Orioles acquire lefty starter Trevor Rogers from Marlins for Norby and Stowers

The Orioles on Tuesday traded for left-handed starter Trevor Rogers from the Miami Marlins in exchange for second baseman Connor Norby and outfielder Kyle Stowers.

It’s the Orioles’ third trade in advance of Tuesday’s 6 p.m. trade deadline. On Friday, they dealt outfielder Austin Hays to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez and outfielder Christian Pace. They also acquired right-handed starter Zach Eflin from Tampa Bay for three prospects.

The 26-year-old Rogers, who won’t be a free agent until the end of the 2026 season, is 2-9 with a 4.53 ERA in 21 starts for Miami. Since June 1st, Rogers has a 3.48 ERA in 10 starts. In five seasons with the Marlins, he is 15-23 with a 4.53 ERA.

Norby, who was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk last week to replace the injured Jorge Mateo at second base, is hitting .188 (6-for-23) with two home runs and three RBIs. He homered in the Orioles’ 7-6 win at Miami last Thursday.

Stowers hit .309 with a homer and nine RBIs but was never given extensive playing time with the Orioles.

Rogers could be slotted at the back end of the rotation, behind Corbin Burnes, Grayson Rodriguez, Eflin and Dean Kremer.

The Orioles added utility infielder Terrin Vavra to replace Norby. Top prospect Jackson Holliday is just getting back to playing the field after being sidelined by elbow inflammation.
