Jake Rogers undeterred: Tigers' rehabbing catcher unfazed by lockout or Barnhart trade

Detroit — This is a milestone week for Tigers catcher Jake Rogers.

It’s been 17 weeks since Dr. Keith Meister performed Tommy John surgery and replaced the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. When he showed up for his rehab work at the TMI Sports Medicine complex in Arlington, Texas, on Monday, Rogers was cleared to begin tossing medicine balls with two hands.
