JAKE ROGERS NEWS

Productive in win Saturday Rogers went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 13-4 win over the White Sox.

Impact After getting Friday off, Rogers returned with a bang Saturday to help power the offense. The 29-year-old is splitting time behind the plate with rookie Dillon Dingler, who will likely get Sunday's matinee contest. Rogers has taken a step back from 2023, when he blasted 21 home runs and posted a .730 OPS. This season, Rogers has nine long balls and a .603 OPS through 78 games, and Dingler may see his role grow down the stretch if the Tigers fall out of contention and want to take a look at younger players.

Idle Tuesday Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Resting in series finale Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

Impact After driving in a career-high seven runs in the Tigers' 15-1 win Tuesday in the series opener, Rogers was awarded a second straight start at catcher Wednesday, but he went hitless in three at-bats in Detroit's 3-2 victory. He'll give way to Dillon Dingler behind the plate in the series finale, and the two backstops seem poised to operate in a timeshare moving forward.

AUGUST 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in seven runs Tuesday Rogers went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a grand slam and seven total RBI in Tuesday's 15-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact It was an unexpected monster performance for Rogers, who came into the contest mired in a 1-for-23 slump and sporting just a .591 OPS overall. The seven RBI in a game are also a new career high for the catcher. While Rogers provided a huge jolt Tuesday, his fantasy value moving forward will be capped if he continues to split time behind the plate with Dillon Dingler.

Resting Sunday Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact Rogers had started behind the plate in the previous two contests, but he'll hit the bench for the series finale with Kansas City while Dillon Dingler handles catching duties. The two backstops could be deployed in a timeshare until one clearly separates himself from the other as the preferred option.

AUGUST 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench in Dingler's debut Rogers is out of the lineup Monday against the Guardians.

Impact Rogers had started behind the plate in three of the Tigers' last four games, but he'll be back on the bench for the series opener with Cleveland. Even after the Tigers traded fellow catcher Carson Kelly away to the Rangers on Sunday, Rogers could find himself as the No. 2 backstop for Detroit. The Tigers promoted Dillon Dingler from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, and he'll be put to work right away as the team's starting catcher. Like Rogers, Dingler is regarded as a glove-first catcher, but he might bring more offensive upside to the table after breaking out with a .938 OPS over 301 plate appearances at Toledo this season.

Starting Saturday Rogers is starting at catcher and batting sixth in Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Carson Kelly got the start in Friday's contest with Rogers on the bench, but the two will flip flop Saturday. To date, Kelly has appeared in 56 games, while Rogers will be at 60 games following his start Saturday. With the two catchers splitting time fairly evenly, their fantasy ceilings will remain capped. Rogers hasn't helped his cause much when he's been in the lineup, as he's sitting with a .597 OPS, down from the .730 figure he posted last year.

Impact Rogers is on the bench for the third time in four games to close out of the All-Star break. Carson Kelly will get the nod behind the plate once again Sunday, but the Tigers' catching situation remains fluid. Manager A.J. Hinch will likely ride the hotter bat of the two, and right now, Kelly looks to be the favored option. Kelly will head into Sunday's contest with a seven-game hitting streak.

Returns to lineup Sunday Rogers is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Rogers was out of the lineup Saturday, marking his third absence in the last four games, but he's back in there Sunday in place of Carson Kelly. Based on the recent playing time, it seems like Kelly has pulled ahead as Detroit's top catching option, though Rogers could swing things back in his favor if he starts driving the ball over the wall more frequently.
