Jake Rogers Grabs Some Rest Saturday
1 year agoDetroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers will take the day off on Saturday with the team facing the visiting Toronto Blue Jays. With Rogers starting on the bench, Eric Haase is behind the plate and will hit seventh in the batting order against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Rogers is hitting just over the Mendoza Line at .201 (32-for-159), but he does have a useful 11 home runs in 57 games for the weak catcher position in fantasy. He's been much better of late at the plate as well, going 9-for-30 (.300) with two home runs, two doubles, three RBI and seven runs scored in his last 10 games since June 25. Haase is hitting just .213 (45-for-211) with only three homers and should be avoided against the All-Star Gausman.
