Twins' Taylor Rogers: Nice start to 2017

Rogers has pitched five innings out of the bullpen to start 2017, allowing one run with a 4:2 K:BB.

Analysis:

Rogers has typically entered during the late stages of games, and he's notched three holds. Despite being a lefty, he hasn't been used as a specialist -- he's faced 19 right-handed hitters and just seven left-handed hitters. The 26-year-old is coming off a 2016 season in which he registered a 3.96 ERA with 64 strikeouts over 61.1 innings.
