2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rogers has some clear holes in his game, but he's at least seen regular playing time the last two seasons, which has boosted his fantasy value. After a breakout 2023 in which he sported a .730 OPS and blasted 21 home runs across 107 games, the catcher's production took a step back in 2024. Rogers posted a .607 OPS with only 10 long balls across 102 contests. The glaring hole in his game is the ability to make consistent contact, as Rogers is a career .202 hitter with a nearly 33 percent strikeout rate. Rogers could offset that to some degree if he took more free passes, but he had just a 6.5 percent walk rate last season. As it stands, the 29-year-old profiles as a free swinger who can drive the ball over the fence on occasion but also endure long slumps. There are plenty of more well-rounded catching options in fantasy, though Rogers will maintain some fantasy appeal as long as he's playing most days. Right now, he only has Dillon Dingler around as competition, so Rogers still looks like the clear top option behind the plate in Detroit. Read Past Outlooks
In lineup for Game 5
Rogers (wrist) will start at catcher and bat eighth Saturday in Game 5 of the ALDS versus Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Rogers was removed from Game 4 due to a wrist injury, but X-rays came back negative after the game. He'll now attempt to play through any lingering soreness and continue his semi-hot streak, as he's gone 5-for-18 during the postseason.

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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
2020
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
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.
