Haase isn't starting Friday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Haase has been on a much-needed hot streak lately, slashing .467/.500/.533 in 16 plate appearances over the last seven days. He'll take a seat Friday, allowing Jake Rogers to start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Haase went 4-for-4 with a run scored in a 4-3 win over the Guardians during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

All four hits were singles, but Haase won't complain after entering the contest with just seven hits in 36 at-bats this season. He upped his average from .194 to .275 with the big performance, then got a well-deserved rest in the nightcap. Jake Rogers has flashed some power in the early going, though Haase should remain the primary catcher in Detroit, and he can also play some in the outfield.

Haase will start in left field Friday against the Giants and bat fifth.

EDGE Analysis

Haase will replace Akil Baddoo in left field with lefty Sean Manaea on the mound for San Francisco. Haase is off to a slow start to the year, batting just .138 through his first eight games.

Haase isn't in the Tigers' lineup Friday against San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

A slow start at the plate has now cost Haase to miss three starts in Detroit's last four games. Jake Rogers, who has performed much better to start the season, will take over behind the dish Friday and bat ninth.

Haase is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Haase started the past four games -- two at catcher, two in left field -- and will receive a breather Saturday after starting the year 3-for-23 with eight strikeouts. Jake Rogers has clubbed two early home runs and will take over behind the plate.

Haase is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Haase will be getting his first breather of the 2023 season after he started behind the dish in both of the Tigers' first two contests while going hitless across eight plate appearances. Jake Rogers will step in at catcher in the series finale, forming a battery with starting pitcher Joey Wentz.

Haase went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Haase now has three home runs in just 20 spring at-bats, which has helped propel him to a strong .986 OPS. The catcher has a career .720 OPS, so any gains there this season would be a welcome sight. With Tucker Barnhart now playing for the Cubs, Haase is the unquestioned No. 1 backstop for the Tigers, and he could make a run at the 22 homers and 61 RBI he recorded back in 2021, both of which were career highs. He also had a career-high 351 at-bats that season.

With no other established MLB catchers on the roster, Haase is likely to see a significant amount of time behind the plate this season, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haase started 68 games behind the plate in 2022, but that number could grow with Tucker Barnhart no longer on the roster. The Tigers now have Jake Rogers, Donny Sands and Andrew Knapp vying for a backup role, leaving Haase as the unquestioned starter heading into the season. He may not have as versatile a role anymore, but as a catcher who can hit for a little power, Haase should retain decent fantasy value.

Haase isn't starting Monday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

After recording four hits over the last two games, including two home runs, Haase will get a breather Monday. Instead, Tucker Barnhart will serve as Detroit's backstop and bat eighth.

Haase went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and two total RBI in Sunday's win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

After going deep Saturday, Haase hit another home run Sunday, pushing him to 14 long balls this season. He seems unlikely to match last year's 22 home runs, though his .257 batting average and .757 OPS are both improvements on his 2021 figures. After two solid seasons, Haase should head into 2023 with a fairly solid role in Detroit, likely as the team's top catcher.
