Brian Rogers - R - Pirates

Pirates designated RHP Brian Rogers for assignment.

Rogers, the reliever the Pirates picked up from the Tigers for Sean Casey in 2006, had a 3.05 ERA with 50 hits allowed and a 65/32 K/BB ratio for Triple-A Indianapolis last season. His fastball is a little below average, but he wouldn't be a bad use of a 40-man roster spot.

Brian Rogers - R - Pirates

Pirates optioned RHP Brian Rogers to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Rogers lost his spot by giving up homers to the only two batters he faced Saturday against the Reds. He allowed three runs in two innings overall.

Brian Rogers - R - Pirates

Pirates recalled RHP Brian Rogers from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Rogers, the pitcher the Pirates got from the Tigers for Sean Casey last year, will pitch in middle relief after amassing a 1.35 ERA in Triple-A.

Brian Rogers - R - Pirates

Brian Rogers is expected to be called up to join the bullpen on Tuesday.

Rogers, who takes the roster spot vacated by Marty McLeary's demotion, has a 1.35 ERA and 16 strikeouts in 20 innings with Triple-A Indianapolis this season. He should take over Shawn Chacon's late-inning role and not have much fantasy value.

Brian Rogers - R - Pirates

Pirates optioned RHP Brian Rogers to Triple-A Indianapols; reassigned RHP Jesse Chavez, 3B-OF Mike Edwards, INF Nick Green and OF Chris Aguila to minor league camp.

Rogers, the pitcher the Pirates got from the Tigers for Sean Casey last year, had a 4.91 ERA and seven strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings. He'll spend time in the Pittsburgh pen before the year is out.

Brian Rogers - R - Pirates

Brian Rogers earned a relief victory for Grand Canyon of the AFL after pitching two scoreless innings on Wednesday.

He struck out three. Rogers, who was acquired from the Tigers for Sean Casey at the deadline, gave up eight runs in 8 1/3 innings after joining the Pirates for the final month of the season. He'll get a chance to claim a spot in Pittsburgh's pen next spring, but he'll probably end up spending at least a month or two in Triple-A.

Thu, Oct 26, 2006 02:56:00 PM

Brian Rogers - R - Pirates

Pirates purchased the contract of RHP Brian Rogers from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Rogers, the reliever the Pirates acquired from the Tigers for Sean Casey, had a 2.12 ERA and an 82/17 K/BB ratio in 76 1/3 innings, most of them coming in Double-A. The Pirates will likely try him in a setup role soon enough.

Mon, Aug 28, 2006 04:42:00 PM

Brian Rogers - R - Pirates

Pirates acquired RHP Brian Rogers from the Tigers for 1B Sean Casey.

The Angels and A's must not have made bids for Casey after all. Rogers has had an excellent season in Double-A, but the 2003 11th-round pick is a 24-year-old reliever with less-than-exceptional stuff. He's not very likely to be a successful setup man in the majors.

	2	John McDonald D.L. John McDonald (back) is also dealing with a right elbow injury. McDonald landed on the DL last week with a lower back strain, but his elbow has also been an issue. The infielder is eligible to return from the DL on May 30, but it's not clear if he'll be ready at that time. May 19
	3	Chase d'Arnaud D.L. Chase d'Arnaud (thumb) began a rehab assignment with High-A Bradenton on Thursday. d'Arnaud has been sidelined since undergoing left thumb surgery late in spring training. He figures to need a few weeks' worth of rehab at-bats but could be optioned to Triple-A after that. May 17

CF	1	Andrew McCutchen Sidelined Andrew McCutchen was scratched from the Pirates' lineup due to pain in his right knee. It's not clear at this point how McCutchen suffered the injury or if it might cause him to miss additional games. The Pirates should offer an update on his status soon. Starling Marte will move over to center field to cover for McCutchen, while Travis Snider plays left and Garrett Jones right. May 19

	3	James McDonald D.L. James McDonald (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Altoona on May 27. That's assuming he gets through bullpen sessions on Tuesday and Friday with no issues. McDonald is slated to go four innings and/or throw 65 pitches for Altoona, so he'll need at least one additional rehab start before being activated. He's not a given to rejoin the rotation once healthy. May 19
	4	Francisco Liriano
	5	Charlie Morton D.L. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Thursday that Charlie Morton (elbow, shoulder) will make three more minor league rehab starts. Morton's rehab from Tommy John surgery was recently halted due to some shoulder soreness, but he returned to game action Thursday with Double-A Altoona and gave up two runs in four innings. If all goes well, he could join the Pirates' rotation in the early part of June. May 16
	6	Jeff Karstens D.L. Jeff Karstens (shoulder) will make his next rehab start Saturday with Double-A Altoona. Karstens, currently working his way back from shoulder inflammation, gave up one run in three innings Monday in his first rehab outing with High-A Bradenton. He could join the Pirates by early June, though it isn't clear what his role will be. May 16
