Veteran lefty Rogers files for free agency New York, NY (Sports Network) - Veteran hurler Kenny Rogers was the only
player to file for free agency on Tuesday.
The 20-year journeyman went 9-13 last season in 30 starts for the Detroit
Tigers, his third year with the club. His 5.70 earned run average was his
highest since 2001, when he was tagged with a 6.19 ERA in 20 outings with the
Texas Rangers.
The 44-year-old lefty has appeared in 762 games -- 474 career starts -- with
Texas, Oakland, Minnesota, Detroit and both New York franchises, compiling a
219-156 record with a 4.27 ERA.
Reliever Joel Zumaya is currently pain-free and has a full range of motion in his right shoulder, MLB.com reports. Zumaya missed the last six weeks of the season due to a stress fracture in the joint. He is not yet able to throw, but the club is encouraged. "You couldn't make a conclusion today, but we're pleased with the progress," vice president and assistant general manager Al Avila admits.
