Rogers went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, a run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers was productive from the No. 9 spot in the batting order, and it looks like he's taking over as the primary catcher in Detroit, as this was his third start in a row. Eric Haase remains in the picture, but Rogers is considered the better defensive player and he's also two years younger, so the Tigers may be inclined to keep rolling him out there.

Rogers will start at catcher and bat ninth Tuesday against the Cardinals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Eric Haase stuck in 5-for-36 slump at the dish over his last 10 games, Rogers -- the superior defender of the two -- appears to have taken over as the Tigers' preferred backstop. Rogers will stick in the lineup for the third game in a row, and he'll draw the start over Haase for the second straight contest against a right-handed starting pitcher (Johan Oviedo). While Rogers appears to have drawn positive reviews for his receiving and game-calling skills, he's struggled with the bat, as expected. Through 11 games in June, Rogers is hitting .206 while striking out 47.4 percent of the time.

Rogers is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The Tigers are sliding Eric Haase over to left field, which opens up the catcher spot for Rogers. The team recently said Haase would have a larger role moving forward, which should include starts behind the plate and in the outfield. That will leave Rogers to fill in at catcher whenever Haase is somewhere else in the field, at least while Wilson Ramos (back) and Grayson Greiner (hamstring) are on the injured list.

Rogers went 2-for-4 with a home run, triple, two RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers took Justus Sheffield yard in the second inning. It was his second homer in as many games and third of the season. Five frames later, he tripled in his second RBI of the game. Rogers should continue to get periodic playing time so long as Grayson Greiner (hamstring) and Wilson Ramos (back) remain sidelined.

Rogers went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 9-6 extra-innings loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
The catcher went deep in the fifth inning off Seattle starter Chris Flexen for his second homer of the year. Rogers is slashing .225/.295/.400 with four RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in 45 plate appearances. He'll continue to split time behind the dish with Eric Haase until one of Wilson Ramos (back) or Grayson Greiner (hamstring) is ready to return.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers will cede catching duties to Eric Haase in the series finale after starting in three of the Tigers' last four games. The 26-year-old Rogers looks like he could be the Tigers' primary option behind the plate while Wilson Ramos (back) and Grayson Greiner (hamstring) are on the injured list.
