Swats two homers Sunday Rogers went 2-for-3 with two home runs, a walk and four RBI in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Angels.

Impact Rogers was the engine for the Tigers' offense in this game, hitting a solo shot in the second inning and a three-run blast a frame later. The catcher has hit safely in his last five games, going 9-for-19 (.474) with three homers and five RBI in that span. While it's a short stretch of success, it's some of his best work this season -- he's slashing .220/.289/.444 with 19 homers, 44 RBI, 45 runs scored and one stolen base through 99 contests overall.

Resting Saturday Rogers is not in Saturday's lineup against the Angels.

Impact Rogers had started six of the team's last eight games, and he had eight hits across 24 at-bats in that span. He'll get a routine day of rest with Carson Kelly taking over behind the dish while hitting eighth.

Goes deep in win Rogers went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs scored in Friday's win against the Angels.

Impact Rogers' 17th homer of the year was a solo shot in the sixth inning Friday. It was his first extra-base hit since homering against the Yankees on Aug. 30. Over his last 17 appearances, Rogers owns a .720 OPS with three homers and nine runs scored. His season slash line is up to .216/.283/.422 with 28 extra-base hits.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Wednesday Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Rogers is 4-for-21 with 10 strikeouts in his past six games, and he'll take a seat for Wednesday's contest. Carson Kelly will step in behind the plate to catch for Matt Manning.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets rest Sunday Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact He'll be getting a routine breather for the day game after he started behind the dish in both of the past two contests while going 3-for-9 with an RBI and a run. Carson Kelly will form a battery with starting pitcher Tarik Skubal in the series finale.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Resting for day game Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

Impact After missing the first two games of the series with a minor hand injury, Rogers returned to the lineup Wednesday and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the Tigers' 6-2 loss. Rogers isn't believed to have suffered a setback with the hand injury Wednesday, so his absence from the lineup Thursday looks to be maintenance-related as the Tigers and Yankees wrap up their series with a day game after a night game.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Launches 16th home run Rogers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.

Impact Rogers went deep in the third inning, giving him 16 home runs for the season. The catcher has been scuffling this month with just a .172 batting average, though he has gone deep four times in 20 games. Rogers also has a pretty firm grip on the starting job behind the plate with Eric Haase no longer around. Carson Kelly was signed as a depth option but doesn't offer much of a threat to cut into Rogers' playing time.

Returns to lineup Rogers (hand) will start at catcher and bat ninth Wednesday versus the Yankees in his return to the lineup, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Rogers has dealt with a minor hand issue recently, though he had been available off the bench the past two days. He will catch for starting pitcher Brendan White in Wednesday's contest while Carson Kelly retreats to the bench.

AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available despite hand issue Rogers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees due to left hand inflammation, though he's expected to be available off the bench, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com rep...

Impact It's the second straight absence for Rogers, who suffered the injury last week when he was struck by a catcher's interference. It doesn't appear to be a serious concern, and the 28-year-old could rejoin the starting nine within the next couple days. Carson Kelly is receiving his second straight start behind the plate Tuesday for Detroit.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from lineup again Rogers is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Rogers has now sat out two straight and three of the last four in favor of newcomer Carson Kelly. While Rogers is probably still viewed by the Tigers as the starting catcher, it makes sense for the team to be giving Kelly a longer look before they decide whether to pick up his option for 2024.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Monday Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Rogers will get a break in the Tigers' series opener with the Yankees after he started at catcher in four of the previous five contests. Carson Kelly will step in behind the dish and form a battery with starting pitcher Reese Olson.

AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Monday Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Rogers will take a seat for the series opener to make room in the lineup for Carson Kelly, who is making his Tigers debut after signing with the team over the weekend. Kelly (.581 OPS, 58 wRC+ in 92 plate appearances) didn't fare much better during his time with the Diamondbacks this season than Eric Haase did (.530 OPS, 44 wRC+ in 282 plate appearances) had with Detroit prior to being waived, so Rogers' standing atop the depth chart at catcher shouldn't be seriously threatened.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out nightcap Rogers is absent from the lineup for the second game of Friday's doubleheader in Cleveland, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Rogers cranked a solo home run and added a single in the first game, but even with that big performance he was never going to catch both ends of a doubleheader. Eric Haase will be behind the dish for Joey Wentz.

Out of Tuesday's lineup Rogers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Minnesota.

Impact Rogers has a .551 OPS through 11 games in August and will take a seat Tuesday for the second time in Detroit's past three contests. Eric Haase will work behind the plate and bat ninth.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Rogers will sit Saturday against Boston.

Impact Rogers' lopsided .211/.286/.439 slash line is good for a respectable 98 wRC+, and his 14 homers tie him for 10th among all catchers. Eric Haase will take over behind the plate Saturday.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Wednesday Rogers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Twins.

Impact Eric Haase will do the catching for Alex Faedo after Rogers started the last two games and homered in Tuesday's contest. Rogers has gone deep twice so far in August to push his season total to 14.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep Tuesday Rogers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Twins.

Impact Rogers continues to increase his career high in home runs, as he now has 14 this season, which is four more than he had in his entire career coming into the year. The catcher also struck out again Tuesday, something he's doing 33 percent of the time this season. Rogers will likely remain a boom or bust option the rest of the way given his all-or-nothing approach at the plate.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Sunday's lineup Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Impact Rogers started the first two games of the series versus Tampa Bay but will take a seat for Sunday's finale. Eric Haase will work behind the plate and bat eighth.

AUGUST 5, 2023 • Associated Press

Blasts 13th home run Rogers recorded a pinch-hit home run in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

Impact Rogers took a seat to begin the game, with Eric Haase getting the start behind the plate, but the former made an impact in his lone at-bat during the eighth inning. Rogers now has 13 home runs and a .748 OPS this season, compared to just three long balls and a .506 OPS for Haase. The superior offensive performance should keep Rogers in the lineup most days moving forward.
