The Detroit Tigers face a setback with the placement of catcher Jake Rogers on the 10-day injured list due to left oblique tightness. Originally set to start against the New York Yankees, Rogers was scratched from the lineup shortly before the game commenced. To fill the void, the Tigers have called up catcher Tomás Nido from Triple-A Toledo while Dillon Dingler steps in as the starting catcher. Rogers had established himself as the primary catcher for ace Tarik Skubal, who will now have to adjust to a different backstop for the first time since 2023.

In his brief 2025 season, Rogers participated in six games, hitting .222 with a .697 OPS. His absence might complicate the game plan for Skubal, who has relied heavily on Rogers, particularly during his award-winning Cy Young campaign. Additionally, this roster adjustment comes amidst the ongoing challenges with outfielder Wenceel Pérez being moved to the 60-day injured list, who is nursing a back injury. The Tigers' depth will be tested as they navigate through these early-season injuries.
