JAKE ROGERS NEWS

Catching Sunday Rogers is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact Wilson Ramos will serve as the designated hitter Sunday, opening up catching duties for Rogers with Eric Haase taking left field. The Tigers will likely tread carefully with the 33-year-old Ramos, so Rogers should see a little bit of playing time moving forward, but he probably won't be in the lineup enough to warrant much attention in standard leagues.

Collects two hits in win Rogers went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's win over the Royals.

Impact Rogers batted ninth but still found a way to contribute to the Detroit victory. This was the 26-year-old's first game action since Monday, which is also when Wilson Ramos (back) returned from the injured list. With Ramos active, Rogers is unlikely to play enough to warrant fantasy attention, though the Tigers could give him more playing time if they fully fall out of contention.

Sitting Saturday Rogers is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs.

Impact Rogers drew the start behind the dish Friday night and delivered a solo home run. However, he'll give way to Eric Haase on Saturday, who is hitting seventh while starting behind the plate.

Swats first homer Rogers went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Cubs.

Impact He went back-to-back with Robbie Grossman in the sixth inning to spoil the Cubs' shutout bid. It was Rogers' first homer of the year, and the 26-year-old could provide some short-term fantasy value while Wilson Ramos (back) and Grayson Greiner (hamstring) remain sidelined.

Retreats to bench Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Eric Haase will step in behind the dish in place of Rogers, who appears to have temporarily seized hold of the No. 1 catcher role in Detroit. However, Wilson Ramos (back) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Monday, so Rogers' run atop the depth chart will likely be short-lived.

Temporarily serving as top backstop Rogers will start at catcher and bat ninth Wednesday against the Royals.

Impact With Grayson Greiner (hamstring) joining Wilson Ramos (back) on the 10-day injured list, Rogers looks poised to serve as the Tigers' top backstop in the interim. Rogers' reign atop the depth chart is expected to last less than a week, as Ramos appears on track to return from the IL when first eligible next Monday.

Called up by Detroit Rogers was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Impact The 26-year-old lost the backup job in spring training to Grayson Greiner, but he'll head to the majors Friday with starter Wilson Ramos (back) landing on the injured list. Greiner likely will take over primary duties behind the plate, but Rogers should see occasional opportunities until Ramos can return.

Sent to Triple-A Rogers was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Impact Rogers was battling Grayson Greiner for the backup job behind Wilson Ramos but will wind up losing the contest. Rogers didn't get into a big-league game last season and produced a .125/.222/.259 slash line in his 35-game debut in 2019.

Struggling this spring Rogers is just 2-for-18 with nine strikeouts in Grapefruit League play.

Impact Manager A.J. Hinch previously said defense will be the key to Rogers securing the backup catcher role behind Wilson Ramos, but the organization would certainly like to see a little more offense than this. Rogers struggled when he made his MLB debut back in 2019, posting a .125/.222/.259 slash line with 51 strikeouts across 112 at-bats. Until he cuts down on the whiffs, he'll likely continue to post subpar offensive numbers.

FEBRUARY 24, 2021 • FREEP.COM

Defense will be key to role Detroit manager A.J. Hinch said Rogers' performance behind the plate will determine his playing time more than his bat, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact "I want him to know that he will lose playing time or lose his spot on this roster more because of what he does on defense," Hinch said. "We have to continue to encourage and get the most out of him defensively. That's his No. 1 priority." Rogers struggled to a .125/.222/.259 line during his 35 games in the majors in 2019, but Hinch's comments indicate that he's looking for a strong defensive catcher as a backup to Wilson Ramos and can live with some hiccups at the plate. Rogers and Grayson Greiner figure to battle for that reserve role this spring, with Greiner the presumed early favorite as the more veteran player.

Detroit Tigers' AJ Hinch: Defense is 'No. 1 priority' for catcher Jake Rogers Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch talks Jake Rogers, Wilson Ramos and Wily Peralta on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2021, from spring training.

FEBRUARY 20, 2021 • FREEP.COM

Battling for reserve role Rogers and Grayson Greiner will likely compete this spring to serve as the backup catcher in Detroit behind new addition Wilson Ramos, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact The Tigers signed Ramos to a one-year deal in January, and although the veteran had a down 2020 campaign, he is set to serve as the top backstop in Detroit. That leaves Rogers to battle with Greiner, unless the team opts to carry three catchers, which seems unlikely at this point. Rogers didn't make an appearance for the Tigers last year, but he did play in 35 games in 2019, slashing .125/.222/.259 with four home runs.
