The Tigers activated Rogers (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Rogers missed six weeks with a strained oblique but is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals, catching for Tarik Skubal. With Rogers reinstated, Detroit designated Tomas Nido for assignment. Rogers and Dillon Dingler are likely to share time behind the plate moving forward.

Diaz is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Tampa Bay.

It's the first day off in May for Diaz, who is in a 3-for-26 rut at the dish. Victor Caratini will handle catching duties and bat fifth for the Astros.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

It's a routine day off for Diaz, as Martin Maldonado will bat ninth and catch for Dylan Cease. Diaz has slashed .239/.314/.370 with three home runs, six RBI, 14 runs scored and a 10:20 BB:K across 103 plate appearances this season.

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.

Fry (elbow) shifted his rehab assignment Monday from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to Double-A Akron.

Fry went 0-for-8 with two walks and three strikeouts over his three contests in rookie ball, which marked his first game action since the Guardians' ALCS matchup with the Yankees last October. The 29-year-old resides on Cleveland's 60-day injured list while he recovers from the UCL revision surgery he underwent on his right elbow last November, which will prevent him from playing defense until 2026. He'll continue to serve as a designated hitter during his rehab assignment and could be a potential platoon mate for Kyle Manzardo with the big club once he's activated him from the IL.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Cubs.

The backstop took fellow rookie Ben Brown deep in the first inning, going back-to-back with Jesus Sanchez to lead off the game. Ramirez has cooled down a little since a blistering start to his big-league career, but he's still playing nearly every day and delivering consistent production. Through his first 95 MLB plate appearances, Ramirez is slashing .267/.337/.593 with 10 doubles, six homers, 11 runs and 12 RBI.

Moreno went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-5 win over the Dodgers.

Both of Moreno's homers this season have come over his last eight games. The catcher is 12-for-34 (.353) with seven RBI, one stolen base and six runs scored in that span. He is now slashing .264/.331/.364 over 133 plate appearances on the year while seeing a majority of the time behind the plate over Jose Herrera.

Langeliers went 1-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.

Langeliers had gone 0-for-9 with two walks and two strikeouts over the previous three games. He ended that slump with a first-inning RBI single to give the Athletics a short-lived 2-1 lead. He's also logged two steals over his last six games, giving him three thefts on the year, one shy of his career high from 2024. The catcher is hitting .250 with a .758 OPS, eight home runs, 24 RBI and 19 runs scored across 42 games.

Pages went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 11-4 win against the Tigers.

Pages gave the Cardinals a 10-0 lead with a two-run shot to left field in the seventh inning. Though the second-year backstop was expected to get less playing time after Ivan Herrera returned from the injured list May 9, Pages has started behind the plate in four of St. Louis' past five contests while Herrera has served as the DH each game during that span. Pages hasn't exactly been swinging a hot bat, though, as he's batting just .205 through 12 games in May, with Monday's homer being his first during that span.

Contreras went 4-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Monday's win over the Orioles.

Contreras knocked an RBI double in the fifth inning before hitting a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth. He also swiped second after knocking in his second run of the contest. After an 11-game stretch without a multi-hit performance, he's collected three over his last five appearances. The recent hot streak has bumped his OPS up from .655 to .741 across 189 plate appearances.
