Dillon Dingler went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk against the Mariners on Wednesday.

He’s the first Tigers catcher to hit 25 homers since Mickey Tettleton did it three straight years from 1991-93. Dingler’s homer came after Gleyber Torres was intentionally plunked by Gabe Speier and gave the Tigers their only runs in a 4-2 loss. Dingler has three homers in his last five games and is batting .333/.407/.625 with six homers in the 18 games since the All-Star break.

Dillon Dingler went 2-for-6 and belted a grand slam on Friday night as the Tigers routed the Athletics 13-1 in the opener of their three-game series in West Sacramento.

Dingler broke the game open in the eighth inning, capping off a seven-run rally with a 411-foot (100.2-mph EV) grand slam off of Luis Morales. He also singled in the third inning. With his two-hit attack, the All-Star backstop is now slashing .269/.333/.520 with 23 homers and 72 RBI.

Dillon Dingler hit a two-run homer, doubled and walked Tuesday against the Cubs.

Dingler’s homer off Aaron Civale in the ninth gave the Tigers’ their only runs in the 11-2 loss, but it wasn’t far off from being a two-homer game; his 362-foot shot to left in the second would have been a homer in 23 ballparks and likely would have gone out in Wrigley if the wind hadn’t been blowing in. Dingler has 22 homers and 65 RBI in 92 games on the season.

DET Catcher #13

Dillon Dingler went 4-for-5 with three runs scored, two home runs and three RBI against the Cubs on Monday.

Dingler now has 21 home runs this season. He hit a solo shot off Jameson Taillon in the first inning and another solo shot off Tyler Ferguson in the eighth inning. Dingler had been 2-for-10 with no walks and three strikeouts in three games since the All-Star break entering Monday. He’s hitting .268 with an .856 OPS and 63 RBI.

Dillon Dingler (hand) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Phillies.

Dingler is back at DH following a two-game absence due to right hand soreness. It’s an extremely encouraging development for the Tigers that he managed to avoid serious injury. All signs point to him being ready to play in next week’s All-Star Game in Philadelphia.

Dillon Dingler (hand) remains out of the Tigers’ lineup for the second day in a row.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the Tigers took it easy on Dingler heading into the All-Star break, so we wouldn’t be stunned if he misses this weekend series. Jake Rogers is taking over at catcher and batting ninth against the Phillies tonight.

DET Catcher #13

Dillon Dingler (hand) is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Thursday’s series finale against the Athletics.

The good news is that the All-Star backstop is not dealing with any fractures after being struck on the hand by a foul tip during Wednesday’s game. The Tigers did add an extra catcher to the roster on Thursday to help add depth behind the plate, but Dingler wasn’t placed on the injured list which is very encouraging. He’s considered day-to-day.

DET Catcher #13

Dillon Dingler (hand) underwent X-rays that came back negative for any fractures.

Dingler will undergo additional imaging out of an abundance of caution to rule out any structural issues, but it seems like he managed to avoid a worst-case scenario after taking a foul tip off his right hand during Wednesday’s contest against the Athletics. The 27-year-old All-Star backstop is day-to-day for now. There should be additional updates on his status leading into Thursday’s series finale.

DET Catcher #13

Dillon Dingler made an early exit from Wednesday’s game against the Athletics with an apparent right hand injury.

Dingler is likely headed for X-rays to rule out any potential fractures after taking a foul tip off his right hand behind the plate during the early stages of Wednesday’s game at Comerica Park. He finished 1-for-1 with a run scored prior to leaving the contest in the second inning. Clearly, the Tigers weren’t going to take any chances by letting him continue. There should be a definitive update on his status following the contest. The 27-year-old was named to the American League’s roster for next week’s Midsummer Classic, his first All-Star Game selection.

DET Catcher #13

Dillon Dingler went 1-for-4 with two runs scored, a double and an RBI against the Yankees on Monday.

Dingler’s hot month of June continued Monday. He doubled and scored in the first inning, had a sacrifice fly in the second inning and scored another run in the fourth inning. Dingler is 33-for-100 (.330) with eight home runs, 25 RBI and 21 runs scored in 25 games in June. He’s hitting .262 with an .854 OPS and 59 RBI on the season.

Cal Raleigh is not in Seattle’s starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Tigers.

Raleigh has been remarkably consistent this year, keeping his batting average between .160 and .170 since the start of May. Fantasy managers may welcome this off day, and definitely shouldn’t feel married to starting Raleigh down the stretch even if he is still giving the occasional dinger.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Trey Yesavage (knee) is dealing with a meniscus injury and will visit a specialist.

Surgery “is always a possibility,” when a player sees a specialist, said Schneider per Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi. This is not a promising update for Yesavage’s chances of returning to the rotation any time soon. Given Toronto’s position in the standings, it would be surprising if they tried to push him to fight through this towards the end of the season if they had any doubt about it.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not in the lineup for the Blue Jays against the Cubs on Thursday.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said a few days ago that Guerrero is “tight, tired” and that “it’s nothing major.” But this is his second day off in a row and it seems likely that Guerrero, who has underperformed this year, is laboring through something undisclosed. Fantasy managers should have alternate plans available over the weekend just in case.
