DETROIT (AP) — Detroit Tigers All-Star catcher Dillon Dingler left Wednesday's game against the Athletics with a injured right hand.
Dingler was hit on the throwing hand by a foul tip off the bat of Jacob Wilson in the second inning. Dingler stayed in the game after a lengthy consultation with Detroit's training staff.
In the bottom of the inning, Jake Rogers pinch hit for Dingler. Rogers hit his second homer of the season, giving Detroit a 3-0 lead.
Dingler entered Wednesday's game hitting .262 with 19 home runs and 60 RBIs.
