| September 6, 2008 Kenny Rogers will miss his next scheduled start, according to the Detroit Free Press. Manager Jim Leyland believes he is dealing with a painful hip and said, "It's not his arm. I think he needs to freshen up his body a little bit and get his hip a little better." |
| September 4, 2008 Kenny Rogers may be in the final month of his big league career if he can't pull out of his recent slump, according to MLive. "I don't want to just hang on to wear the uniform. I'm being realistic in where I am in my age and career." |

| April 23, 2008 At first glance, we would think veteran starter Kenny Rogers would have enjoyed the 6-19 victory over the Texas Rangers, but the Detroit hurler failed to get his team off on the right foot and left without a decision.

Rogers threw 73 pitches (44 for strikes) in that short outing, surrendering three walks and earning no strike outs. |
| April 23, 2008 Kenny Rogers will take the mound tonight as the Tigers host the Rangers, according to MLB.com. Rogers is 1-3 with a 6.33 ERA, and is 6-3 with a 3.80 ERA lifetime over 15 appearances against the Rangers. |

| April 8, 2008 Kenny Rogers is set to take the hill for the winless Tigers today, according to MLB.com. Rogers notably pitched well in his first start, as he only allowed two earned runs on five hits over six innings. He holds a 11-7 career record against Boston with a 4.81 ERA. The Tigers really need to end their losing streak and Rogers seems up to the challenge. |
| April 2, 2008 Kenny Rogers was dealt his first loss of the season against the Royals on Wednesday, as he allowed two runs on five hits over six innings, with one walk and four strikeouts. He had a fairly solid spring training and should bounce back in his next trip to the hill. |
| March 27, 2008 Kenny Rogers improved his spring record to 2-0 as he only allowed two runs on three hits over four innings against Philadelphia on Thursday, with no walks and one strikeout. His ERA now stands at 3.44 and he should make a fine late round draft pick, as long as he stays healthy. |
| March 17, 2008 Kenny Rogers had a solid outing against the Reds on Monday as he only allowed two runs on six hits over five innings, with one walk and one strikeout. Rogers should make a fine late round draft pick, as long as he stays healthy. |
| March 12, 2008 Kenny Rogers became the first Detroit pitcher to work at least five innings in a game this spring. The Tigers left-handed veteran struggled in the second inning but retired the final 10 batters he faced for the win. Rogers is being ignored in most traditional mixed leagues. His ADP, according to Mock Draft Central, is the 29th round of 30 round formats. |
| February 17, 2008 Kenny Rogers is 43-years-old, but he still has a lot to offer the Tigers both on and off the field according to MLB.com. "Kenny knows exactly how he goes about his business," manager Jim Leyland said. "He knows how to prepare himself." Rogers will have to once again prove himself after throwing only 63 innings last season, the lowest total of his career. Rogers can still win games but it's been three years since he totaled 100 K and his WHIP hasn't been below 1.26 since 1998, so tread carefully. |
