Dingler went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Monday's 8-4 loss to the Guardians.
Making his MLB debut, Dingler batted sixth and looked fairly comfortable in the position. The 25-year-old certainly earned the promotion, as he was slashing .308/.379/.559 for Triple-A Toledo so far this season, and Sunday's trade of Carson Kelly opened up a roster spot. The rookie will likely split time with Jake Rogers behind the plate just like Kelly did, though Dingler could quickly seize a larger share of playing time if he plays well. His short-term fantasy value is pointing upward.
