• Tigers' Jake Rogers: Avoids arbitration with Detroit

  30D ago • By RotoWire

  The Tigers and Rogers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.05 million contract Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. Rogers was leap-frogged by Dillon Dingler in the Tigers' catcher pecking order in 2025, but the team still values the former enough to retain him as Dingler's backup. A career .200/.270/.386 hitter over parts of five seasons, Rogers had been eligible for salary arbitration for the final time.

• Tigers' Jake Rogers: Plates two in win

  09/01/2025 • By RotoWire

  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

  08/24/2025 • By 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

  07/30/2025 • By 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

  07/27/2025 • By 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.
