Dingler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. After making starts behind the plate in the first two games of the series, Dingler will receive a breather for Sunday's finale. Jake Rogers will fill in behind plate for Dingler, who has raised his OPS to .825 for the season after going 6-for-17 with three extra-base hits and a walk over his last five games.

Hits key home run in win
Dingler went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers. Dingler teed off with two out and two on in the first inning to stake Detroit to a 3-0 lead, giving the team all the offense it would need in the win. The catcher has cooled off some after a hot start, as he's batting just .184 over his last 10 games compared to .302 through the first 19 games of the year. Dingler's overall stat line still looks good with an .825 OPS, six home runs and 23 RBI across 29 contests.
Sitting out Thursday
Dingler is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Atlanta. Dingler started at catcher in the first two games of the series, so he'll get a breather for Thursday's matinee. Jake Rogers is behind the dish and batting ninth as the Tigers try to avoid the sweep.
