Ernie Clement is set to have company from the Toronto Blue Jays on Team USA.

Reliever Tyler Rogers is set to join the United States ahead of Friday’s quarter-finals matchup with Canada.

Rogers’s arrival is one of three roster moves made with pitchers Tarik Skubal, Michael Wacha and Ryan Yarbrough all departing the squad after the preliminary round. Joining Rogers are Detroit Tigers righty Will Vest and New York Yankees lefty Tim Hill.

A submariner, the 35-year-old Rogers signed a three-year, $37 million deal with the Blue Jays in the offseason. A seven-year veteran, the Denver native spent the first six-plus seasons of his career with the San Francisco Giants before finishing last season with the New York Mets.

Rogers is the twin brother of Minnesota Twins reliever Taylor Rogers.
