Starting pitcher overview
Pitching prospect Grant Rogers will make his Blue Jays debut today.
Rogers really began to make a name for himself when he repeated the High-A level to begin 2025, authoring a 1.82 ERA and 3.40 FIP in 39.2 innings pitched, with a 22.8 K% and 10.5 BB%.
Early into the season, Rogers punched his ticket to Manchester, New Hampshire, joining the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
Over 20 starts, Rogers had a 4.07 ERA and 3.76 FIP in 110.2 innings pitched, with a 16 K% and 4.2 BB%.
As a whole, Rogers had a 3.47 ERA and 3.66 FIP in 150.1 innings pitched, along with a 17.8 K% and 5.9 BB%.
Those 150.1 innings pitched were the most in the Blue Jays' farm system since Patrick Murphy, Zach Logue, and T.J Zeuch all threw 152.2 innings or more during the 2018 season.
Right-hander Will Warren is set to take the mound for the Yankees today as he continues his push toward a full-time role in the rotation.
Warren was a workhorse last season, making all 33 of his starts and finishing with a 4.44 ERA.
He also struck out 171 batters, the highest total among rookie pitchers in 2025, showcasing the swing-and-miss stuff that made him a key part of the club's plans.
