TORONTO - For six innings on Tuesday night, Esmil Rogers confused the Colorado Rockies, holding them to one hit. When his night was over, two outs later in the seventh, Rogers left to a standing ovation, a grin on his face. The reliever-turned-starter has in himself the most important tool for any professional athlete. “Im confident,” said Rogers. “I think that thats the key. The confidence that Gibby and Pete give to me right now is unbelievable. They told me right away, be confident on the mound. I didnt have it in Colorado, Im not going to lie to you, and Ive got a real, unbelievable confidence right now that I can throw any pitch in any count that I want.” Rogers followed up his seven-inning, 93-pitch performance in Thursdays 6-1 win over Texas with 6 2/3 innings of two earned run baseball. He worked ahead and relied on his recently developed two-seam sinking fastball. Of Rogers 20 recorded outs, 14 were either strikeouts or groundouts. “Hes a four-pitch guy now,” said manager John Gibbons. “Coming out of the bullpen hes basically a two-pitch guy but hes added that two-seam fastball, he throws a little curveball now and then to go along with his slider and he actually throws some changeups. “I see much better command than coming out of the bullpen,” Gibbons continued. “The mentality sometimes there is you go in one or two innings and air it out, let it fly. Now hes pitching more. I tell you what: hes got a dynamite arm.” Rogers has a 1.71 ERA over four starts (four earned runs in 21 innings). Understandably, there is a question about whether Rogers arm will hold up given his off-season training program was geared toward middle to late relief. The answer wont be known until later in the season. In the meantime, Rogers will enjoy the ride. He wont stress. “Im not that kind of pitcher, like I come into the stadium the day before I pitch and try to look for the scouting report,” said Rogers. “I know Ive got ability and I know if theyre going to hit, theyre going to hit my pitches. Jose Reyes Update Jose Reyes started and played nine innings at designated hitter for class-A Dunedin, his second rehab outing. Reyes went 1-5 with a single in Dunedins 9-4, 11-inning win over the Yankees affiliate in Tampa. The win clinched the first half division crown for the Blue Jays, assuring the club playoff games when the regular season concludes. Dunedin plays on Wednesday morning at 11:00. Reyes was scheduled to be back at shortstop. Morrow Suffers Setback As Reyes continues to make progress toward an impending return to the Blue Jays, the club got bad news on starter Brandon Morrow. “The forearms still bothering him,” said Gibbons. “Theyre backing him off that rehab, get him re-examined and see where hes at. Same spot, forearm, tenderness.” Morrow started Monday nights game for Single-A Dunedin. He allowed three runs on five hits, including a home run, in two innings. After the game he reported a recurrence of pain in his forearm. In the meantime, hell be shut down from all throwing. Luis Perez Suffers Setback Left-handed reliever Luis Perez, who had Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery last July 17, has suffered a setback in his rehabilitation. Perez, 28, had progressed to Single-A action. He appeared in one game for Dunedin on June 10, pitching two scoreless innings. Perez had a 3.43 ERA in 42 innings, 35 relief appearances, for the Blue Jays in the first half of the 2012 season. The Blue Jays dont believe the setback is serious. Kris Versteeg Jersey .
