Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Launches home run Wednesday
Dingler went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Padres.
Dingler has been a pleasant surprise for the Tigers in the absence of Jake Rogers (oblique), as the former is batting .277 with a .780 OPS and three long balls across 18 games. Last regular season, Dingler batted just .167 with a .505 OPS and one home run in 27 appearances.

Red Sox's Connor Wong: Nearing rehab assignment
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Wong (finger) will likely begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Working his way back from a fractured left pinky finger suffered in early April, Wong is able to catch without issue but still has some progress to make while swinging the bat. If the catcher is indeed able to begin playing in rehab games this weekend, he could return from the 10-day injured list at some point next week.

Tigers' Brian Serven: Healthy again at Triple-A
Serven (oblique) has gone 6-for-19 with a double, a stolen base, six RBI and two runs in four games since being activated from Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list April 15
Serven suffered a left oblique strain in early March that ended any hopes he had of making the Tigers' Opening Day roster as a backup catcher and also resulted in him beginning the season on the shelf at Triple-A. He was cleared to debut for Toledo after beginning a rehab assignment at Single-A Lakeland on April 4 and appearing in seven games.

Korey Lee C | CHW
White Sox's Korey Lee: Swelling going down
Manager Will Venable said Tuesday that the swelling in Lee's ankle is nearly entirely gone, MLB.com reports.
Lee has been on the injured list since April 10 due to a left ankle sprain. It's unclear what the next steps in his recovery will be, or how quickly he can return. Lee was already stuck in a backup role prior to Edgar Quero's promotion, so his spot on the big-league roster could be in jeopardy once healthy.

Quero started for the fourth time in six games since his promotion to the majors and has most recently hit fourth and fifth in the lineup. He has earned that key role quickly, collecting seven hits across his first 19 at-bats. Quero also scored the first run of his career Tuesday.
