CLEVELAND — Eric Haase is out. Carson Kelly is in.
Jake Rogers is here to stay.
The Detroit Tigers shuffled their catching roster before Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field, signing Kelly to the minimum salary for the final 40 games of the 2023 season with a $3.5 million club option for the 2024 campaign. The Tigers didn't want to carry three catchers on the 26-man roster, so Haase was designated for assignment to create space.
"With six weeks left in the season, there's a crash course for us to get to know him and for him to get to know us," Tigers manager A.
