Dingler went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Dingler has been a pleasant surprise for the Tigers in the absence of Jake Rogers (oblique), as the former is batting .277 with a .780 OPS and three long balls across 18 games. Last regular season, Dingler batted just .167 with a .505 OPS and one home run in 27 appearances.

Dingler is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Dingler started both Saturday and Sunday behind the plate after getting a rest Friday, and he'll retreat to the bench in favor of Tomas Nido on Monday. The 26-year-old is Detroit's top catching option at the moment with Jake Rogers (oblique) on the injured list, while Nido provides veteran depth. Dingler figures to return to the lineup Tuesday.

Dingler is starting at catcher and batting fifth in Saturday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Dingler got a breather Friday with Tomas Nido picking up the start, but the former will return to the lineup Saturday. Dingler is Detroit's top catching option at the moment with Jake Rogers (oblique) on the injured list, and he's done well with the expanded opportunity, posting a .306 average and .830 OPS across 14 games.

Dingler went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Dingler has four multi-hit efforts over nine games this season, including two in his last three contests. The catcher has taken over the No. 1 job behind the dish while Jake Rogers (oblique) is out. Dingler is batting a toasty .387 with two home runs, eight RBI, five runs scored, a triple and a double over 32 plate appearances. The one concern early on is his 10 strikeouts, which shows he hasn't made much improvement from the 34.5 percent strikeout rate he had over 27 games in the majors last year.

Dingler went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
With Jake Rogers suffering an oblique strain while warming up prior to the game and landing on the injured list, Dingler stepped into the lineup and should see the bulk of the playing time behind the dish for the foreseeable future. He made the most of his appointment into the starting nine Tuesday, capping a three-run fourth inning with a solo blast off Carlos Carrasco. Despite having been on the shorter end of a timeshare with Rogers through the first 11 games of the season, Dingler ranks second on the team with seven RBI.

Dingler is starting at catcher and batting seventh in Monday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Four games into the season, Dingler and Jake Rogers have alternated starts behind the plate each day, with Dingler getting the call Monday and Rogers headed to the bench. One of the two could emerge at some point to seize a larger role, but for now, it appears that they're locked into a fairly even split that puts a lid on the fantasy values of both players.
