Rogers, a Tigers catcher, was part of the 2017 Verlander trade and remains a backup on MLB rosters. He carries limited playing time upside but can contribute in sparse appearances when called upon.

Rogers went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run triple in the fifth to spark Detroit's offense while handling Skubal behind the plate. He also drew a mound visit that preceded a key strikeout sequence, and his effort helped propel the Tigers to a 5-0 lead.

Rogers supplied the big hit in the fifth with a lofted, game-changing triple and later lined a leadoff double in the eighth, sparking a threat that Detroit couldn’t cash in. His power and clutch presence provide a meaningful fantasy floor when in the lineup.

Rogers, batting ninth, delivered two RBIs on two hits, including an RBI double and RBI single off Wacha, fueling Detroit’s 4-2 lead. He also anchored the catching staff and contributed to a victory that stretched the Tigers’ win streak.

Jake Rogers provided a brief spark for the Tigers with a hit in the third inning, but overall, the team lacked the offensive support needed to capitalize on pitching performances.
