Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers will retreat to the bench after he started at catcher in both of the Tigers' last two games, going 2-for-8 with a home run and three RBI. The 29-year-old is slashing .226/.284/.387 overall for the season and still seems to be part of a timeshare at catcher with Carson Kelly, who gets the starting nod Wednesday.

Rogers went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers had half of Detroit's hits and provided all of the team's offense in the narrow win. The catcher is now up to four home runs across 38 games this season, and this was his first multi-homer effort. He has some work to do to match the career-high 21 long balls he recorded in 2023, though as he displayed Monday, he can rack up home runs quickly when he's dialed in at the plate.

Rogers is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Pirates, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers will take a seat for the second game of the day after he was behind the plate for all nine innings of the Tigers' 8-0 win earlier in the day. He went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run and an RBI and has now reached base at least once in each of his last five starts. Carson Kelly will draw the start for the second game of the day, but Rogers has performed well enough of late to at the very least keep himself in a timeshare at catcher.

Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers has gone 0-for-9 and struck out five times across his past three games, so the Tigers will turn to Carson Kelly on Saturday in hopes of getting more offensive output from their catcher.
