Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Remains productive in loss
Dingler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Mets.
Dingler extended his hitting streak to four games, and he's batting .313 with two home runs during the stretch. Overall, the Detroit catcher is now up to eight long balls for the season, which puts him on pace to fly past last year's career-high total of 13 homers in 126 regular-season games. Dingler can be a bit streaky at the plate, but he's locked into a starting role and is producing in the power department for fantasy managers.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Two more hits Wednesday
Dingler went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Mets.
A day after slugging his seventh home run of the season, Dingler tallied two more hits to extend his hitting streak to three games. It's a small step in the right direction for the catcher, who was batting .302 after a four-hit effort back on April 19. Since then, Dingler is hitting just .186 across 18 games, but he's in no real danger of losing his starting gig to Jake Rogers and his .478 OPS.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Slugs seventh homer Tuesday
Dingler went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 10-2 loss to the Mets.
Dingler opened the scoring in the second inning by taking Freddy Peralta deep for his seventh homer of the season. The catcher had dropped off significantly after a strong start to the year, entering Tuesday batting just .161 with a 4:14 BB:K over his previous 16 games. Even with the recent struggles, Dingler still owns a decent .234/.305/.461 slash line with eight doubles, 27 RBI and 14 runs scored across 141 plate appearances.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Heading to bench Sunday
Dingler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.
After making starts behind the plate in the first two games of the series, Dingler will receive a breather for Sunday's finale.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Hits key home run in win
Dingler went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
Dingler teed off with two out and two on in the first inning to stake Detroit to a 3-0 lead, giving the team all the offense it would need in the win. The catcher has cooled off some after a hot start, as he's batting just .184 over his last 10 games compared to .302 through the first 19 games of the year. Dingler's overall stat line still looks good with an .825 OPS, six home runs and 23 RBI across 29 contests.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Sitting out Thursday
Dingler is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Atlanta.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Two hits in loss to Atlanta
Dingler went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.
The two-hit night snapped a 1-for-21 skid at the plate for Dingler, as he rapped his fifth double of the season in the eighth inning. The 27-year-old is slashing .253/.337/.483 with five home runs, 19 RBI, 11 runs scored and a 7:16 BB:K across 100 plate appearances. His peripheral numbers suggest he should be experiencing even more success at the plate, as Dingler is in the 92nd percentile or better in xwOBA, xBA, xSLG, barrel rate and hard-hit percentage. He's also been one of the best defensive catchers this season.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Receiving evening off
Dingler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Despite going hitless in nine at-bats over his last two starts, Dingler still ranks fourth among all qualified catchers this season with an .873 OPS. He'll get a chance to catch his breath Wednesday, paving the way for Jake Rogers to receive a turn behind the plate.

Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Hit hard again in third loss
Crochet (2-3) took the loss Sunday against the Tigers, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out eight.
Following a career-worst start in Minnesota that saw him surrender 11 runs, Crochet couldn't find his ace form Sunday. He did settle in for three scoreless frames after Dillon Dingler took him deep in the opening inning, but Crochet then gave up four more runs with two outs in the fifth. The star left-hander now holds a disappointing 7.88 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 30:9 K:BB over 24 innings, so he'll look to figure things out in his next scheduled start versus Baltimore.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Homers in four-hit game
Dingler went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox.
Dingler was dialed in Sunday, as he raised his batting average above .300 with his first four-hit effort of the season. The Detroit catcher also launched his fifth home run of the year and is now up to 18 RBI through 19 games. Dingler is emerging as a top-flight fantasy catcher, and he has a firm grip on the starting role for the Tigers, with Jake Rogers around as the clear backup.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Blasts off in win
Dingler went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run in Thursday's 10-9 win over the Royals.
Dingler connected on his fourth home run of the season in the fifth inning as he continued his strong start to the year. The Detroit catcher is slashing .283/.367/.566 with 14 RBI through 16 games. Dingler's .933 OPS would easily be a new career best and is nearly 200 points higher than the .752 OPS he posted in the regular season last year. The 27-year-old is building on his strong 2025 campaign and has established himself as a reliable fantasy option behind the plate.

Dingler went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Twins.
Dingler snapped an 0-for-9 slump across the previous three games with his first three-hit effort of the young season. The Detroit catcher is now batting .273 overall, which is in line with the .278 average he posted during the regular season last year. Dingler has no real threat to his playing time behind the plate, and he should remain a stable fantasy asset.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Hits second home run
Dingler went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 4-0 win over the Cardinals.
Dingler mashed his second home run of the year in the fourth inning with a runner on, and that gave starter Framber Valdez more than enough run support. The Detroit catcher has put a slow, injury-delayed start to spring training behind him, as he's hit the ground running with a .300/.364/.650 slash line and seven RBI through six games to begin the regular season.
