Brewers acquire reliever Taylor Rogers from Padres

The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers from the San Diego Padres as part of the deal for Josh Hader.

What It Means:

Rogers' 28 saves this season rank second in the league (only behind Hader's 29), but the Padres started to wean him off of closing duties. He could still see some closing opportunities in Milwaukee, but will have to compete with Devin Williams.

Rogers tallied a 4.35 ERA over 41.3 innings with the Padres this season with a 1.11 WHIP, and has 48 strikeouts to 9 walks so far.
