DFA'd by Detroit The Tigers designated Rogers for assignment Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Rogers was the longest-tenured player on the team but has now lost his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters. The 31-year-old has more than five years of service time, so he'll become a free agent if he goes unclaimed on waivers. Rogers has a .161/.266/.301 slash line and three homers in 110 plate appearances this season.

Homers again Thursday Rogers went 1-for-1 with two walks and a solo home run in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.

Impact With Dillon Dingler getting the night off a day after taking a foul ball off his right thumb, Rogers stepped into the starting lineup and went deep for the second straight game. X-rays came back negative on Dingler's thumb, so he may be able to return soon, but the Tigers also only have three more games before the All-Star break and may play it safe with their starting catcher. If that's the case, Rogers should get a few more chances to shine before returning to a backup role in the second half.

Supplies offense off bench Rogers went 2-for-2 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Athletics.

Impact The veteran catcher entered the game in the second inning after Dillon Dingler took a foul ball off his right thumb. Rogers responded with just his second home run of the season and first since June 3. X-rays came back negative on Dingler, so it appears that the All-Star avoided a more serious injury, though it wouldn't be surprising to see Rogers pick up a start in relief Thursday to give Dingler a little more time to recuperate.

Drawing rare start Wednesday Rogers will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact Rogers will enter the starting nine for the series finale while the Tigers give top backstop Dillon Dingler a break from catching but keep his bat in the lineup at designated hitter. With Dingler handling one of the heavier workloads among all catchers this season, Rogers has been limited to just 68 plate appearances through Detroit's first 73 games.

Delivers rare triple Sunday Rogers went 2-for-3 with a triple and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Rogers delivered his first triple of the season and just the seventh of his six-year MLB career. The veteran catcher hasn't delivered many hits in general this year, as he's batting just .182 in a backup role to Dillon Dingler. Rogers doesn't really have much of any fantasy value due to his lack of regular playing time and poor production in general so far.

Drives in run Saturday Rogers went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Making just his sixth start of the season through 21 games, Rogers delivered his second hit and third RBI. Both of his hits have been doubles, but he's otherwise gone 0-for-15 with six strikeouts. Rogers is the clear No. 2 catcher in Detroit behind Dillon Dingler, and the former isn't seeing enough playing time at the moment to carry any meaningful fantasy value in most formats.

Cleared for Opening Day Rogers cleared concussion protocol Monday and will be available for Opening Day, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Rogers suffered a concussion at some point down the stretch of spring training, but it won't impact his availability for the start of the 2026 season. "He's already caught a couple of bullpens today and hit in the cage," said manager A.J. Hinch on Monday. "I'm going to get him a couple of at-bats tonight. Tomorrow, he'll catch part of the game." The 30-year-old is in line to open his sixth major-league season as the backup catcher behind Dillon Dingler.
