Opening day of the Milwaukee Brewers' minor league training camp is three weeks away, but Mark Rogers already has started his spring training.
For the past two weeks, Rogers, a right-handed pitcher from Orr's Island, has been participating in the Brewers' minor league offseason development program in Maryvale, Ariz., preparing to return to the mound after shoulder surgery.
"He's been making very good advances," said Jim Rooney, coordinator of minor league pitching for the Brewers. "I've watched him the last couple of days he's thrown, and everything looks good."
In 2004, Rogers signed for $2.2 million after the Brewers made him the fifth pick in baseball's amateur draft following his senior year at Mt. Ararat High in Topsham.
