The Giants placed Rogers on waivers Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Rogers has been a valuable piece of San Francisco's bullpen this season, posting a 2.45 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 51.1 innings. However, in an effort to shed payroll, the Giants will now allow any other team to take him in, as long as they are willing to pay the remaining $2 million left on his salary this year and the $12 million he's owed in 2025. If no other club is willing to take on the additional salary, Rogers will simply remain with the Giants.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Takes extra-inning loss
Rotowire
Rogers (1-4) allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out one over one inning, taking the extra-inning loss Monday versus Atlanta.
Rogers gave up the lone run of the game on a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning. He's been fairly steady since the start of July, posting a 2.63 ERA over 13.2 innings in that span, just a touch worse than his 2.25 ERA for the year. He's added a 1.19 WHIP, 56:15 K:BB and five holds over 48 innings overall. While the Giants' bullpen has been restructured after Camilo Doval was demoted to Triple-A last week, Rogers is still unlikely to see much high-leverage work, with Ryan Walker just named the closer and Tyler Rogers and Jordan Hicks slotting in as the preferred setup men.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Handed third loss
Rotowire
Rogers (1-3) allowed a run on two hits and struck out one in one-third of an inning, taking the loss Saturday versus the Twins.
Rogers served up a go-ahead solo home run to Carlos Santana in the sixth inning, and the Giants couldn't bounce back from it. This was Rogers' first loss in two months, and prior to Saturday he had given up just two runs (one earned) over his prior 22 innings. He's now at a 2.15 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB through 37.2 innings while adding four holds in a middle-relief role this year.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Stuck with loss Monday
Rotowire
Rogers (1-2) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and one walk while striking out two over one inning, taking the extra-inning loss versus the Dodgers on Monday.
Will Smith hit a two-run double off Rogers with one out in the 10th inning, and the Giants were unable to answer it in their half of the frame. Rogers remains inconsistent -- he's given up four runs (three earned) over six innings in May, but he also has a 12:1 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's at a 4.11 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB with three holds over 15.1 innings.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Posts first win
Rotowire
Rogers (1-1) struck out two and hit one batter without allowing a hit, walk or run over two-thirds of an inning, earning the win Saturday versus the Reds.
Rogers relieved Mason Black in the fifth inning, and while he faced a bases-loaded situation, he was able to escape the jam unscathed. Rogers has kept runs off the board in four of his six appearances in May while posting a 10:0 K:BB over five innings. The southpaw is at a 3.77 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB with three holds through 14.1 innings overall.
Rogers (0-1) took the extra-inning loss Saturday versus the Pirates, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits while striking out two over one inning.
Rogers gave up back-to-back home runs to Bryan Reynolds and Ke'Bryan Hayes in the 10th inning. Jorge Soler got two of those runs back in the bottom half of the frame, but the Giants couldn't come up with consecutive walk-off wins. Rogers hadn't given up a run over his previous six outings before Saturday. He's at a 4.32 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB through 8.1 innings this season, and he's added two holds but remains unlikely to challenge Camilo Doval for save chances.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Sloppy early in spring
Rotowire
Rogers has allowed four unearned runs on three hits and two walks over 1.2 innings in Cactus League play.
Rogers is a two-time 30-save man, but he'll have a tough time leapfrogging Camilo Doval and Tyler Rogers in the late-inning mix. The left-handed Rogers had a 3.83 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 64:25 K:BB over 51.2 innings last season, adding two saves and 12 holds. He could still see the occasional save chance, but he struggled mightily versus right-handed hitters last season, so his usage could end up being more situational than his fellow late-inning relievers.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Exits with back tightness
Rotowire
Rogers exited Sunday's game against the Dodgers with lower-back tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The season is over and the Giants aren't in the playoffs, so Rogers will have all offseason to get right. He gave up three earned runs on four hits and zero walks while striking out one before exiting.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Picks up one-out save
Rotowire
Rogers retired the only batter he faced to pick up his second save of the year in an 11-10 win over the Rockies on Sunday.
The Giants entered the ninth inning with a five-run lead and wound up escaping with the win after a fielding error by Camilo Doval extended the game. Rogers wound up replacing Doval with a man on first to face Charlie Blackmon and got him to line out to end the game. Rogers has given up four runs in 4.2 innings pitched in September but also has picked up a save and a hold in six appearances. Overall, Rogers has a 3.06 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 60:24 K:BB, 12 holds and two saves in 50 innings this year.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Earns sixth win
Rotowire
Rogers (6-4) struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the win Monday over the Angels.
