The Detroit Tigers placed catcher Jake Rogers (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a left-oblique strain and recalled catcher Tomas Nido up from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move. The Tigers also shifted outfielder Wenceel Perez (back) to the 60-day injured list to make room for Nido on the 40-man roster. Rogers lands on the IL after injuring himself taking swings before Tuesday's win over the visiting New York Yankees. Dillon Dingler, who homered on Tuesday, will now take over as Detroit's primary backstop. It's unclear if the 29-year-old Rogers will be able to return when he's eligible to come off the IL on April 18. Before his injury on Tuesday, Rogers had gone 4-for-18 with a triple, three runs scored, four walks and five strikeouts in six games played. Dingler is now on the radar for those in two-catcher and AL-only leagues.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (oblique) has been scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup against the New York Yankees at Comerica Park due to left-oblique tightness, according to The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen. Dillon Dingler will take over behind the plate to catch left-hander Tarik Skubal while batting seventh against Yankees right-hander Carlos Carrasco. Rogers came into Tuesday's game hitting .222 (4-for-18) with a triple, four walks and five strikeouts in his first six games of the 2025 season. Dingler is the only other catcher on Detroit's big-league roster, so there's a good chance we'll see Rogers land on the injured list o that the Tigers aren't short-handed at the position. Dingler has gone 6-for-19 with a homer, triple and six RBI in his first six games of the season. He has never faced Carrasco in his two MLB seasons.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. As expected, Rogers will split up the catching duties after going 1-for-3 with a walk during the season opener. Now, Dillon Dingler will do the catching and bat seventh versus right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Friday. Dingler has the potential to put up good power numbers, but isn't someone that needs to be rostered while stuck in a platoon situation.

According to Evan Woodbery of MassLive.com, the Detroit Tigers catchers Jake Rogers and Dillon Dingler are expected to split duties during the 2025 season. Rogers spent the entire 2024 season with Detroit and held a .197/.255/.352 line with 16 doubles and 10 home runs. He was graded as an elite defender as he tallied eight blocks above average and was placed in the 91st percentile in framing. Dingler made his MLB debut late in the season and joined the Tigers during their postseason run. Across 27 games, the Ohio State product held a .167/.195/.310 line with one home run. However, at Triple-A, the former second-round selection posted a strong .308/.379/.559 slash line with 15 doubles, 17 long balls, and 52 RBI. While Rogers will likely operate as the No. 1 option, Dingler could be worth a look in deeper AL-only formats as he flashed elite hitting upside at the top level of the minor leagues. If he has a successful spring training, he could even begin to earn a larger share of the starts early into the season.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (wrist) is behind the dish and is batting eighth for the Tigers in the decisive Game 5 of the American League Division Series on Saturday at Progressive Field against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Matthew Boyd. Rogers left the Game 4 loss early on Thursday with a wrist injury, but he's good to go after an off day on Friday and after X-rays on his wrist came back negative. The 29-year-old backstop hit under .200 in 310 regular-season bats in 2024 with 10 home runs and 36 RBI, so he's not much of an offensive force. However, he's been hot during the playoffs for the upstart Tigers, going 5-for-18 (.278) with a double, RBI, three walks and three runs scored in his first six playoff games. Rogers has only faced Boyd twice in his career and is hitless with a strikeout. He hit just .169 (14-for-83) with one of his 10 homers against lefties during the regular season.