Dillon Dingler Homers, Collects Three RBI On Friday

DetroitTigers catcher Dillon Dingler went 2-for-5 with a triple and a solo home run, collecting three RBI and scoring once in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Dodgers. The home run was a 410-foot blast that came in a two-strike count off of starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto that put the Tigers up 1-0 at that point in the game. The 6-foot-1 backstop hit at least 12 home runs or more in four consecutive seasons in the minors, but managed just one last year for the Tigers in 84 at-bats, so it's good to see him get the first one of 2025 out of the way early. The 26-year-old will split catching duties with veteran Jake Rogers, and whoever draws the start Saturday will have a tough task ahead of them with pitching phenom Roki Sasaki set to take the hill for Los Angeles.

Dillon Dingler, Justyn-Henry Malloy Sitting For Tigers

Detroit Tigers rookie catcher Dillon Dingler and outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy are both out of the starting lineup again on Wednesday against the visiting Seattle Mariners at Comerica Park. It's hard for the Tigers to leave Jake Rogers out of the lineup after he hit a grand slam and drove in seven runs in the lopsided victory over Seattle on Tuesday. Dingler and Rogers have been splitting the catching duties evenly since the Tigers promoted Dingler from the minors, with the young backstop going 5-for-24 (.208) with a homer, three doubles and four RBI. Henry-Malloy's playing time figures to suffer with Kerry Carpenter back from the injured list. Carpenter hit two home runs in his return from a back injury on Tuesday and is serving as the designated hitter again while batting second versus Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo.

Dillon Dingler Not Seeing Stable Playing Time

Detroit Tigers catching prospect Dillon Dingler has been unable to find stable playing time since joining the major league roster on July 28. In this span, the backstop has only started two games and gone 2-for-9 at the plate with one extra-base hit and a 2:3 BB:K ratio. 29-year-old Jake Rogers has continued to see the majority of starts. However, he holds a .197 AVG with just seven home runs across 68 games. At Triple-A this summer, Dingler posted a stellar .308/.379/.559 slash line with 17 home runs and 52 RBI. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Dingler's playing time as he could eventually take over starting duties in the Motor City, especially given Rogers' struggles.
