Ceddanne Rafaela vs Trevor Rogers

The Almanac's Take

Rafaela gets the platoon edge here as a right-handed bat against southpaw Trevor Rogers, and his season line backs it up — .277/.312/.423 with a .735 OPS across 368 PA is a real body of work. Rogers has been hittable in 2025, carrying a 4.28 ERA, 1.3 WHIP, and 10 home runs allowed in 96.2 innings, and his 7.2 K/9 won't scare anyone. The head-to-head is 11 PA deep — a .182 average with 5 strikeouts — which is too thin to mean much, though the 97.3 mph average exit velocity on contact suggests Rafaela has squared him up when he's made contact.
