Jake Rogers - Starting Saturday Rogers is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Saturday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact Rogers takes over as the backstop with Eric Haase getting the day off. The former already has two home runs in just 12 at-bats this season, so it makes sense that the Tigers are looking to get his bat in the lineup more frequently. Moving forward, Haase can also play in left field, so Rogers may be able to secure more regular playing time if he keeps hitting well.

Kerry Carpenter - Slides in at DH Carpenter is starting at designated hitter and batting fourth in Saturday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact With Miguel Cabrera getting a day off, Carpenter takes over as the DH. The latter has been playing frequently in the early going against righties but sitting against southpaws. With righty Tanner Houck on the bump for Boston, Carpenter will get a chance to build on his .250/.357/.500 slash line across 12 at-bats.

Eric Haase - Day off Saturday Haase is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact Haase started the past four games -- two at catcher, two in left field -- and will receive a breather Saturday after starting the year 3-for-23 with eight strikeouts. Jake Rogers has clubbed two early homers and will take over behind the plate.

Miguel Cabrera - Out of Saturday's lineup Cabrera is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact Cabrera is 3-for-17 with a double, two walks and two RBI through five games and will take a seat for Saturday's contest. Kerry Carpenter will serve as the designated hitter while Matt Vierling starts in right field.

Tyler Nevin - Activated and optioned Nevin was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday and optioned to Triple-A Toledo, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Nevin went 11-for-18 on his rehab assignment, showing no ill effects of the oblique injury which landed him on the injured list to begin the season. He should get a shot with the big club eventually but for now will head to Toledo.

Mason Englert - Pitching well so far Englert, who tossed 1.1 scoreless innings in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox, now has a 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP this season.
Impact It's a small sample size of just 5.1 innings, but Englert has looked good out of the bullpen. The righty only has one strikeout, however, so he may not be able to sustain his success if he doesn't miss more bats. Englert is locked into a middle relief role for now, which limits his fantasy appeal, though he could see higher leverage work down the road if he continues to pitch well.

Jake Rogers - Blasts home run Thursday Rogers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.
Impact Rogers went deep against Chris Sale in the second inning, giving the Detroit catcher his second home run this season in just 12 at-bats. Eric Haase started in left field Thursday, and if the Tigers do that more often, Rogers could see a larger role behind the plate. For now, he's still Haase's primary backup at the catcher position, but Rogers looks like a sneaky play whenever he's in the lineup due to his power potential.

APRIL 6, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Spencer Turnbull - Battled neck stinger Thursday Turnbull said he battled a neck stinger toward the end of his start Thursday against the Red Sox, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Turnbull had to turn his neck abruptly while attempting to dodge a comebacker off the bat of Enrique Hernandez in the top of the sixth inning. He stayed in the game initially, but his velocity was down and he ultimately got lifted after giving up a single, a double and a walk in the same frame. The 30-year-old right-hander yielded five total earned runs on five hits and two walks while falling to 0-2 on the season. He tallied only one strikeout. Up next is a tough road start versus the Blue Jays.
