Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers is showing signs of recovery from his left oblique injury, which sidelined him on April 8. Although he expressed optimism during a recent update, no specific timeline for his return has been established. Rogers reported improved feelings during workouts, indicating he's following the rehabilitation protocols closely. Meanwhile, rookie Dillon Dingler has stepped in as the primary replacement, while veteran Tomás Nido has provided a seasoned presence in the clubhouse.

Manager A.J. Hinch previously warned that oblique injuries typically require extended recovery time, potentially a month or more. This cautious approach underscores the team's commitment to ensuring Rogers returns to form rather than rushing him back into the lineup. The Tigers will continue monitoring Rogers' progress, with the hope of having him back in action in a few weeks.
