Dingler’s Thumb Threatens Tigers’ Playoff Push | MLB News
Description
Tigers All-Star catcher Dillon Dingler was forced out of Wednesday’s game after a 95-mph fastball struck his thumb on a foul tip — swelling quickly sidelined him before the fifth inning. Jake Rogers stepped in, delivered a two-run homer, and took over behind the plate. Dingler’s absence is a major blow: he’s been instrumental in the Tigers’ hot streak (6-1 in their last 7 games) and is tied for 7th in MLB fWAR, among the league’s elite with 19 homers and 60 RBIs before the break. His injury threatens their playoff push — and fans are watching closely to see if he’ll miss time.
