EDGE Analysis

It was the second three-hit attack of the campaign by Dingler, who also matched a season high with three RBI on Thursday. Over his last 17 outings, the catcher is hitting .284 (19-for-67) with three homers, four doubles, nine RBI and five runs scored as Detroit's primary backstop. Dingler has zero walks through 87 plate appearances, so his plate discipline remains a work in progress.

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 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.
