Tigers DFA Rogers as Baez makes emotional return to the lineup
Detroit designated catcher Jake Rogers for assignment to clear a spot for Javier Baez, who was activated after his ankle rehab. Rogers, a long-time Tiger and 2017 acquisition, exits amid a limited season at .161, while Baez provides veteran energy and added versatility in the lineup as Eduardo Valencia pushes for more opportunities; the Tigers may look to trade Rogers before he hits waivers as they recalibrate the roster around Baez’s return.
