Jake Rogers May Not Play Again This Year
3 years agoDetroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (forearm) has been out since July 19 due to a right forearm strain. On Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive reported that Tigers manager A.J. Hinch was feeling "less and less optimistic" that Rogers would be able to play again this year. There's about a month to go in the season and there's no need for the Tigers to rush the 26-year-old Rogers back to the club, so it certainly seems likely that we won't see him again this year. Rogers was a solid bat for the team this year, slashing .239/.306/.496 with six home runs, 17 RBI and 17 runs over 38 games. Eric Haase is the team's primary catcher with Dustin Garneau backing him up.