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (hand, wrist) told reporters on Friday that he should be good to go Saturday for their pivotal Game 5 against the Cleveland Guardians. Rogers took a few foul balls off his left hand during Game 4 and was pinch hit for in the bottom of the ninth. X-rays came back clean, and he received treatment Friday morning. Rogers said his hand is a little sore but is doing better than expected. His presence won't be much of a boon from a fantasy perspective, as his bat isn't the greatest, but it will be great news for Tigers fans overall, as Rogers has been the only catcher that Game 5 starter Tarik Skubal has pitched to all season. Any change to the presumptive AL Cy Young winner's secret sauce in a series finale may not be the smartest move. DFS managers shouldn't expect much value out of Rogers at the plate, though his value behind the plate will be much greater to Skubal and Tigers fans alike.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers was seen after Thursday's ALDS game with his left wrist and forearm wrapped. He also underwent x-rays to determine the severity of the injury. Rogers played all nine innings at catcher, but was pinch-hit for in the bottom of the ninth. The Tigers will not have more details until Friday, but if Rogers can't play in Game 5 they will likely turn to rookie Dillon Dingler behind the dish. It would be a big spot for the 26-year-old, who only has 84 big-league at-bats.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers played a large part in Tuesday's 15-1 win over the Mariners. Rogers went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a grand slam, and seven RBI. The 29-year-old capped off a big fourth inning, lining a George Kirby fastball over the right-field wall to plate four. While it was a nice game for Rogers, he hasn't provided much fantasy value in the plate appearances he has gotten, slashing .200/.248/.378 with nine home runs, 33 runs scored, and 30 RBI in 245 plate appearances. This has limited his fantasy upside even in deeper two-catcher leagues.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers blasted his seventh home run of 2024 on the road against the Blue Jays on Saturday. Rogers started the scoring in a six-run sixth inning that saw Detroit go up 7-0. His only hit of the afternoon was a doozy. With the bases loaded and nobody out, the Tigers backstop blasted a 391-foot rocket to left field off reliever Trevor Richards. Homer-less throughout July, the 29-year-old has been looking to get his power stroke back after hitting 21 homers in 2023; this is a step in the right direction, but he is mainly an option for deep two-catcher formats.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers provided all of his team's offense in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers. Rogers went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs. The 29-year-old took Nathan Eovaldi deep to tie things up in the third inning and put his team ahead in the eighth with another HR off of Jose Leclerc. Rogers' season stats may not stand out, but he has hit well lately, batting .421 with four extra-base hits in his last seven games. Rogers is currently rostered in just one percent of leagues, making him worth a look in deeper two-catcher leagues.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers is back in the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds and left-hander Brandon Williamson. In fact, Rogers is starting out of the cleanup spot for just the fourth time this season, all of which have come over the last month. The slick-fielding backstop has struggled at the plate of late, posting a .608 OPS in the month of August followed up by a .448 OPS and monstrous 44% K% across 25 plate appearances so far in September. His average is down to just .205 on the season, although he does have a healthy 16 homers across 95 appearances. Nonetheless, strikeouts continue to be a major concern with a hefty 35.3% K% across 575 career trips to the plate.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (hand) will return to the starting lineup Wednesday versus New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole. Rogers injured his hand on a catcher's interference play last week and has given way to Carson Kelly behind the plate for the first two games of the Tigers' current four-game set with the Yankees. Rogers has flashed some notable power with 15 home runs while boasting an impressive 80th percentile ranking in hard-hit rate while sitting in the 79th percentile in barrel rate. However, the 28-year-old's .203 average and 32.2% K% have his production sitting below league average, as per his 88 wRC+. Nonetheless, Rogers' power makes him a fine fit in two-catcher leagues while making him a solid streaming option in attractive matchups.

