Jake Rogers Back In The Lineup Wednesday
1 year agoDetroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (hand) will return to the starting lineup Wednesday versus New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole. Rogers injured his hand on a catcher's interference play last week and has given way to Carson Kelly behind the plate for the first two games of the Tigers' current four-game set with the Yankees. Rogers has flashed some notable power with 15 home runs while boasting an impressive 80th percentile ranking in hard-hit rate while sitting in the 79th percentile in barrel rate. However, the 28-year-old's .203 average and 32.2% K% have his production sitting below league average, as per his 88 wRC+. Nonetheless, Rogers' power makes him a fine fit in two-catcher leagues while making him a solid streaming option in attractive matchups.
