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.

Rogers is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
With Eric Haase getting the series finale off, Rogers will enter the lineup. Rogers started the season off with two home runs in his first four games but hasn't gone deep in seven contests since then, though he has managed a .294 batting average during the most recent stretch.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers had started behind the plate in three of the Tigers' last four games, going 2-for-11 with a home run and three RBI. Though he still appears to be the Tigers' nominal No. 2 backstop behind Eric Haase -- who will catch Sunday's game -- Rogers should have the chance to play more often than most backup catchers around the league thanks to Haase's ability to fill in at designated hitter or in the corner outfield.

Rogers is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Saturday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers takes over as the backstop with Eric Haase getting the day off. The former already has two home runs in just 12 at-bats this season, so it makes sense that the Tigers are looking to get his bat in the lineup more frequently. Moving forward, Haase can also play in left field, so Rogers may be able to secure more regular playing time at catcher if he keeps hitting well.

Rogers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers went deep against Chris Sale in the second inning, giving the Detroit catcher his second home run this season in just 12 at-bats. Eric Haase started in left field Thursday, and if the Tigers do that more often, Rogers could see a larger role behind the plate. For now, he's still Haase's primary backup at the catcher position, but Rogers looks like a sneaky play whenever he's in the lineup due to his power potential.

Rogers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers provided all the offense for a Detroit team that has been stagnant at the plate so far this season. The catcher has some pop, and if the Tigers continue to struggle to score runs, it's possible that Rogers earns more playing time moving forward. For now, he's the clear backup to Eric Haase, who figures to reenter the lineup Monday.

Rogers is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Eric Haase started the first two games of the season behind the plate, but he'll give way to Rogers on Sunday. The latter had a strong spring and could provide a little bit of pop from the catcher position, though he's unlikely to see enough playing time to be much of a fantasy factor at the moment.
