Player Outlook
Jake Rogers emerged as Detroit's primary catcher in 2023, thanks in large part to his power production. The 28-year-old mashed 21 home runs in 107 games. He homered roughly once every 16 at-bats, though he was very much a boom-or-bust option at the plate. Rogers batted just .221 and struck out 32.3% of the time. Heading into 2024, fantasy managers won't complain too loudly about a low batting average if Rogers continues to hit the ball over the wall. With a fly-ball rate of nearly 42% last year, the backstop has the look of a player who is certainly trying to rack up home runs. While this leaves Rogers as a fairly one-dimensional option, there are a few reasons to think he could take another step forward. For one, he will be another year removed from the Tommy John surgery that cost him all of the 2022 season. Secondly, the Tigers don't really have anyone on hand to push Rogers for playing time, with journeyman Carson Kelly set to serve as the backup catcher. Rogers has his limitations, but he can be a valuable fantasy asset if he continues to hit for power at a thin position.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Doubles, scores twice in win

    Rotowire
    Rogers went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Guardians. Rogers was part of an offensive onslaught for Detroit, and he extended his hitting streak to six games in the process. The catcher is still batting just .194 for the season, though he was batting .125 before his current hitting streak. More concerning is the fact that Rogers only has two home runs through 23 games this year after clubbing 21 long balls in 107 contests last season. However, his recent hot streak provides some hope that the power will come.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Back on bench Monday

    Rotowire
    Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians. Rogers and Carson Kelly have now alternated turns behind the plate over Detroit's last eight games, with both backstops making four starts apiece. The timeshare arrangement will make it difficult to extract much fantasy value from Rogers, who is batting .179 with two home runs and five RBI over 22 games this season.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Idle Saturday

    Rotowire
    Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees. Rogers will sit out Saturday's contest despite recording a base hit in six of his last seven games. Carson Kelly will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Resting Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. Rogers will get a breather for Wednesday's day game after he was behind the plate Tuesday night for the Tigers' 11-6 win in the second game of a doubleheader with the Cardinals. Carson Kelly will pick up the start at catcher Wednesday.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Blasts second homer

    Rotowire
    Rogers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored during Sunday's 4-1 victory over the Royals. Rogers' sixth-inning two-out blast spelled the end of the day for Kansas City starter Michael Wacha and provided the winning margin for the Tigers. It was just the second multi-hit game for Rogers, who raised his season average to .164 with two homers and three RBI.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Struggles continue Saturday

    Rotowire
    Rogers went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in Saturday's loss to the Twins and is now batting just .086 this season. Rogers is scuffling, and he's only delivered one home run so far with a nearly 40 percent strikeout rate. The 29-year-old has never been a great contact hitter at the MLB level, so if he's not providing power, his fantasy value is pretty minimal. Rogers is also ceding more playing time behind the plate to Carson Kelly, as the former has appeared in 13 games so far and the latter has made 16 appearances.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Back on bench Thursday

    Rotowire
    Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. Rogers had started behind the dish in both of the Tigers' last two games, but he'll hit the bench for the series finale while Carson Kelly handles catching duties for Detroit. The two backstops have been deployed in a timeshare this season, with Kelly drawing 10 starts at catcher compared to Rogers' nine.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Sitting for second straight game

    Rotowire
    Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. Rogers is on the bench for the second day in a row and the fourth time in six games, with each of those absences coming against right-handed pitching. At least for the time being, he may have moved into the smaller side of a timeshare with Carson Kelly behind the dish.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Sitting out Saturday

    Rotowire
    Rogers is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Athletics. Carson Kelly will draw the start at catcher and bat ninth Saturday against Oakland right-hander Paul Blackburn.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Rogers is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Mets. Carson Kelly is receiving a second straight start at catcher, although Rogers was in the designated hitter spot for Monday's game. Rogers is 1-for-10 with six strikeouts in his first three tilts this season, although that one hit was a home run.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Will sit Saturday

    Rotowire

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Could see time at DH

    Rotowire
    Rogers could see some time at DH this year on days that Carson Kelly starts behind the plate, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. With Detroit only carrying two catchers on the roster, conventional wisdom would suggest that one of Rogers or Kelly would always be on the bench to provide depth if needed. However, manager A.J. Hinch suggested that both backstops could play at the same time, particularly against left-handed pitchers. This would be a boon for Rogers, who is expected to cede a decent amount of playing time to Kelly behind the dish.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: May cede playing time

    Rotowire
    Carson Kelly is expected to play often this season, per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, which could cut into Rogers' role. Rogers should still see the majority of the playing time behind the plate after clubbing 21 home runs a season ago, but he may be at risk of sitting fairly regularly, especially if Kelly plays well. Even in something of a timeshare, Rogers offers fantasy upside due to his power potential, though he's unlikely to contribute much in the batting average category given his free-swinging approach.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Hits first spring home run

    Rotowire
    Rogers went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles. The home run was the first for Rogers this spring, and he's now batting .250 with a robust .931 OPS in Grapefruit League play. Rogers is locked in as Detroit's starting catcher, and after hitting 21 long balls last year, there's some fantasy upside due to power potential. However, he also will likely continue to have a low batting average and high strikeout rate as an all-or-nothing type slugger.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: On bench Saturday

    Rotowire
    Rogers is not in the lineup Saturday against the Guardians. Rogers will sit in the penultimate game of the season after going 2-for-4 against the Guardians on Friday. Barring an appearance off the bench, he will finish with a slash line of .297/.531/.849 and five home runs in September. Carson Kelly will start behind the plate and bat ninth.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Pops 21st home run

    Rotowire
    Rogers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's suspended game against the Royals, which resumed Thursday. Rogers hit his 21st home run of the season in the eighth inning as he continues to increase his career-best total. He came into the year with 10 total long balls in his first two MLB campaigns. Heading into 2024, Rogers has established some fantasy value due to his power potential and his role as Detroit's top catcher, though his upside is capped due to his high strikeout rate and perennially low batting average.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Sitting Thursday

    Rotowire
    Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup Thursday against Kansas City. Rogers will get a breather Thursday after going 1-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in his previous game. Carson Kelly will get the nod behind the dish and bat eighth while Rogers is out.

  • Tigers' Jake Rogers: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Rogers is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's tilt versus the Royals, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. He has now yielded to Carson Kelly in four of the last six contests. September has been one of Rogers' best offensive months to this point, as he's put up an .810 OPS with four home runs.
