Jake Rogers Stats

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (elbow) was removed from Friday's Grapefruit League game against the New York Yankees early after being drilled on his left elbow by a pitch. He was replaced by Andrew Knapp. Hopefully Rogers' injury isn't very serious, as he came into the day hitting a solid .333 (7-for-21) with two doubles, three home runs, three RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base in 11 spring contests. The 27-year-old missed all of last year while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, and his fantasy appeal will be limited in 2023 behind Eric Haase in Detroit. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere in two-catcher leagues, as Rogers has a career batting average under .200 in his time in the big leagues.

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (elbow) has started a normal offseason conditioning program and is throwing up to 105 feet without symptoms, according to the team. Rogers is expected to be ready for spring training next year. He was swinging a bate late last season, but he wasn't ready for full activity. The 27-year-old resumed throwing in early November after having Tommy John surgery in September of 2021. Rogers is regarded as a defense-first catcher and won't have much appeal in fantasy leagues next year, even if he's fully healthy. Eric Haase is the team's top catcher on the depth chart for the time being.

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.