Rogers kept the Giants within a run in the eighth inning, and their offense took over in the ninth to rally for the 8-3 win. The southpaw has allowed one unearned run, seven hits and four walks while racking up eight strikeouts over his last 9.1 innings. For the season, he's maintained a 2.52 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 46:19 K:BB with a save and seven holds through 39.1 innings as a key late-inning option in the Giants' steady bullpen.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Takes loss Monday
Rotowire
Rogers (5-4) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk over one inning to take the loss in extra innings versus the Diamondbacks. He did not record a strikeout.
The Giants were able to rally from behind to tie the game in the 10th inning, but they didn't have a second comeback in them. Rogers saw his 6.1-inning scoreless streak come to a close. Since he only gave up an unearned run, he didn't do damage to his ERA, which is at 2.65 with a 1.10 WHIP and 44:18 K:BB through 37.1 innings this season. Rogers has added six holds and a save while filling a versatile role that often sees him picking up late-inning work.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Picks up win Saturday
Rotowire
Rogers (5-3) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one over a scoreless inning to earn the win Saturday over the Pirates.
Rogers became the pitcher of record when the Giants took the lead in the top of the eighth inning. This was a good bounce-back for the left-hander to begin the second half after he allowed two runs in his last outing before the All-Star break. He's mostly been a reliable option for the Giants with a 3.19 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 39:16 K:BB with a save and four holds over 31 innings.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Handed loss Friday
Rotowire
Rogers (4-3) allowed two runs on two walks and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Friday versus the Rockies.
Rogers threw just 10 of 21 pitches for strikes to begin the seventh inning, and his brother, Tyler Rogers, was then tagged for a three-run home run by Ezequiel Tovar. This was the first time since April 12 that the southpaw Rogers has given up multiple runs, and it's just the fourth appearance in that span that he's been scored on at all. He owns a 3.30 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 38:15 K:BB through 30 innings while adding a save and four holds. Despite Friday's misstep, he should continue to be a high-leverage option.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Collects fourth win
Rotowire
Rogers (4-2) allowed a hit and struck out one over one scoreless inning to earn the win Saturday over the Diamondbacks.
Rogers' scoreless streak is now a month long, spanning 13 innings in which he's given up five hits and four walks while striking out 22. The impressive stretch has trimmed his ERA to 2.67 with a 1.07 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB over 27 innings this season. He's added a save and three holds, and he'd likely be first in line for a save chance Sunday since Camilo Doval has pitched three times in four days and Tyler Rogers has four appearances over the Giants' last five games.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Picks up win
Rotowire
Rogers (3-2) allowed one walk and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the extra-innings win over the Dodgers on Friday.
Rogers worked the 10th inning and kept the game tied before the Giants pulled ahead in the 11th. He's now on a 10.1-inning scoreless streak with a 20:3 K:BB over that impressive span. The southpaw has effectively shaken off his slow start to the year and now has a 2.96 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB with three holds and a save through 24.1 innings. He's still seeing high-leverage assignments, though not necessarily in areas where he can rack up holds.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Earns second win
Rotowire
Rogers (2-2) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out three over a scoreless inning to earn the win Wednesday over the Rockies.
Rogers made things interesting but kept the Giants within a run in the seventh inning. He's pitched 6.1 consecutive scoreless innings, and he's given up just one run in his last 18 appearances. The southpaw got off to a rough start in 2023, but he's recovered to a 3.54 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB through 20.1 innings while adding a save and three holds in 24 appearances. He should continue to feature as part of the bridge to closer Camilo Doval.

Giants' Taylor Rogers: Nabs first win
Rotowire
Rogers (1-2) struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the win Tuesday over the Phillies.
Rogers entered after Alex Cobb unleashed a wild pitch with runners on the corners to tie the game. Rogers was able to escape trouble and then log an out in the fifth before John Brebbia entered the contest. Over his last 12 appearances, Rogers has allowed one run, six hits and four walks while striking out 10. He had plenty of struggles early in the season, but he's finding a bit more success without a late-innings role. The reliever has a 4.73 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 11:9 K:BB with a save and two holds through 13.1 innings overall.
