Ramirez went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Orioles.
Ramirez provided the power surge for Cleveland, taking Trevor Rogers deep twice with a pair of solo shots, including one on the first pitch of the fourth inning. The performance continues a strong stretch at the plate, as he's now homered four times over his last nine games while stealing eight bases and posting a 1.413 OPS in that span. The veteran is also closing in on history, sitting at 291 career homers and 297 stolen bases -- putting him on the verge of becoming just the ninth player in MLB history to reach 300 in both categories.

Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Hit hard during loss
Rotowire
Rogers (2-2) took the loss Sunday against the Guardians, allowing six runs (five earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings.
Rogers ran into trouble in the middle innings, as four of his six runs came in the fourth, highlighted by a first-pitch homer from Jose Ramirez, who went on to leave the yard again an inning later. The southpaw also contributed to his own issues defensively in the third, missing the bag on a play at first that allowed an unearned run to score later. Sunday marks back-to-back starts in which Rogers has allowed four or more earned runs, a step back after his strong start to the season. The 28-year-old now holds a 4.08 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB across 28.2 innings and is scheduled to face Boston in his next outing.

Guardians' George Valera: Idle against southpaw
Rotowire
Valera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Though he'll head to the bench against southpaw Trevor Rogers, Valera had been seeing steady playing time against right-handed pitching since being activated from the injured list Monday. He started four of the Guardians' previous five contests, going 4-for-14 with two doubles and two RBI.

Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Tagged with first loss of year
Rotowire
Rogers (2-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up four runs on nine hits and a walk over 4.2 innings as the Orioles fell 4-3 to the Diamondbacks. He struck out six.
The southpaw failed to deliver a quality start for the first time in four trips to the mound to begin the season, getting the hook after 99 pitches (61 strikes). Rogers still sports a 3.04 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB through 23.2 innings, and he'll look to bounce back in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend in Cleveland.

Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Fans six across six innings
Rotowire
Rogers did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing two runs on six hits and striking out six over six innings. He did not issue a walk.
Rogers continued his strong start to the season Tuesday, turning in his third consecutive quality start. The 28-year-old's only damage came in the third inning when he allowed three straight hits, but he kept his composure afterward and stranded runners at the corners in both the fifth and sixth to limit further scoring. The left-hander now owns a 1.89 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB across 19 innings of work and will look to keep things rolling in his next scheduled outing against Arizona.

Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Collects second win
Rotowire
Rogers (2-0) picked up the win Wednesday. allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over six innings in an 8-3 victory over the Rangers. He struck out three.
Baltimore's offense jumped on Nathan Eovaldi early, and Rogers already had a 4-0 lead before Texas got to the southpaw for a couple runs in the fourth inning. Rogers has delivered back-to-back quality starts to begin the season, posting a 1.38 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB through 13 innings. He'll look to extend his win streak in his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the White Sox.

Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Stellar in Opening Day win
Rotowire
Rogers (1-0) earned the win Thursday over the Twins, allowing three hits and four walks across seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.
Rogers picked up where he left off in 2025, when he posted a sparkling 1.81 ERA with a 0.90 WHIP and 103:29 K:BB across 18 starts (109.2 innings). The southpaw needed only 88 pitches to make it through seven scoreless innings Thursday, which is particularly impressive given that he didn't have his best command. Rogers will look to keep rolling his next time out, currently slated for next week at home against the Rangers.
The Orioles have named Rogers their Opening Day starter.
Rogers will face the Twins and presumably Joe Ryan on March 26. After struggling following his midseason acquisition from the Marlins in the summer of 2024, Rogers was great in 18 starts last season, posting a 9-3 record, 1.81 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 103:29 K:BB across 109.2 innings. It will obviously be difficult for Rogers to replicate those numbers, but he's more than earned the nod for Opening Day.
