Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the first two games of the series with a minor hand injury, Rogers returned to the lineup Wednesday and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the Tigers' 6-2 loss. Rogers isn't believed to have suffered a setback with the hand injury Wednesday, so his absence from the lineup Thursday looks to be maintenance-related as the Tigers and Yankees wrap up their series with a day game after a night game.

Rogers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers went deep in the third inning, giving him 16 home runs for the season. The catcher has been scuffling this month with just a .172 batting average, though he has gone deep four times in 20 games. Rogers also has a pretty firm grip on the starting job behind the plate with Eric Haase no longer around. Carson Kelly was signed as a depth option but doesn't offer much of a threat to cut into Rogers' playing time.

Rogers (hand) will start at catcher and bat ninth Wednesday versus the Yankees in his return to the lineup, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers has dealt with a minor hand issue recently, though he had been available off the bench the past two days. He will catch for starting pitcher Brendan White in Wednesday's contest while Carson Kelly retreats to the bench.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees due to left hand inflammation, though he's expected to be available off the bench, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the second straight absence for Rogers, who suffered the injury last week when his hand was struck on a player where he found guilty of catcher's interference. It doesn't appear to be a serious concern, and the 28-year-old could rejoin the starting nine within the next couple of days. Carson Kelly is receiving his second straight start behind the plate Tuesday for Detroit.

Rogers is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers has now sat out two straight and three of the last four in favor of newcomer Carson Kelly. While Rogers is probably still viewed by the Tigers as the starting catcher, it makes sense for the team to be giving Kelly a longer look before they decide whether to pick up his option for 2024.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers will get a break in the Tigers' series opener with the Yankees after he started at catcher in four of the previous five contests. Carson Kelly will step in behind the dish and form a battery with starting pitcher Reese Olson.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers will take a seat for the series opener to make room in the lineup for Carson Kelly, who is making his Tigers debut after signing with the team over the weekend. Kelly (.581 OPS, 58 wRC+ in 92 plate appearances) didn't fare much better during his time with the Diamondbacks this season than Eric Haase did (.530 OPS, 44 wRC+ in 282 plate appearances) had with Detroit prior to being waived, so Rogers' standing atop the depth chart at catcher shouldn't be seriously threatened.

Rogers is absent from the lineup for the second game of Friday's doubleheader in Cleveland, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers cranked a solo home run and added a single in the first game, but even with that big performance he was never going to catch both ends of a doubleheader. Eric Haase will be behind the dish for Joey Wentz.

Rogers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers has a .551 OPS through 11 games in August and will take a seat Tuesday for the second time in Detroit's past three contests. Eric Haase will work behind the plate and bat ninth.

Rogers will sit Saturday against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers' lopsided .211/.286/.439 slash line is good for a respectable 98 wRC+, and his 14 homers tie him for 10th among all catchers. Eric Haase will take over behind the plate Saturday.
