Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers is progressing in his rehabilitation from an oblique injury, although his return timeline remains uncertain. Rogers was placed on the 10-day injured list on April 8 due to left oblique tightness, which he suffered during batting practice before a game against the New York Yankees. The team has not provided a specific return date for Rogers, who is undergoing daily workouts with trainers to strengthen his oblique and prepare for his comeback.
In Rogers' absence, rookie Dillon Dingler has taken over catching duties, supported by veteran Tomás Nido. Manager A.J. Hinch initially indicated that Rogers could be sidelined for at least a month with an oblique strain. Meanwhile, pitcher Keider Montero has been called up from Triple-A Toledo to bolster the Tigers' pitching rotation during a busy schedule stretch. Foley, another promising pitcher, has been sidelined with a right shoulder strain, prompting cautious monitoring of his recovery progress.
