against the Reds at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park.
