Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Triples, drives in two Saturday
Dingler went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple and two RBI in Saturday's 6-4, 10-inning win over the Orioles.
Dingler snapped an 0-for-9 slump that spanned his last three appearances and recorded the second triple of his rookie season. The 25-year-old catcher has mostly struggled in his debut campaign, slashing .143/.175/.286 across 24 games, but he still should figure into Detroit's future plans behind the plate.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Back in lineup
Dingler (illness) is catching and batting ninth Friday against the Orioles.
The 25-year-old rookie was held out of the lineup for back-to-back games due to illness, but he's feeling well enough to spell Jake Rogers behind the dish Friday. Dingler is slashing .141/.167/.281 in 20 games with the Tigers.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Ends slump Saturday
Dingler went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Athletics.
Dingler came into the contest having gone 0-for-19 over his previous six games. The young catcher snapped that streak, though he's still batting just .141 for the season with a 33 percent strikeout rate. Until Dingler can become more consistent at the plate, his fantasy ceiling will remain capped.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Triples, drives in run Tuesday
Dingler went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs.
Dingler recorded his first career MLB triple and drove in his team's only run. The rookie catcher got off to a rough start, going 3-for-20 across his first six games in the majors, but he now has two multi-hit efforts over his last four appearances. That stretch has also included Dingler's first home run and now his first triple. He should continue to split time behind the plate with Jake Rogers in the short term, though the 61-65 Tigers may give Dingler more run if they fully fall out of contention.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Back in lineup Saturday
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.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Sitting out Wednesday
Dingler is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mariners, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Jake Rogers will make a second straight start at catcher after Dingler had started both of the two games prior to that. The two have split the catching duties evenly, with both getting seven starts apiece since Dingler was promoted from Triple-A Toledo on July 29.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Out of lineup
Dingler is absent from the starting nine for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Hits first MLB home run
Dingler went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants
Dingler collected his first home run and first multi-hit game at the MLB level. Through seven appearances, the rookie catcher is now batting .208 with a .727 OPS. Dingler is splitting time behind the plate with Jake Rogers, though the latter is mired in a 1-for-23 slump. As a result, Dingler could take on a larger share of the work at least in the short term, which would give his fantasy value a slight boost.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Drawing second straight start
Dingler will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Giants.
Dingler will pick up a second straight start and could see the larger portion of the work behind the plate while fellow backstop Jake Rogers has fallen into a skid at the plate over his last seven contests (1-for-23, 11 strikeouts). Though he hasn't been especially productive in his own right since getting called up on July 29 (.150 average, .477 OPS through 22 plate appearances), Dingler turned in a .938 OPS over a larger sample of 71 games at Triple-A Toledo and would seem to bring more upside to the table.

Dingler is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Royals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Heading to bench Tuesday
Dingler is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
After getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Dingler made his MLB debut in the Tigers' 8-4 loss later in the evening, going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and an RBI. He'll get a breather for the day game after a night game, affording Jake Rogers a turn behind the dish. The Tigers could deploy the two catchers in relatively even fashion in the short term, but Dingler looks to be the more intriguing fantasy option of the two. The 25-year-old popped 17 home runs, stole five bases and batted .308 while walking at a 10.2 percent clip over 71 games at Toledo prior to his promotion.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Reaches twice in MLB debut
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.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Officially summoned to majors
The Tigers recalled Dingler from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
Dingler will receive his first big-league promotion after batting .308 with 17 home runs, 52 RBI, 44 runs scored and five stolen bases over 301 plate appearances with Toledo this season. The 25-year-old could have a leg up over Jake Rogers for playing time at catcher down the stretch.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: In line for first call-up
The Tigers are expected to call up Dingler from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Dingler will join the Tigers in Detroit ahead of a two-game set against the Guardians for what will be his first stint in the big leagues. The 25-year-old produced an impressive .308 average with 17 home runs, 52 RBI, 44 runs scored and five stolen bases over 301 plate appearances with Toledo this season. With the Tigers trading away Carson Kelly on Sunday, Dingler will compete with Jake Rogers for No. 1 catching duties with the big-league club.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Optioned to Triple-A
The Tigers optioned Dingler to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
There's currently no room for Dingler on the big-league roster, but he could get a look at some point in 2024 if injury should strike at the catcher position. For now, the second-round pick will catch regularly at Toledo.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Ready for game action
Dingler (elbow) will come off the bench and work behind the plate in Friday's spring game against the Phillies, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The 25-year-old underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his right elbow during the offseason, and he's now game ready after being limited with his throwing at the start of camp. Dingler was added to Detroit's 40-man roster in November in order to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft, and he could make his MLB debut at some point in 2024.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Set to throw to bases this week
Dingler (elbow) is scheduled to throw to bases this week as part of his rehab program for the arthroscopic right elbow procedure he underwent in the offseason, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
The Tigers are easing the young catcher along in his throwing program as he ramps back up from the elbow procedure, but he's otherwise able to perform all baseball activities. With that in mind, Dingler could be able to make his spring debut early in the Tigers' Grapefruit League schedule as a designated hitter, though it's unclear when he'll be ready to catch in games.
