Tigers' Jake Rogers: Pops 21st home run
Rotowire
Rogers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's suspended game against the Royals, which resumed Thursday.
Rogers hit his 21st home run of the season in the eighth inning as he continues to increase his career-best total. He came into the year with 10 total long balls in his first two MLB campaigns. Heading into 2024, Rogers has established some fantasy value due to his power potential and his role as Detroit's top catcher, though his upside is capped due to his high strikeout rate and perennially low batting average.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Goes yard again
Rotowire
Rogers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Dodgers.

He's the eighth catcher to reach the 20-homer mark this season, doubling his total from the last two years combined. The 28-year-old is slashing .221/.288/.451 with 47 RBI, 46 runs scored and a stolen base through 100 contests.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Launches 16th home run
Rotowire
Rogers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.
Rogers went deep in the third inning, giving him 16 home runs for the season. The catcher has been struggling this month with just a .172 batting average, though he has gone deep four times in 20 games. Rogers also has a pretty firm grip on the starting job behind the plate with Eric Haase no longer around. Carson Kelly was signed as a depth option but doesn't offer much of a threat to cut into Rogers' playing time.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Resting for day game
Rotowire
Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
After missing the first two games of the series with a minor hand injury, Rogers returned to the lineup Wednesday and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the Tigers' 6-2 loss. Rogers isn't believed to have suffered a setback with the hand injury Wednesday, so his absence from the lineup Thursday looks to be maintenance-related as the Tigers and Yankees wrap up their series with a day game after a night game.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Available despite hand issue
Rotowire
Rogers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees due to left hand inflammation, though he's expected to be available off the bench, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
It's the second straight absence for Rogers, who suffered the injury last week when his hand was struck on a player where he found guilty of catcher's interference. It doesn't appear to be a serious concern, and the 28-year-old could rejoin the starting nine within the next couple of days. Carson Kelly is receiving his second straight start behind the plate Tuesday for Detroit.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Absent from lineup again
Rotowire
Rogers is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.
Rogers has now sat out two straight and three of the last four in favor of newcomer Carson Kelly. While Rogers is probably still viewed by the Tigers as the starting catcher, it makes sense for the team to be giving Kelly a longer look before they decide whether to pick up his option for 2024.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Heads to bench Monday
Rotowire
Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
Rogers will take a seat for the series opener to make room in the lineup for Carson Kelly, who is making his Tigers debut after signing with the team over the weekend. Kelly (.581 OPS, 58 wRC+ in 92 plate appearances) didn't fare much better during his time with the Diamondbacks this season than Eric Haase did (.530 OPS, 44 wRC+ in 282 plate appearances) had with Detroit prior to being waived, so Rogers' standing atop the depth chart at catcher shouldn't be seriously threatened.
