Rogers went 2-for-4 with a triple and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers is known more for his defensive ability at catcher but he's held his own at the plate so far this season, as he now has five home runs and a .773 OPS through 31 games. He posted a .481 OPS in 35 games last year, so it's been a marked improvement offensively. Rogers should continue to see regular playing time behind the plate, though Eric Haase remains in the mix.

Rogers went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 13-5 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers joined in on the slug fest Monday, as Detroit hit three home runs as a team and Cleveland launched two bombs. The Detroit catcher now has four home runs this season to go along with a .741 OPS. It's solid if not spectacular production, and as the team's best healthy defender behind the plate, he should remain in the lineup most days moving forward.

Rogers will be on the bench for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers went 0-for-1 with a sacrifice bunt in the first game of the day. Unsurprisingly, he won't be asked to start behind the plate twice in one day, so Eric Haase will take over for him at catcher.

Rogers is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers got a day off Thursday but will reenter the lineup for Saturday's matinee after Friday's contest was rained out. The 26-year-old seems to have overtaken Eric Haase for primary catching duties in Detroit, as Rogers had started four straight games before his day off Thursday. Haase will occupy left field in the first game Saturday and could spell Rogers behind the plate later in the day.

EDGE Analysis
Rogers had caught each of the Tigers' last four games, so he'll just be getting a breather in the series opener. Eric Haase steps in behind the plate, forming a battery with starting pitcher Jose Urena.
