LAKELAND, Fla. — Jake Rogers is going to have to wait.
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch announced Thursday that Grayson Greiner has won the backup catching job out of spring training and will be included on the Opening Day roster. Wilson Ramos is the starting catcher.
Rogers, ranked by MLB Pipeline at No. 16 in the Tigers' farm system, is headed for the alternate training site in Toledo, where the 25-year-old will get reps on offense and defense in April leading up to the Triple-A campaign in May.
