Jake Rogers Stats

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.

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.
