BALLER MOVE: Monitor in Deeper Leagues
CALL-UP ETA: July 29
ANALYSIS: The Detroit Tigers are expected to call up their No. 11 prospect, Dillon Dingler, before Monday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. With the Tigers shipping catcher Carson Kelly to the Texas Rangers on Sunday, Dingler will fill that role on the active roster.
The 25-year-old enjoyed a strong Triple-A campaign this season, hitting .308 with 17 home runs, 15 doubles, and 52 RBI across 71 games. Those numbers come after Dingler hit a combined 16 HRs and 58 RBI in Single-A, Double-A, and Triple-A last year. That power alone makes him someone fantasy managers should keep an eye on moving forward.

He has a ton of power, and if that can transfer over to the majors, he would be a solid fantasy option down the stretch. While there's a chance Jake Rogers is still the Tigers' primary catcher, Dingler should see more than enough playing time. He will essentially replace Kelly, who saw 11 starts in July. So, fantasy managers should monitor the young catcher in deeper formats right now.
