Jake Rogers - Blasts 13th home runRogers recorded a pinch-hit home run in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.
ImpactRogers took a seat to begin the game, with Eric Haase getting the start behind the plate, but the former made an impact in his lone at-bat during the eighth inning. Rogers now has 13 home runs and a .748 OPS this season, compared to just three long balls and a .506 OPS for Haase. The superior offensive performance should keep Rogers in the lineup most days moving forward.

Zack Short - Drives in three off benchShort went 2-for-3 with a double and three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Pirates. He also stole a base.
ImpactShort didn't enter the contest until the fourth inning, when he pinch hit for Akil Baddoo. He wasted no time making an impact, driving in two on a single in his first at-bat. Short still profiles as more of a utility player at this point who can't be counted on for a consistent fantasy impact, which is reflected in his .673 OPS across 72 games.

Riley Greene - Goes deep in winGreene went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.
ImpactGreene extended his hitting streak to five games, with home runs in two of those contests. The young outfielder had an outstanding July, posting a .343/.405/.537 slash line across 18 games, and he'll look to keep rolling in August and through the end of the season.

Eduardo Rodriguez - Earns win WednesdayRodriguez (7-5) allowed two runs on seven hits across six innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Pirates. He had one walk and five strikeouts.
ImpactA day after vetoing a potential trade to the Dodgers, Rodriguez looked sharp for the Tigers. The lefty now has a strong 2.96 ERA this season, and with the ability to opt out of his five-year, $77 million contract in the offseason, he could be angling for free agency and another big payday. For now, Rodriguez remains in Detroit, and he'll look to build some momentum in his next scheduled start, which is tentatively set for Tuesday against the Twins.
