Dillon Dingler Returns for All-Star Push | Detroit Tigers News

Dillon Dingler’s hand may have taken a direct fastball hit, but he’s back and ready to play — cleared to DH against the Phillies Saturday, with hopes of catching as early as Sunday.

This return comes just before his first All-Star Game, where he’s been a standout with 19 homers, 60 RBIs, and elite defense — one of four Tigers headed to the festivities.
