Jake Rogers Stats

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (elbow) posted a video on Twitter of himself throwing after undergoing Tommy John surgery last September. Despite the progress, Rogers is likely to be out for most, if not all, of the 2022 season, even with the delay due to the ongoing lockout. If the 26-year-old does make it back later this year, he's unlikely to see much playing time behind the dish behind Tucker Barnhart and Eric Haase. Rogers hit .239 (27-for-113) with six home runs and 17 RBI in 127 plate appearances over 38 games for the Tigers last year before undergoing Tommy John surgery. In parts of two big-league seasons, he has a .182/.264/.378 slash line with 10 homers and 25 RBI in 255 plate appearances.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (forearm) underwent Tommy John surgery in Dallas on Wednesday, manager AJ Hinch told reporters. The 26-year-old has been out of Detroit's lineup since July 19 after being diagnosed with a right forearm strain. Rogers will likely be sidelined until partway through the 2022 season, which is unfortunate given he was having a solid season at the plate hitting .239/.306/.496 with six home runs, 17 RBI, and 17 runs scored on 27 hits. Eric Haase and Dustin Garneau will likely alternate catching duties down the stretch since the Tigers are so far out of a Wild Card spot.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (forearm) has been out since July 19 due to a right forearm strain. On Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive reported that Tigers manager A.J. Hinch was feeling "less and less optimistic" that Rogers would be able to play again this year. There's about a month to go in the season and there's no need for the Tigers to rush the 26-year-old Rogers back to the club, so it certainly seems likely that we won't see him again this year. Rogers was a solid bat for the team this year, slashing .239/.306/.496 with six home runs, 17 RBI and 17 runs over 38 games. Eric Haase is the team's primary catcher with Dustin Garneau backing him up.
