Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers will receive a breather in the series finale after he served as Detroit's starting catcher in three of the previous four games. Eric Haase will check in behind the dish in place of Rogers, who has gone 0-for-13 with six strikeouts over his last four starts to bring his batting average down to .163 for the season.

Rogers is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out Saturday, Rogers will return to the lineup Sunday, bumping Eric Haase to the bench. The two are mostly splitting time behind the plate, though Haase is also seeing time in the outfield. Rogers has five home runs and a .437 slugging percentage, though he's batting just .183, so he's been pretty boom or bust.

Rogers will hit the bench Saturday against Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers still has a narrow 21-17 lead over Eric Haase in starts behind the plate, but Haase has also picked up seven starts in right field and two as a designated hitter. Rogers is hitting a lopsided .183/.275/.437 this season, showing power but not much contact at the plate.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
After catching in three of the Tigers' last four games, Rogers will receive a breather while Eric Haase gets a turn behind the plate. Rogers was the Tigers' offensive star in Sunday's 12-6 loss to the Cardinals, with his grand slam accounting for two-thirds of his team's runs on the day.

Rogers went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 12-6 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers took Jojo Romero deep center field in the sixth to put the Tigers up 6-3 over the Cardinals. That lead would not last, however, after the Cardinals scored seven runs of their own in the bottom of the frame. Rogers has not gotten consistent playing time behind the plate yet leads his team with a .767 OPS and is tied at the top with four homers. He's now slashing .203/.309/.458 with seven extra base hits, 12 RBI, seven runs and an 8:24 BB:K over 68 plate appearances.

Rogers is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers has seemingly inched ahead of Eric Haase as the primary starter behind the plate, though the latter will start in left field Sunday. Both players should continue to split playing time, at least until someone gets hot and earns a larger role. Rogers has some pop but is only slashing .200/.313/.418 this year.

Rogers will be on the bench Saturday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers has seen a marginal uptick in playing time lately, but his off day means he leads Eric Haase in starts behind the plate by the narrowest of margins, starting 16 games to Haase's 15. Rogers has hit .200/.313/.418 with three homers this year, while Haase has homered twice while slashing .278/.337/.405.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers will get a breather after he caught all nine innings and went 0-for-3 at the plate in the opening game of the day. Eric Haase, who served as the Tigers' designated hitter in Game 1, will step in behind the dish for the nightcap.

Rogers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers went deep in the fifth inning, giving him three long balls on the season across 18 games. It looks like he's taken over as the primary catcher for the Tigers, supplanting Eric Haase, who appeared as a pinch hitter Sunday. Rogers has some pop and could be an option in deeper formats so long as he's seeing regular playing time.

Rogers will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers will step in behind the dish for the fourth time in six games and may have supplanted Eric Haase as the Tigers' preferred option at catcher. In addition to holding a nearly 100-point advantage over Haase in OPS this season (.713 to .621), Rogers is regarded as the superior defender of the two.
