    Dingler was a driving force in the win, launching solo homers in the first and eighth innings before delivering an RBI single in the 10th frame to give the Tigers a 6-5 lead. It has been a breakout 2026 campaign for the 27-year-old, though Monday's long balls were his first since June 25. Overall, the catcher is slashing .268/.332/.524 with 21 homers, 63 RBI and 52 runs scored across 91 contests.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Back in lineup

    Dingler (thumb) will serve as the designated hitter and bat third during Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    Manager A.J. Hinch said Friday that Dingler's availability for the rest of the series was uncertain due to his injured right thumb, but he's been cleared to work as the DH and could return behind the plate in Sunday's first-half finale, per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic. Dingler had gone 9-for-32 (.281) with two RBI and six runs scored in his last eight games before getting injured.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Weekend availability uncertain

    Manager A.J. Hinch said Friday that Eduardo Valencia will start at catcher Saturday against the Phillies, and it's uncertain if Dingler (thumb) will play in Sunday's series finale, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Dingler is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener against Philadelphia, as Jake Rogers is doing the catching and batting ninth. Valencia will catch Saturday, suggesting Dingler has already been ruled out for that game. Hinch said Dingler is progressing with his bruised thumb, but he remains day-to-day. It's possible Dingler will remain sidelined through the All-Star break.

X-rays came back clean, and Dingler said Thursday that he's feeling "10 times better" a day after the injury, per Logan Reever of Detroit SportsNet. Dingler will avoid the 10-day injured list and is considered day-to-day as he waits for the swelling in his thumb to subside. Jake Rogers is catching for the Tigers on Thursday, and Eduardo Valencia has been called up for depth behind the plate.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Leaves Wednesday's game

    Dingler was removed from Wednesday's game against the Athletics due to an apparent right thumb injury, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Dingler took a foul tip off his right thumb in the first inning. He's gone back to the clubhouse to undergo more tests on his injury, and the Tigers should have an update on Dingler during or shortly after Wednesday's game. Jake Rogers will take over at catcher for the rest of the contest in Dingler's absence.

The Tigers will run a few more tests on him Thursday just to be sure, but it seems as though he escaped the incident without a serious injury.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Homers again in loss

    Dingler went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run and two strikeouts in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.

    Dingler entered the ninth inning having not put the ball in play but quickly changed that, lacing the first pitch from Enyel De Los Santos over the center-field wall for his 19th home run of the season. The Detroit catcher now has three long balls across his last six games and eight homers in 21 contests this month.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Lifts off again Sunday

    Dingler went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two total RBI in Sunday's 5-4, 10-inning win over the White Sox.

    Dingler went deep for the second straight day, and he's now up to 18 long balls on the season. That's the most on the team and third in the majors among catchers, behind only Shea Langeliers with 19 home runs and Hunter Goodman with 21. Dingler has been a dynamic offensive force as the undisputed top backstop for Detroit, with Jake Rogers in a clear reserve role that carries limited fantasy value.

The strong start to the season has established Dingler as one of the top catchers for fantasy leagues.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Keeps rolling Monday

    Dingler went 2-for-4 with a triple and three runs scored in Monday's 9-3 win over the Astros.

The Detroit catcher is having an outstanding season with 16 long balls, 36 runs scored, 50 RBI and an .868 OPS across 65 contests. At this rate, Dingler seems headed for an All-Star Game appearance next month, and he's been a tremendous fantasy asset so far.

The catcher has been providing plenty of extra-base hits lately with a triple, four doubles, six home runs and a 1.112 OPS across his last 15 games. Dingler could be ticketed for his first All-Star appearance next month, as he's been one of the best offensive backstops in the majors this year.
