Tigers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Yahoo! Sports - MLB - Detroit Tigers News — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 08:33:18 +0000

Soon the speculation will start on left-hander Kenny Rogers, if it hasn't already.

Rogers, 43, has been roughed up since the All-Star break, and Thursday marked his shortest start of the season when he had to come out in the third inning after the first four batters he faced all singled.

Manager Jim Leyland hints that Rogers, who had a strained leg muscle in his last start, might be fighting through an injury. Rogers, as is typical, declined to offer any excuses.

The Tigers are not likely to offer him a contract, given his age, the way he's been hit the last two months and because they're already paying big money to two left-handed pitchers (Nate Robertson and Dontrelle Willis) who are having disappointing seasons.
