Dingler is starting at catcher and batting fifth in Saturday's game against the Yankees.
Jake Rogers handled catching duties for the Tigers on Friday, going 0-for-3 to lower his season batting average to .195. Dingler is only hitting .185 himself through his first eight games at the MLB level, but Detroit probably wants to get the rookie more experience to finish out the year. Expect Dingler and Rogers to continue splitting time behind the plate fairly evenly moving forward.
