If Rogers comes back, the rotation has a foundation with Bradish, Shane Baz and Brandon Young, who posted a 3.56 ERA in 28 starts in his first full season. That leaves one open spot, maybe two. Gausman could fill one of them. His 184 strikeouts show his splitter is still an effective pitch. He also has the ability to eat innings which should help ease some of the bullpen’s workload.
