Rogers will start at catcher and bat ninth Wednesday against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers appear to view Rogers as their primary option at catcher ahead of Eric Haase while the top two options at the position -- Wilson Ramos (back) and Grayson Greiner (hamstring) -- are both on the 10-day injured list. Rogers will be behind the plate Wednesday for the third time in four games.

Rogers is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson Ramos will serve as the designated hitter Sunday, opening up catching duties for Rogers with Eric Haase taking left field. The Tigers will likely tread carefully with the 33-year-old Ramos, so Rogers should see a little bit of playing time moving forward, but he probably won't be in the lineup enough to warrant much attention in standard leagues.

Rogers went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers batted ninth but still found a way to contribute to the Detroit victory. This was the 26-year-old's first game action since Monday, which is also when Wilson Ramos (back) returned from the injured list. With Ramos active, Rogers is unlikely to play enough to warrant fantasy attention, though the Tigers could give him more playing time if they fully fall out of contention.

Rogers is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers drew the start behind the dish Friday night and delivered a solo home run. However, he'll give way to Eric Haase, who is hitting seventh while starting behind the plate Saturday.

Rogers went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

He went back-to-back with Robbie Grossman in the sixth inning to spoil the Cubs' shutout bid. It was Rogers' first homer of the year, and the 26-year-old could provide some short-term fantasy value while Wilson Ramos (back) and Grayson Greiner (hamstring) remain sidelined.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eric Haase will step in behind the dish in place of Rogers, who appears to have temporarily seized hold of the No. 1 catcher role in Detroit. However, Wilson Ramos (back) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Monday, so Rogers' run atop the depth chart will likely be short-lived.

Rogers will start at catcher and bat ninth Wednesday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

With Grayson Greiner (hamstring) joining Wilson Ramos (back) on the 10-day injured list, Rogers looks poised to serve as the Tigers' top backstop in the interim. Rogers' reign atop the depth chart is expected to last less than a week, as Ramos appears on track to return from the IL when first eligible next Monday.

Rogers was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old lost the backup job in spring training to Grayson Greiner, but he'll head to the majors Friday with starter Wilson Ramos (back) landing on the injured list. Greiner likely will take over primary duties behind the plate, but Rogers should see occasional opportunities until Ramos can return.

Rogers was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Rogers was battling Grayson Greiner for the backup job behind Wilson Ramos but will wind up losing the contest. Rogers didn't get into a big-league game last season and produced a .125/.222/.259 slash line in his 35-game debut in 2019.

Rogers is just 2-for-18 with nine strikeouts in Grapefruit League play.

EDGE Analysis

Manager A.J. Hinch previously said defense will be the key to Rogers securing the backup catcher role behind Wilson Ramos, but the organization would certainly like to see a little more offense than this. Rogers struggled when he made his MLB debut back in 2019, posting a .125/.222/.259 slash line with 51 strikeouts across 112 at-bats. Until he cuts down on the whiffs, he'll likely continue to post subpar offensive numbers.
