Tigers catcher Jake Rogers injured in freak mishap
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch told reporters in Bradenton, Florida, Wednesday that catcher Jake Rogers was scratched from the game against the Pirates with a mild concussion.
Rogers was injured in a freak mishap in the batting cage. He lost control of his bat and it ended up hitting him in the face on a ricochet.
There is no concussion protocol in spring but Hinch said he expects Rogers to be ready for Opening Day. The Tigers open at San Diego next Thursday at 4:10 p.m.
The Tigers lost to the Pirates, 3-1, on Wednesday night. Casey Mize gave up three earned runs over four innings with six strikeouts.

The 30-year-old catcher was struck in the face by his own bat during a drill in the batting cage Tuesday, March 17, at the Detroit Tigers' spring training facility in Lakeland.
Rogers suffered a mild concussion and received stitches, but the Tigers expect him to be active and available for Opening Day on March 26 against the San Diego Padres.
"It's mild, so we expect it to resolve itself before Opening Day," manager A.J. Hinch said before Wednesday's game in spring training. "But it was a scary incident and a very unintended mishap in the cage that brought a lot of concern."

Rogers sustains mild concussion after 'scary incident' in the cage
BRADENTON, Fla. — The Tigers have a history of bizarre but scary Spring Training injuries, from Mark Fidrych tearing cartilage in his knee while shagging fly balls in the outfield to Spencer Torkelson slicing open his right index finger while trying to open a can of beans without a can opener available. But with Jake Rogers, they hoped they had avoided a major injury out of a freak but scary incident in the batting cage.
Rogers was diagnosed with a mild concussion and required stitches to his face when he was struck by his own bat during batting drills in the cage, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Rogers was scratched from the travel roster for Wednesday’s game against the Pirates, but Hinch said the Tigers are hopeful the veteran backup catcher will be cleared in time for Opening Day.
