Dingler’s Slump and the Tigers’ Wild Card Race | Detroit Tigers News

Dillon Dingler’s offensive slump is raising alarms for the Tigers, as he’s gone 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in a recent game and just two hits in his last 28 at-bats — all while still leading the team with 26 homers and 82 RBIs. Despite being hampered by injuries elsewhere, manager A.J. Hinch keeps him in key spots, but his recent struggles — including failing to drive in a run in five plate appearances — are hurting a team fighting for a playoff spot. With the Tigers six and one in their last seven games, the question looms: Is it time to give Dingler a break to reset, or is this just a temporary dip that needs mechanical or strategic fixes?
