JAKE ROGERS NEWS

Avoids arbitration with Detroit The Tigers and Rogers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.05 million contract Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Rogers was leap-frogged by Dillon Dingler in the Tigers' catcher pecking order in 2025, but the team still values the former enough to retain him as Dingler's backup. A career .200/.270/.386 hitter over parts of five seasons, Rogers had been eligible for salary arbitration for the final time.

Plates two in win Rogers went 2-for-4 with a triple, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-0 victory over the Royals.

Impact The Detroit backstop started his 34th game of the season and drove home two with his sixth career triple in the fifth inning. Rogers is not a viable fantasy option while he is the clear backup to Dillon Dingler. Through 123 total plate appearances, the 30-year-old is now slashing .200/.295/.362 with 18 RBI and 14 runs scored.

Drives in two in win Rogers went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

Impact Picking up a start for Dillon Dingler, Rogers managed his third double of the season and collected his 15th and 16th RBI. It's been a struggle for the veteran catcher, who is slashing just .182/.278/.323 overall. The drop in power is most noticeable for Rogers, who had a .444 slugging percentage back in 2023, when he also smashed a career-high 21 home runs. That dropped to .352 last year during the regular season and now .323 in 2025, and the 30-year-old has had to settle for a backup role behind Dingler as his production has fallen off.

Blasts off Wednesday Rogers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Rogers started the Wednesday matinee, giving Dillon Dingler a day off, and the former delivered his third home run of the season. Two of those long balls have come in his last four appearances, and while it's been a struggle for Rogers overall in 2025, he's at least showing some signs of life lately. The catcher did slug 21 home runs as recently as 2023, so the power potential is there, but Rogers should remain firmly behind Dingler on Detroit's depth chart.

Leads offense Saturday Rogers went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Rogers had the only two hits for Detroit and scored the team's lone run despite hitting in the nine spot in the lineup. It was the catcher's first multi-hit performance since June 13 and just his third of the year. This season has been a struggle for Rogers, who's slashing .184/.292/.316, and he's clearly fallen behind Dillon Dingler on the Tigers' depth chart.

Goes deep Tuesday Rogers went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Rogers picked up the start with Dillon Dingler getting a breather, and the former managed to pop only his second home run of the season. It's been a struggle for Rogers, who is batting just .167 with a .588 OPS. Dingler has been much more productive with a .267 average and .727 OPS, which has relegated Rogers to a bench role and greatly diminished his fantasy value.
