Báez Back, Rogers Out for Tigers | Detroit Tigers News

Javier Báez is back with the Detroit Tigers, activated from the 60-day injured list after a month-long ankle absence, bringing energy and versatility to a team in need of a boost. His return forces catcher Jake Rogers—once a core piece since the Verlander trade—to be designated for assignment, a tough but necessary move as Dillon Dingler takes over catching duties. Báez, primed to play shortstop and center field alongside James Outman and Matt Vierling, is expected to be a key asset in late-game situations and clubhouse morale. Manager A.J. Hinch confirmed the whole team lit up at his return, signaling a renewed push as the Tigers aim to climb the standings with upcoming off days and a chance to make the most of Báez’s all-around impact.
