Rogers went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers was part of an offensive onslaught for Detroit, and he extended his hitting streak to six games in the process. The catcher is still batting just .194 for the season, though he was batting .125 before his current hitting streak. More concerning is the fact that Rogers only has two home runs through 23 games this year after clubbing 21 long balls in 107 contests last season. However, his recent hot streak provides some hope that the power will come.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers and Carson Kelly have now alternated turns behind the plate over Detroit's last eight games, with both backstops making four starts apiece. The timeshare arrangement will make it difficult to extract much fantasy value from Rogers, who is batting .179 with two home runs and five RBI over 22 games this season.

Rogers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored during Sunday's 4-1 victory over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers' sixth-inning two-out blast spelled the end of the day for Kansas City starter Michael Wacha and provided the winning margin for the Tigers. It was just the second multi-hit game for Rogers, who raised his season average to .164 with two homers and three RBI.

Rogers went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Monday's 7-1 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers came into the contest having gone 0-for-16 across his previous seven games, so the hits were much needed, though he's still batting just .119 overall in what's been a rough start to the year. The backstop is also still sitting on just one home run for the season, and he'll need to find his power stroke soon to make a fantasy impact and hold off Carson Kelly for playing time.

Rogers went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in Saturday's loss to the Twins and is now batting just .086 this season.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers is scuffling, and he's only delivered one home run so far with a nearly 40 percent strikeout rate. The 29-year-old has never been a great contact hitter at the MLB level, so if he's not providing power, his fantasy value is pretty minimal. Rogers is also ceding more playing time behind the plate to Carson Kelly, as the former has appeared in 13 games so far and the latter has made 16 appearances.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers had started behind the dish in both of the Tigers' last two games, but he'll hit the bench for the series finale while Carson Kelly handles catching duties for Detroit. The two backstops have been deployed in a timeshare this season, with Kelly drawing 10 starts at catcher compared to Rogers' nine.

Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rogers is on the bench for the second day in a row and the fourth time in six games, with each of those absences coming against right-handed pitching. At least for the time being, he may have moved into the smaller side of a timeshare with Carson Kelly behind the dish.

Rogers is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Carson Kelly will draw the start at catcher and bat ninth Saturday against Oakland right-hander Paul Blackburn. Rogers has struggled at the plate to start the season, posting just one hit and one walk while striking out 10 times over 16 plate appearances.
