2023 Fantasy Outlook
After undergoing Tommy John surgery toward the end of the 2021 season, Rogers missed all of 2022 as he rehabbed. He has been throwing in the offseason, with a goal of being fully ready to go for spring training. If that happens, Rogers should fit into the catching mix for Detroit, though it appears that Eric Haase is the starter heading into 2023. Haase worked in tandem with Tucker Barnhart in 2022, but the latter is a free agent, so playing time could be available, at least in a reserve role. Rogers is primarily known as a defensive catcher, which is evident in his career .182/.264/.378 slash line. Heading into his age-28 season, it's unlikely that Rogers takes a huge step forward as a hitter, particularly coming off his surgery and the subsequent missed time. He's largely off the fantasy radar as a backup player with limited offensive upside. Read Past Outlooks

CDetroit Tigers
May 30, 2023
Rogers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
Rogers has been losing playing time to Eric Haase behind the plate lately, but Haase started in left field Tuesday, which opened up a spot for Rogers. He responded with his sixth home run of the season across 35 games. The occasional power is about all that Rogers can be counted on, as he's batting just .161 and striking out nearly 36 percent of the time.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Rogers has played only sparingly in the major leagues, earning 128 plate appearances in 2019. It appeared he had chance to break through for a more substantial role in 2020, though the shortened campaign limited Rogers' ability to prove himself. Rogers has always been highly regarded for his defensive work, specifically as a receiver and game caller. Like many catchers, however, Rogers' bat is suspect. He racked up high 20 percent strikeout rates at several stops in the minor leagues and whiffed at a 39.8 percent rate in his brief major-league debut. On the other hand, he has decent raw power, evidenced by ISOs that were regularly at or slightly above .200. Looking forward to 2021, Rogers will have to fight for playing time once again with the most likely scenario being that he begins the season in the minor leagues with a strong chance to join Detroit at various points throughout the campaign.
Rogers was part of the return Detroit got when they shipped Justin Verlander to Houston. Rogers played at three levels in 2019, doing well in Double-A, adjusting in Triple-A and drowning in the majors with a .125/.222/.259 slash line in 128 plate appearances. The good news is he can still win Rookie of the Year in 2020! Rogers is the better of the two between Rogers and Grayson Greiner, but that's not saying much, and Austin Romine is now in town to serve as the primary backstop. Some backups have appeal in mono-league formats, but we're talking about the eighth or ninth hitter in the Detroit lineup when he starts. Rogers is still only 24 years old and has the minor-league profile to suggest he could be a big-league regular, but he is not there just yet.
