Rogers is a 34-year-old veteran lefty who will give the Cubs more bullpen depth down the stretch.

He has a 2.40 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 40 relief appearances with the Reds this season. He has been hot of late as he hasn't allowed a run in his last 12 appearances.

During his 10-year MLB career, he has a 3.28 ERA in 549 appearances. He was an All-Star in 2021.
