Dillon Dingler Injury News & Updates

Gets spot on 40-man
The Tigers selected Dingler to their 40-man roster Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Dingler delivered an .839 OPS with 16 home runs and 58 RBI over 89 total major-league games in 2023. The 25-year-old catcher finished out the season with Triple-A Toledo and could make his major-league debut at some point during the 2024 campaign.
Aug 15, 2023
Promoted to Triple-A
The Tigers promoted Dingler to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Dingler has been very solid at the plate this season with Double-A Erie, slashing .254/.372/.464 with nine homers and 42 RBI across 218 plate appearances. The 24-year-old backstop will now make his way to Triple-A for the first time in his career and could see the majors next season if his bat holds up against tougher competition.

Mashing since returning from injury
Dingler is hitting .423 with three home runs and one steal in seven games since returning from a knee injury for Double-A Erie.
ANALYSIS
He also hit .448 with four home runs and two steals in eight games during a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland. Dingler turns 25 in September, so he is old for Double-A and especially old for Single-A, but there's no denying this is the best stretch of his professional career. The 38th overall pick in 2020, Dingler has a 47.6 percent hard-hit rate and should soon earn a promotion to Triple-A.

Resumes baseball activitiy
Dingler (knee) resumed light baseball activity this week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Dingler underwent surgery on his torn meniscus in mid-March. He's making progress but is still a while away from game action.
Mar 16, 2023
Undergoes surgery on right knee
Dingler will be out at least four weeks after undergoing surgery Tuesday on his right knee, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It was a meniscectomy procedure, the removal of a torn meniscus, and this almost certainly stems from the knee soreness that knocked Dingler out of the 2022 Arizona Fall League. He probably won't be ready for minor-league action before mid-May.
Feb 27, 2023
Available for spring training
Dingler (knee) is listed as an available reserve for Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Dingler's stint in the Arizona Fall League was cut short due to a sore knee, but he appears to have received a clean bill of health upon reporting to Florida for spring training. The 24-year-old catcher made his spring debut off the bench in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Phillies in the Grapefruit League opener, going 0-for-2 with a strikeout as a backup designated hitter. Dingler looks like he could get the chance to pick up a couple of at-bats again Monday.

Recovering from knee injury
Dingler will miss the remainder of the Arizona Fall League after tests on his sore knee returned negative Sunday, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.
ANALYSIS
Dingler won't require surgery to address the injury and should be a full participant at the start of spring training, but the catching prospect will miss the remainder of the fall slate. The 24-year-old reported to Arizona for more work after slashing .238/.333/.419 with 39 extra-base hits across 447 plate appearances for Double-A Erie.
Mar 18, 2022
Moves to minor-league camp
Dingler was reassigned to minor-league camp Friday, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dingler was never likely to last long in big-league camp, as he's yet to reach Triple-A and struggled to a .578 OPS in 50 Double-A games last season. He may need to conquer that level before earning a move to Triple-A Toledo.
Mar 12, 2022
Invited to major-league camp
Dingler was invited to join the Tigers' big-league spring training Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Dingler will join most of the team's top prospects in major-league camp, though he's not knocking on the doorstep in the way that Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene are. He's yet to play above Double-A and struggled significantly at that level last season, hitting .202/.264/.314 with a 29.8 percent strikeout rate in 50 games.
Sep 2, 2021
Returns from injured list
Dingler (finger) was reinstated from the 7-day minor-league injured list Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dingler spent nearly a month on the injured list due to a fractured finger on his left hand, but he joined Low-A Lakeland for a rehab assignment recently. Across his three rehab games, the 22-year-old went 4-for-12 with a double, two RBI and a run. He'll attempt to build on his results with the Double-A club to close out the season after he slashed .201/.268/.328 with three homers, 17 runs, 17 RBI and a stolen base in his first 36 games at Double-A Erie.
Aug 31, 2021
Rehabbing at Low-A
Dingler (finger) began a rehab assignment at Low-A Lakeland over the weekend and has gone 1-for-9 with an RBI over his first two games with the affiliate.
ANALYSIS
Double-A Erie placed Dingler on the 7-day injured list Aug. 6 with a fractured finger tip on his left hand, but the 22-year-old doesn't look like he'll be in store for an extended absence. Assuming the finger causes him no issues in his subsequent rehab games, Dingler could be ready to rejoin Erie by the end of the week.
Aug 8, 2021
Out at least two weeks
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Dingler would be sidelined at Double-A Erie for at least two weeks after fracturing the tip of a finger on his left hand Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Hinch indicated that Dingler's injury isn't a major concern and likely won't sideline the backstop for the rest of the season, but a more precise timeline for the 22-year-old won't be available until he gets his finger rescanned in late August. Since receiving a promotion to Erie in mid-June, Dingler is slashing .201/.268/.328 with a 27.5 percent strikeout rate across 149 plate appearances.

Lands on injured list
Dingler was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list Friday due to a fractured finger on his left hand, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Dingler went 1-for-5 with two runs and a strikeout in Wednesday's game at Double-A Erie, but he apparently sustained a finger injury. It's not yet clear when the 22-year-old will be able to return.
Jun 13, 2021
Gets promotion to Double-A
Dingler was promoted to Double-A Erie on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Detroit selected Dingler with the 38th overall pick in last year's draft and it did not take the backstop long to progress past High-A ball. In 31 games with High-A West Michigan, Dingler posted an impressive .297/.387/.568 slash line with eight homers and 24 RBI across 137 plate appearances. The only minor concern for Dingler at this point is that he struck out over a quarter of the time during first stop in the minors, but the Tigers clearly think he's ready to handle Double-A pitching nonetheless.
Feb 6, 2021
Joining big-league camp
Dingler was invited to the Tigers' big-league camp on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
While Dingler will get the chance to practice with the team's major-league coaches, he's unlikely to receive serious consideration for a roster spot. The 2020 38th-overall pick was denied his chance to make his professional debut last year due to the canceled minor-league season, so he has plenty of work to do to climb the ladder.
