Jake Rogers joins Orioles as Tigers retool ahead of deadline
Summary

Jake Rogers was activated by the Baltimore Orioles on July 31, 2026, following his designation for assignment by the Detroit Tigers. The move comes as the Tigers face a potential teardown after losing 22 of 28 games in May and sitting below.500 as the trade deadline approaches. Rogers expressed regret over not having the chance to properly say goodbye to pitcher Tarik Skubal, who is also likely to be traded soon. The Tigers continue to reshuffle their roster, having already sidelined Casey Mize in preparation for potential trades, creating uncertainty within the team.
