Rogers went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out Friday's contest, Rogers returned to the lineup and contributed his first triple of the season. It was just the catcher's fifth career triple, as he's not known for his speed. Rogers figures to make his mark with power after hitting a total of 31 home runs over the past two years. Detroit has alternated starts behind the plate between Rogers and Dillon Dingler to begin the season.

The Tigers and Rogers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.64 million contract Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers had been arbitration-eligible for a second time. The catcher slashed a disappointing .197/.255/.352 with 10 home runs in 2024, but he remains a trusted receiver and is slated to open 2025 at the top of the Tigers' catching depth chart.

Rogers expects to be ready to play in Game 5 of the ALDS versus the Guardians on Saturday after X-rays on his left wrist came back negative, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers was hit in the wrist area by a couple foul tips in Thursday's Game 4 loss, but he received treatment Friday and is feeling better than expected. The catcher has started all six postseason games for the Tigers, going 5-for-18 with one RBI at the plate. If he's deemed to be unavailable Saturday, rookie Dillon Dingler would get his first career postseason start behind the plate.

Rogers had his wrist and forearm wrapped following Thursday's loss to the Guardians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers was pinch-hit for in the ninth inning, though that appeared to be for an offensive upgrade rather than due to injury. He's set to undergo X-rays, which could dictate his availability for a decisive Game 5 in the ALDS on Saturday.
