The Baltimore Orioles acquired catcher Jake Rogers from the Detroit Tigers on Thursday in exchange for Double-A right-hander Zane Barnhart. Rogers had been designated for assignment by Detroit earlier in the week. Barnhart will report to Double-A Erie as part of the deal.
The move comes with Adley Rutschman placed on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation, his third IL stint of the 2026 season. Rutschman previously missed time with left ankle inflammation (April 11–21) and a concussion (June 19–28). Rogers gives Baltimore a veteran option behind the plate as the Orioles approach the August 3rd trade deadline.
