Dillon Dingler Pulled With Thumb Injury
Detroit Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler (thumb) left Wednesday's game against the Athletics early. Dingler took a foul tip off his right thumb during the first inning of this contest. The Tigers decided to play it safe and pull Dingler out of the game for precautionary reasons. The expectation is that Dingler is headed for X-rays so that the team can rule out any significant injuries. The 27-year-old was named to the American League All-Star team recently, so hopefully he'll be ready to go for that. Jake Rogers took over behind the plate and figures to see a bulk of the time behind the plate while Dingler is down. UPDATE: X-rays on Dingler's right hand came back negative, per The Detroit News' Chris McCosky.
