Rogers went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 13-4 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
After getting Friday off, Rogers returned with a bang Saturday to help power the offense. The 29-year-old is splitting time behind the plate with rookie Dillon Dingler, who will likely get Sunday's matinee contest. Rogers has taken a step back from 2023, when he blasted 21 home runs and posted a .730 OPS. This season, Rogers has nine long balls and a .603 OPS through 78 games, and Dingler may see his role grow down the stretch if the Tigers fall out of contention and want to take a look at younger players.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
After driving in a career-high seven runs in the Tigers' 15-1 win Tuesday in the series opener, Rogers was awarded a second straight start at catcher Wednesday, but he went hitless in three at-bats in Detroit's 3-2 victory. He'll give way to Dillon Dingler behind the plate in the series finale, and the two backstops seem poised to operate in a timeshare moving forward.

Rogers went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a grand slam and seven total RBI in Tuesday's 15-1 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
It was an unexpected monster performance for Rogers, who came into the contest mired in a 1-for-23 slump and sporting just a .591 OPS overall. The seven-RBI tally is also a new single-game career high for the catcher. While Rogers provided a huge jolt Tuesday, his fantasy value moving forward will be capped if he continues to split time behind the plate with Dillon Dingler.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers had started behind the plate in the previous two contests, but he'll hit the bench for the series finale with Kansas City while Dillon Dingler handles catching duties. The two backstops could be deployed in a timeshare until one clearly separates himself from the other as the preferred option.
