Jake Rogers Powers Tigers Past Mariners
by Jesse Garcia | Tigers Correspondent | Thu, Aug 8th 8:27am EDT
Jake Rogers went 1-for-3 with a home run, an RBI, and two runs scored in the Tigers' 6-2 victory over the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact:
Rogers's performance, highlighted by his eighth homer of the season, provided a much-needed boost to his otherwise lackluster batting average of .194. Despite the low average, his power numbers are respectable, especially for a catcher. Fantasy managers should note that while Rogers's high strikeout rate (30.5%) and low walk rate (5.6%) limit his on-base potential, his ability to contribute home runs and occasional RBIs could make him a viable option in deeper leagues or formats that heavily reward power statistics. His performance in this game could be a sign of a potential uptick, but consistency will be key for Rogers moving forward.
