Dingler is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Dingler will get a breather for the afternoon game Thursday after he had started behind the plate in each of the previous three contests. Jake Rogers will handle catching duties for the Tigers, forming a battery with starting pitcher Dietrich Enns.

Story went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.

Story got the Red Sox rolling with a two-out, two-run single in the first inning, but the offense went flat the rest of the game. For Story, it was his fourth multi-RBI game in June and fifth over the last 24 contests, during which he's driven in 20 runs. He's second on the team with 41 RBI, second only to the departed Rafael Devers (58).

Campbell started at first base and went 0-for-4 for Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.

Campbell struck out four times but handled the defensive chores without an issue. It was his third game with the WooSox since the Red Sox sent him down. He served as the designated hitter in the first two contests. Worcester manager Chad Tracy told Christopher Smith of MassLive.com that Campbell will play first base "a few games a week." In addition to first base, Campbell will play second base and center field.

Gray (wrist) threw a bullpen session Wednesday prior to the Rangers' game against the Orioles at Camden Yards, MLB.com reports.

Gray threw his second bullpen session within the last week and third overall. He'll get one or two more before the Rangers engage in discussions about the right-hander's next steps.

Osuna started in left field and went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Orioles.

All of Osuna's offensive activity came in the fifth inning, when he walked, stole a base and scored on a Corey Seager single. The theft was his first in 17 games since having his contract selected at the end of May. Osuna got the start after Wyatt Langford reported tightness in his left side. Evan Carter replaced Langford defensively in center field, while Osuna slotted in for him in the order.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-0 win over Baltimore.

Semien doubled and scored the Rangers' first run in the second inning and singled home a run in the fifth. He continued a remarkable turnaround at the plate; Semien sports a .352/.410/.602 line with four home runs, eight doubles, one triple, 15 RBI and 18 runs scored over the last 24 games. He spent 59 games with an average below .200 and is now up to .229, its highest point since Opening Day, when he went 2-for-4.

Mize (leg) is listed as the Tigers' starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Mize was removed from his most recent start Sunday against the Rays due to cramping in his right leg, but he has recovered fine and is ready to roll for his next turn in the rotation. The right-hander has yielded two earned runs or fewer in each of his last four starts, although he's reached the six-inning mark on just one occasion during that stretch.

Heim went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Orioles.

Heim put the finishing touches on the Rangers' win, launching a solo shot off Scott Blewett in the sixth inning to extend the lead to 7-0. It's Heim's first homer since June 4 -- he'd gone just 3-for-23 (.130) in seven games prior to Wednesday. Overall, the switch-hitting backstop is slashing .230/.266/.380 with eight homers, 22 RBI, 18 runs scored and three steals across 214 plate appearances this season.

Olson (finger) struck out five and allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk across four innings Wednesday in his rehab start for Triple-A Toledo.

Olson spotted 49 of his 74 pitches for strikes and sported a fastball that sat between 92 and 94 miles per hour on the day, about a tick behind his average velocity prior to landing on the injured list May 19 due to right ring finger inflammation. Though the 25-year-old didn't reach five innings in any of his three rehab outings with Toledo, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that all reports on Olson were positive coming out of his start Wednesday, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Olson is likely to return to Detroit this weekend to complete a bullpen session, and if he continues to check out fine, he could be activated from the IL to make his next start with the big club Tuesday or Wednesday in Washington.

Young (0-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Rangers, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out two.

Young managed to hold Texas to one run through his first three innings before giving up a two-run homer to Josh Jung with two outs in the fourth. The 26-year-old Young has struggled to a 7.11 ERA with a 1.97 WHIP through his first three starts (12.2 innings) with Baltimore. He figures to return to Triple-A Norfolk following Wednesday's spot start.
