Rogers is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers will end up starting the bookends of the weekend series, with Eric Haase having picked up the Saturday start behind the plate. If this is any indication, Rogers looks like he still has a slight edge over Haase to begin the post-break part of the schedule, though Haase can also play some in the outfield.

Rogers will sit Saturday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers has been in good form recently, posting a .960 OPS with five homers in his last 20 games. That led to him starting nine of the last 12 games behind the plate heading into Saturday's contest, but it will be Eric Haase who gets the nod this time around.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
The Tigers and Athletics are wrapping up their three-game series with a day game after a night game, so Rogers will get a breather after catching the last two contests. Eric Haase will form a battery with starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen.

Rogers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers was steady in June, batting .286 (14-for-49) with four homers over 17 games. He kept his power up in his first contest in July, giving him 11 long balls on the year. The catcher continues to have a slight edge over Eric Haase for playing time, though that could change when the Tigers get some outfielders back from the injured list. Rogers is slashing .203/.304/.473 with 26 RBI, 23 runs scored and seven doubles through 172 plate appearances, and he's hit safely in six of his last seven games.

Rogers went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers went deep in the sixth inning with a runner on for his 10th home run of the season, which matches his career total before this year. He was starting for the second straight day behind the plate and has seemingly edged ahead as Detroit's primary catcher, though Eric Haase played left field Monday, so both catching options saw the field.

Rogers is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers will return to the lineup after sitting Saturday, with Eric Haase heading back to the bench. The two have alternated starts behind the plate fairly evenly all season. This will be the 41st start at catcher for Rogers, while Haase has started 35 times at the position. Rogers is batting only .178, though he has managed nine home runs in 129 at-bats, making him a boom-or-bust option.
