The Tigers are reinstating catcher Jake Rogers from the injured list after a nearly six-week recovery from an oblique strain. In his absence, Dillon Dingler performed well, hitting .292 with four home runs, possibly complicating the team's decision on playing time at catcher. Rogers, despite a lackluster batting average of .198 since last season, is valued for his defensive prowess and potential to regain better offensive form, having previously hit 21 home runs in 2023. The team's management will need to balance the contributions of both catchers moving forward.
Rogers, who hit .198/.262/.351 since last season, has strong defensive skills that ensure he'll maintain a key role for the Tigers even if his bat struggles.
Dillon Dingler has performed strongly in Rogers' absence, hitting .292/.319/.462 and making a case for more playing time behind the plate.
