Rogers (forearm) underwent successful Tommy John surgery Wednesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager A.J. Hinch indicated in late August that Rogers would likely miss the remainder of the season due to a right forearm strain, but it wasn't until Wednesday that it was revealed that the young backstop would require surgery. Rogers is now officially out for the remainder of the 2021 campaign, and he'll likely need most or all of the 2022 season to complete his rehab from the procedure. The 26-year-old appeared in 38 games prior to his injury and slashed .239/.306/.496 with six homers, 17 runs, 17 RBI and a stolen base.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Monday that Rogers (forearm) may not have time to return from the 60-day injured list before the end of the season, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers has been out since mid-July with a strained right forearm. Reports from mid-August indicated that he was approximately a month away from returning, but he evidently hasn't progressed quite as quickly as the Tigers had hoped. The team is now less optimistic that he'll play again this season, though he's yet to be officially shut down.

Rogers (forearm) has a chance to return in mid-September, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers will be eligible to return from the 60-day injured list Sept. 17, and it looks as though he may be healthy by that point. The Tigers hope he can begin a rehab assignment in approximately three weeks.

The Tigers transferred Rogers (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Recovering from a right forearm strain, Rogers will be eligible to return from the IL no sooner than Sept. 17. The catcher wasn't expected back until around that time, so the Tigers are able to free up a 40-man roster spot until he's healthy. More updates on Rogers and whether he'll play again in 2021 should become available as the season progresses into September.

Rogers (forearm) hasn't resumed throwing and remains several weeks away from making a return to full health, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. "We won't see him in the month of August. September at the earliest," manager A.J. Hinch said. " \We just hope there are no setbacks at this point. If we do anything that causes a setback between now and September, then we're talking about missing the rest of the year."
EDGE Analysis
Sidelined since July 19 with a pronator teres strain in his right forearm, Rogers' promising campaign could be at risk of ending early if hits any snags in what's already been a slow-moving recovery process. Though the Tigers value Rogers mostly for his defensive work at catcher, he hit his stride at the plate in the month before landing on the 10-day injured list, slashing .296/.367/.611 over that stretch. Eric Haase and Grayson Greiner will continue to share the catching duties while Rogers remains on the shelf.

Rogers (forearm) will need longer to recover than previously expected and will be shut down from baseball activities for the foreseeable future, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers hit the injured list Monday with a pronator teres strain in his right forearm. Initial reports indicated he'd be out 2-to-3 weeks, but that timeline was apparently too optimistic. The Tigers do still hope he can return by the end of the season, but there's a chance his campaign is already done.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said after Monday's 14-0 win over the Rangers that Rogers will likely be out for 2-to-3 weeks after he was diagnosed with a pronator teres strain of his right forearm, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. "We hope it's going to be resolved in the next couple of weeks," Hinch said of Rogers' injury. "He's going to have a rest period here. ... Once we knew Jake was going to be down for a minimum 5-to-7 days, we made the decision to put him on the injured list. During the game, we got the update that it's probably going to be a few weeks, but hopefully not major."
EDGE Analysis
Rogers was in Detroit's initial lineup as the starting catcher for the series opener, but he was scratched shortly before the contest when his arm was "bugging him" during pregame warmups, according to Hinch. He was sent in for medical tests shortly thereafter, which revealed the forearm strain. Detroit called up Grayson Greiner to take Rogers' spot on the active roster, and the combination of Greiner and Eric Haase will split time behind the dish while Rogers is on the mend.
