Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Productive in win
Dingler went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Astros.
Dingler isn't known for his speed, as the triple was just his second of the season, and he's never swiped a base at the MLB level. The catcher has still been plenty productive for the Tigers with a .274/.321/.432 slash line across 98 games this year. It's a big step forward for Dingler, who posted a .167/.195/.310 line in 27 regular-season games as a rookie in 2024.

Dingler went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Friday's 7-0 win over the Twins.
Dingler chipped in as part of a 10-hit Detroit attack that led to the easy win. The catcher has slowed down a bit in August with a .205 batting average and .680 OPS, though he has at least mustered two home runs and seven RBI in 13 games. Overall, Dingler is batting .272 with a .746 OPS, and he remains the team's clear top backstop ahead of Jake Rogers.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Hits 10th home run Monday
Dingler went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-3 win over the Twins.
Dingler was one of three Detroit players to go deep as the Tigers rallied from an early 2-0 hole to secure the win. The 26-year-old catcher is having a productive sophomore campaign, as he's now up to 10 home runs to go along with a .749 OPS across 85 games. Last year, Dingler posted just a .505 OPS in 27 regular-season games as he served primarily in a backup role, but he's emerged as Detroit's clear top backstop in 2025 due to his improved offensive output.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Goes deep in three-hit game
Dingler went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
Dingler has been in a nice groove lately, as he now has hits in four straight games, with three of them going down as multi-hit performances. Overall, the Detroit catcher is slashing .279/.320/.435 with nine home runs, 29 runs scored and 40 RBI across 80 games. He's been more effective against lefties, sporting an .889 OPS in those matchups, and his long ball Monday came against Arizona southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez. However, Dingler still has a solid .710 OPS against righties, giving him broad fantasy appeal in his starting role.

The Detroit catcher slashed just .167/.195/.310 in 27 regular-season games last year, but he's been much improved in 2025, compiling a .272/.314/.419 slash line through 79 contests. Dingler's strong play has allowed him to seize the starting role behind the plate, with Jake Rogers serving as the clear backup for the Tigers.
