Jake Rogers Good To Go For Game 5, X-Rays On Hand Come Back Negative
19 seconds agoDetroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers told reporters on Friday that he should be good to go tomorrow for their pivotal Game 5 against the Cleveland Guardians. Rogers took a few foul balls off his left hand during Game 4 and was pinch-hit for in the bottom of the ninth. X-rays come back clean and he received treatment Friday morning. Rogers said his hand is a little sore but is doing better than expected. His presence won't be much of a boon from a fantasy perspective as his bat isn't the greatest, but it will be great news for Tigers fans overall as Rogers has been the only catcher that Game 5 starter Tarik Skubal has pitched to all season. Any change to the presumptive AL Cy Young winner's secret sauce in a series finale may not be the smartest move. DFS players shouldn't expect much value out of Rogers at the plate, though his value behind the plate will be much greater to Skubal and Tigers fans alike.
