The 34-year-old Rogers went 1-4 with a 2.40 ERA in 64 appearances for the Giants last season. He struck out 64 and walked 22 in 60 innings.
He is 28-34 with a 3.34 ERA and 83 saves in a career that has included stops with the Minnesota Twins (2016-21), San Diego Padres (2022), Milwaukee Brewers (2022) and Giants (2023-24).
Roxby, who turns 26 on March 12, was 0-4 with three saves and a 5.21 ERA in 39 relief appearances for Double-A Chattanooga last season. He struck out 65 and walked 24 in 48 1/3 innings.
The Reds also designated right-handed pitcher Owen White for assignment.
