Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday that he expects Rogers (oblique) to be sidelined for at least a month, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hinch indicated that the timetable he provided was an approximation, but at the very least, it's not going to be a minimum-length stay on the 10-day injured list for the catcher. Dillon Dingler will be the Tigers' primary backstop while Rogers is on the shelf.

The Tigers placed Rogers on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left oblique strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers tweaked his oblique in the batting cage Tuesday and the team has opted to go ahead and place him on the IL. He will be eligible to return April 18, but it's too soon to know whether Rogers might be activated at that time. Thomas Nido was called up from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move and will serve as Detroit's No. 2 catcher while Dillon Dingler takes over as the team's primary backstop.

Rogers was scratched from Tuesday's lineup versus the Yankees due to left oblique tightness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oblique injuries often lead to stints on the injured list, although it's not yet clear whether Rogers' is serious enough to warrant a trip to the IL. Dillon Dingler has replaced him in the lineup and would be in line for an uptick in playing time should Rogers miss additional time.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers will sit for the day game after he went 2-for-4 while catching all nine innings of Saturday's 7-2 win. Dillon Dingler will replace Rogers behind the dish.

Rogers is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

It's a routine day off for Rogers, who had started the last two contests. Dillon Dingler will do the catching and bat seventh for the Tigers.

Rogers is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers will get a rest Monday while Dillon Dingler starts behind home playe and bats seventh against Mariners right-hander Emerson Hancock. Rogers has gone 2-for-7 with a triple and one run across his first two outings of the 2025 season.

Rogers went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out Friday's contest, Rogers returned to the lineup and contributed his first triple of the season. It was just the catcher's fifth career triple, as he's not known for his speed. Rogers figures to make his mark with power after hitting a total of 31 home runs over the past two years. Detroit has alternated starts behind the plate between Rogers and Dillon Dingler to begin the season.

Rogers isn't in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers will take a seat Friday after going 1-for-3 with a walk on Opening Day. Dillon Dingler will catch for Jack Flaherty instead and bat seventh.

The Tigers and Rogers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.64 million contract Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers had been arbitration-eligible for a second time. The catcher slashed a disappointing .197/.255/.352 with 10 home runs in 2024, but he remains a trusted receiver and is slated to open 2025 at the top of the Tigers' catching depth chart.

Rogers (wrist) will start at catcher and bat eighth Saturday in Game 5 of the ALDS versus Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers was removed from Game 4 due to a wrist injury, but X-rays came back negative after the game. He'll now attempt to play through any lingering soreness and continue his semi-hot streak, as he's gone 5-for-18 during the postseason.