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that catcher Jake Rogers (hand) doesn't have a broken bone in his left hand and will be available to pinch hit or catch on Tuesday against the visiting New York Yankees. Carson Kelly will make a second straight start behind the dish and bat ninth against Yankees right-hander Michael King. Rogers' hand was hit when he was called for catcher's interference last week and he's receiving a second straight day off on Tuesday. The 28-year-old backstop does have a career-high 15 home runs in 88 games for Detroit this year, but he's also hitting just .203 (53-for-261) with 37 RBI, 11 doubles and 36 runs scored in his 292 plate appearances.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers is out of the starting lineup Wednesday night against the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Bailey Ober. Rogers helped steer the Tigers to a 6-0 victory on Tuesday night with a seventh-inning solo home run as he continues to establish himself as one of the better overall catchers in the American League. While he's hitting just .214, Rogers has 14 home runs, a 9.7 BB%, and a .741 OPS in 76 appearances, good for a 103 wRC+. Add in his elite defense behind the plate and Rogers' 2.0 fWAR ranks eighth among catchers with at least 240 plate appearances and fourth in the American League. The 28-year-old's encouraging season could put him on the fantasy radar in 2024 while he's already an asset in two catcher leagues.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers will take the day off on Saturday with the team facing the visiting Toronto Blue Jays. With Rogers starting on the bench, Eric Haase is behind the plate and will hit seventh in the batting order against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Rogers is hitting just over the Mendoza Line at .201 (32-for-159), but he does have a useful 11 home runs in 57 games for the weak catcher position in fantasy. He's been much better of late at the plate as well, going 9-for-30 (.300) with two home runs, two doubles, three RBI and seven runs scored in his last 10 games since June 25. Haase is hitting just .213 (45-for-211) with only three homers and should be avoided against the All-Star Gausman.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (elbow) was removed from Friday's Grapefruit League game against the New York Yankees early after being drilled on his left elbow by a pitch. He was replaced by Andrew Knapp. Hopefully Rogers' injury isn't very serious, as he came into the day hitting a solid .333 (7-for-21) with two doubles, three home runs, three RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base in 11 spring contests. The 27-year-old missed all of last year while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, and his fantasy appeal will be limited in 2023 behind Eric Haase in Detroit. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere in two-catcher leagues, as Rogers has a career batting average under .200 in his time in the big leagues.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (elbow) has started a normal offseason conditioning program and is throwing up to 105 feet without symptoms, according to the team. Rogers is expected to be ready for spring training next year. He was swinging a bate late last season, but he wasn't ready for full activity. The 27-year-old resumed throwing in early November after having Tommy John surgery in September of 2021. Rogers is regarded as a defense-first catcher and won't have much appeal in fantasy leagues next year, even if he's fully healthy. Eric Haase is the team's top catcher on the depth chart for the time being.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (elbow) posted a video on Twitter of himself throwing after undergoing Tommy John surgery last September. Despite the progress, Rogers is likely to be out for most, if not all, of the 2022 season, even with the delay due to the ongoing lockout. If the 26-year-old does make it back later this year, he's unlikely to see much playing time behind the dish behind Tucker Barnhart and Eric Haase. Rogers hit .239 (27-for-113) with six home runs and 17 RBI in 127 plate appearances over 38 games for the Tigers last year before undergoing Tommy John surgery. In parts of two big-league seasons, he has a .182/.264/.378 slash line with 10 homers and 25 RBI in 255 plate appearances.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (forearm) underwent Tommy John surgery in Dallas on Wednesday, manager AJ Hinch told reporters. The 26-year-old has been out of Detroit's lineup since July 19 after being diagnosed with a right forearm strain. Rogers will likely be sidelined until partway through the 2022 season, which is unfortunate given he was having a solid season at the plate hitting .239/.306/.496 with six home runs, 17 RBI, and 17 runs scored on 27 hits. Eric Haase and Dustin Garneau will likely alternate catching duties down the stretch since the Tigers are so far out of a Wild Card spot.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (forearm) has been out since July 19 due to a right forearm strain. On Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive reported that Tigers manager A.J. Hinch was feeling "less and less optimistic" that Rogers would be able to play again this year. There's about a month to go in the season and there's no need for the Tigers to rush the 26-year-old Rogers back to the club, so it certainly seems likely that we won't see him again this year. Rogers was a solid bat for the team this year, slashing .239/.306/.496 with six home runs, 17 RBI and 17 runs over 38 games. Eric Haase is the team's primary catcher with Dustin Garneau backing him up.
