Dillon Dingler goes yard on Opening Day

by Brenton Kemp | Tigers Correspondent | Fri, Mar 27th 7:51am EDT

Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler connected for a home run on Opening Day as part of an 8-2 win over the Padres.

Fantasy Impact:

The Tigers got off to a hot start on Thursday, scoring four runs in the first inning while Dingler's fifth-inning, two-run homer stretched the Tigers' lead to 8-0. The 27-year-old enjoyed an excellent rookie season in 2025, hitting .278 with 13 home runs and a .752 OPS across 126 games while playing elite defense behind the plate. He is certainly worthy of a look in 12-team leagues as he enters what appears to be a promising sophomore campaign.
