Jake Rogers Re-Enters Starting Lineup Tuesday

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers is back in the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds and left-hander Brandon Williamson. In fact, Rogers is starting out of the cleanup spot for just the fourth time this season, all of which have come over the last month. The slick-fielding backstop has struggled at the plate of late, posting a .608 OPS in the month of August followed up by a .448 OPS and monstrous 44% K% across 25 plate appearances so far in September. His average is down to just .205 on the season, although he does have a healthy 16 homers across 95 appearances. Nonetheless, strikeouts continue to be a major concern with a hefty 35.3% K% across 575 career trips to the plate.

Jake Rogers Back In The Lineup Wednesday

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (hand) will return to the starting lineup Wednesday versus New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole. Rogers injured his hand on a catcher's interference play last week and has given way to Carson Kelly behind the plate for the first two games of the Tigers' current four-game set with the Yankees. Rogers has flashed some notable power with 15 home runs while boasting an impressive 80th percentile ranking in hard-hit rate while sitting in the 79th percentile in barrel rate. However, the 28-year-old's .203 average and 32.2% K% have his production sitting below league average, as per his 88 wRC+. Nonetheless, Rogers' power makes him a fine fit in two-catcher leagues while making him a solid streaming option in attractive matchups.

Jake Rogers Available Off The Bench Tuesday

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that catcher Jake Rogers (hand) doesn't have a broken bone in his left hand and will be available to pinch hit or catch on Tuesday against the visiting New York Yankees. Carson Kelly will make a second straight start behind the dish and bat ninth against Yankees right-hander Michael King. Rogers' hand was hit when he was called for catcher's interference last week and he's receiving a second straight day off on Tuesday. The 28-year-old backstop does have a career-high 15 home runs in 88 games for Detroit this year, but he's also hitting just .203 (53-for-261) with 37 RBI, 11 doubles and 36 runs scored in his 292 plate appearances.

Jake Rogers On The Bench Wednesday

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers is out of the starting lineup Wednesday night against the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Bailey Ober. Rogers helped steer the Tigers to a 6-0 victory on Tuesday night with a seventh-inning solo home run as he continues to establish himself as one of the better overall catchers in the American League. While he's hitting just .214, Rogers has 14 home runs, a 9.7 BB%, and a .741 OPS in 76 appearances, good for a 103 wRC+. Add in his elite defense behind the plate and Rogers' 2.0 fWAR ranks eighth among catchers with at least 240 plate appearances and fourth in the American League. The 28-year-old's encouraging season could put him on the fantasy radar in 2024 while he's already an asset in two catcher leagues.

Jake Rogers Grabs Some Rest Saturday

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers will take the day off on Saturday with the team facing the visiting Toronto Blue Jays. With Rogers starting on the bench, Eric Haase is behind the plate and will hit seventh in the batting order against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Rogers is hitting just over the Mendoza Line at .201 (32-for-159), but he does have a useful 11 home runs in 57 games for the weak catcher position in fantasy. He's been much better of late at the plate as well, going 9-for-30 (.300) with two home runs, two doubles, three RBI and seven runs scored in his last 10 games since June 25. Haase is hitting just .213 (45-for-211) with only three homers and should be avoided against the All-Star Gausman.
