Tigers Trade Rogers to Baltimore as Orioles Try to Solve Catcher Woes
Baltimore added Rogers for catching depth as its top two catchers remain on the injured list, while Detroit cleared a roster spot for Javier Báez.
- On Thursday, the Baltimore Orioles acquired catcher Jake Rogers from the Detroit Tigers for minor league right-hander Zane Barnhart, seeking an experienced upgrade behind the plate.
- Baltimore's top two catchers, Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo, remain on the injured list with left wrist inflammation and right shoulder issues respectively.
- Since July 19, replacement catchers Chadwick Tromp, Yohel Pozo, and Sam Huff combined for two hits in 35 at-bats with 16 strikeouts, providing minimal offensive production.
- Rogers is expected to replace either Tromp or Pozo on the roster while batting.161 with three home runs this season; the Orioles picked up the remainder of his $3 million salary.
- Rutschman and Basallo are expected to be re-evaluated during the upcoming homestand, though neither appears close to returning. Barnhart will report to Erie as a minor league assignment.
