Hits fourth home run Rogers went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 13-5 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Rogers joined in on the slug fest Monday, as Detroit hit three home runs as a team and Cleveland launched two bombs. The Detroit catcher now has four home runs this season to go along with a .741 OPS. It's solid if not spectacular production, and as the team's best healthy defender behind the plate, he should remain in the lineup most days moving forward.

Sits for evening game Rogers will be on the bench for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Rogers went 0-for-1 with a sacrifice bunt in the first game of the day. Unsurprisingly, he won't be asked to start behind the plate twice in one day, so Eric Haase will take over for him at catcher.

Starting first game Saturday Rogers is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros.

Impact Rogers got a day off Thursday but will reenter the lineup for Saturday's matinee after Friday's contest was rained out.

Haase will occupy left field in the first game Saturday and could spell Rogers behind the plate later in the day.

Detroit Tigers' Jake Rogers talks about Jonathan Schoop: 'He's incredible' Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers talks Tuesday, June 22, 2021, after his team's 8-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals at Comerica Park.

JUNE 23, 2021 • FREEP.COM

Drives in three Tuesday Rogers went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, a run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

Impact Rogers was productive from the No. 9 spot in the batting order, and it looks like he's taking over as the primary catcher in Detroit, as this was his third start in a row. Eric Haase remains in the picture, but Rogers is considered the better defensive player and he's also two years younger, so the Tigers may be inclined to keep rolling him out there.

Emerging as No. 1 catcher Rogers will start at catcher and bat ninth Tuesday against the Cardinals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact With Eric Haase stuck in 5-for-36 slump at the dish over his last 10 games, Rogers -- the superior defender of the two -- appears to have taken over as the Tigers' preferred backstop. Rogers will stick in the lineup for the third game in a row, and he'll draw the start over Haase for the second straight contest against a right-handed starting pitcher (Johan Oviedo). While Rogers appears to have drawn positive reviews for his receiving and game-calling skills, he's struggled with the bat, as expected. Through 11 games in June, Rogers is hitting .206 while striking out 47.4 percent of the time.

Starting Sunday Rogers is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact The Tigers are sliding Eric Haase over to left field, which opens up the catcher spot for Rogers. The team recently said Haase would have a larger role moving forward, which should include starts behind the plate and in the outfield. That will leave Rogers to fill in at catcher whenever Haase is somewhere else in the field, at least while Wilson Ramos (back) and Grayson Greiner (hamstring) are on the injured list.

Impact The catcher went deep in the fifth inning off Seattle starter Chris Flexen for his second homer of the year. Rogers is slashing .225/.295/.400 with four RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in 45 plate appearances. He'll continue to split time behind the dish with Eric Haase until one of Wilson Ramos (back) or Grayson Greiner (hamstring) is ready to return.
