Dingler Dodges Injury, Stays in Play | Detroit Tigers News

Dillon Dingler narrowly avoided a serious injury after a brutal foul ball to the hand, but the Detroit Tigers are breathing easier — he’s day-to-day with a contusion, cleared of fractures, and not headed to the IL. The team’s MVP behind the plate, who’s crushing homers, driving in runs, and just earned his first All-Star nod, stayed in the game through the inning before exiting. Manager A.J. Hinch remains optimistic, with follow-up tests scheduled, and while Dingler’s All-Star status is still up in the air, the Tigers are relieved to keep their most productive right-handed hitter in the lineup.
