2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rogers emerged as Detroit's primary catcher in 2023, thanks in large part to his power production. The 28-year-old mashed 21 home runs in 107 games. He homered roughly once every 16 at-bats, though he was very much a boom-or-bust option at the plate. Rogers batted just .221 and struck out 32.3% of the time. Heading into 2024, fantasy managers won't complain too loudly about a low batting average if Rogers continues to hit the ball over the wall. With a fly-ball rate of nearly 42% last year, the backstop has the look of a player who is certainly trying to rack up home runs. While this leaves Rogers as a fairly one-dimensional option, there are a few reasons to think he could take another step forward. For one, he will be another year removed from the Tommy John surgery that cost him all of the 2022 season. Secondly, the Tigers don't really have anyone on hand to push Rogers for playing time, with journeyman Carson Kelly set to serve as the backup catcher. Rogers has his limitations, but he can be a valuable fantasy asset if he continues to hit for power at a thin position. Read Past Outlooks

Back on bench Wednesday
Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
Rogers will retreat to the bench after he started at catcher in both of the Tigers' last two games, going 2-for-8 with a home run and three RBI. The 29-year-old is slashing .226/.284/.387 overall for the season and still seems to be part of a timeshare at catcher with Carson Kelly, who gets the starting nod Wednesday.

Stat Review
How does Jake Rogers compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![DET](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/baseball/100DET.png?v=6)
Starts not limited to catcher
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch indicated Wednesday that Rogers could see starts at a position other than catcher by saying that "both catchers [will be] in the lineup at the same time," reports Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.
ANALYSIS
Rogers made one appearance in left field last season and also saw action at third base once in 2021, but he's most likely to see additional at-bats as a designated hitter. The 28-year-old hit just .221 and had a 32.3 percent strikeout rate in 2023, but he clubbed 21 homers and had a .730 OPS.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
After undergoing Tommy John surgery toward the end of the 2021 season, Rogers missed all of 2022 as he rehabbed. He has been throwing in the offseason, with a goal of being fully ready to go for spring training. If that happens, Rogers should fit into the catching mix for Detroit, though it appears that Eric Haase is the starter heading into 2023. Haase worked in tandem with Tucker Barnhart in 2022, but the latter is a free agent, so playing time could be available, at least in a reserve role. Rogers is primarily known as a defensive catcher, which is evident in his career .182/.264/.378 slash line. Heading into his age-28 season, it's unlikely that Rogers takes a huge step forward as a hitter, particularly coming off his surgery and the subsequent missed time. He's largely off the fantasy radar as a backup player with limited offensive upside.
