Dillon Dingler Being Eased into Camp After Having Elbow Scope
Detroit Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler (elbow) will be eased into spring training after undergoing a scope on his throwing elbow, according to Chris McCosky of the Detroit News. Dingler had a similar arthroscopic surgery on his right arm two years ago, and he doesn't expect to miss much of camp. The 27-year-old is expected to be the Tigers' primary catcher in 2026 after winning a Gold Glove behind the plate in 2025. If he has a setback once he returns to baseball activities, Jake Rogers would be in line to take over starting duties to begin the season. Dingler hit .278/.327/.425 with a .752 OPS, 13 home runs, 57 RBI, and 54 runs scored in 126 regular-season games in his first full season in the big leagues last year. He cut his strikeout rate drastically from his rookie season, but a .345 BABIP buoyed his batting average. Dingler will be in play as a No. 2 catcher in two-catcher fantasy leagues.
