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.
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.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Drives in two in win
Rotowire
Rogers went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Royals.
Picking up a start in place of 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 noticeable, as Rogers had a .444 slugging percentage back in 2023, when he also smashed a career-high 21 home runs. The 30-year-old has had to settle for a backup role behind Dingler as his production has fallen off.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Blasts off Wednesday
Rotowire
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.
Rogers started the Wednesday matinee, giving Dillon Dingler a day off, and the former delivered his third home run of the season. While it's been a struggle for Rogers overall in 2025, he's at least showing some signs of life lately with at least one hit in his last three starts and two homers over that span. 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.

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

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Goes deep Tuesday
Rotowire
Rogers went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Pirates.
With Dillon Dingler getting a breather, Rogers got the start and managed to pop his second home run of the season. It's been a struggle for Rogers, who is batting just .167 with a .588 OPS in 29 games this year. 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.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Rogers is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
With Dillon Dingler getting a breather following two straight starts, Rogers will slide into Wednesday's lineup. The latter is struggling at the plate this season with a .139/.244/.194 slash line and no home runs, making him an unattractive fantasy option while Dingler continues to see the bulk of the starts at catcher.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Enters lineup Thursday
Rotowire
Rogers is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Thursday's game against the White Sox.
Rogers will start Thursday's afternoon tilt to give Dillon Dingler a rest following three straight starts behind the plate. Dingler has emerged as Detroit's top catcher with a .296 batting average and .795 OPS, while Rogers is batting only .125 with a .410 OPS. Rogers has also yet to go deep in 2025, which has sapped him of pretty much any fantasy utility at this point.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Out again Saturday
Rotowire
Rogers is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.
Rogers has clearly fallen behind Dillon Dingler as Detroit's top catching option, with the latter starting for the fifth time in six days Saturday. Dingler, who is sporting a .794 OPS, took advantage of Rogers missing about six weeks with an oblique strain to emerge as a viable offensive threat and a regular starter. By comparison, Rogers has just a .449 OPS, which should keep him entrenched as the backup for the time being.

Rotowire
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Rogers (oblique) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in St. Louis, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Rogers has been sidelined since early April with a left oblique strain but is ready to go after playing in four rehab games with Triple-A Toledo. Dillon Dingler has played well since Rogers landed on the shelf, and the two catchers will likely split playing time behind the dish fairly evenly.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Upping activities
Rotowire
Rogers (oblique) could be ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment at some point this week, MLB.com reports.
Rogers has been steadily increasing his baseball activities as he works his way back from a left oblique strain, which has kept him on the injured list since April 8. In addition to taking regular batting practice, Rogers was able to catch a bullpen session Friday, then ran the bases and did some throwing Saturday. Dillon Dingler has been serving as the Tigers' primary option behind the plate since Rogers landed on the shelf.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Out at least one month
Rotowire
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday that he expects Rogers (oblique) to be sidelined for at least a month, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Hinch indicated that the timetable he provided was an approximation, but at the very least, it's not going to be a minimum-length stay on the 10-day injured list for the catcher. Dillon Dingler will be the Tigers' primary backstop while Rogers is on the shelf.
Tigers' Jake Rogers: Oblique strain forces IL stint
Rotowire
The Tigers placed Rogers on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left oblique strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Rogers tweaked his oblique in the batting cage Tuesday and the team has opted to go ahead and place him on the IL. He will be eligible to return April 18, but it's too soon to know whether Rogers might be activated at that time. Thomas Nido was called up from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move and will serve as Detroit's No. 2 catcher while Dillon Dingler takes over as the team's primary backstop.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Scratched with oblique injury
Rotowire
Rogers was scratched from Tuesday's lineup versus the Yankees due to left oblique tightness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Oblique injuries often lead to stints on the injured list, although it's not yet clear whether Rogers' is serious enough to warrant a trip to the IL. Dillon Dingler has replaced him in the lineup and would be in line for an uptick in playing time should Rogers miss additional time.
