Dillon Dingler, Justyn-Henry Malloy Sitting For Tigers
3 months agoDetroit Tigers rookie catcher Dillon Dingler and outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy are both out of the starting lineup again on Wednesday against the visiting Seattle Mariners at Comerica Park. It's hard for the Tigers to leave Jake Rogers out of the lineup after he hit a grand slam and drove in seven runs in the lopsided victory over Seattle on Tuesday. Dingler and Rogers have been splitting the catching duties evenly since the Tigers promoted Dingler from the minors, with the young backstop going 5-for-24 (.208) with a homer, three doubles and four RBI. Henry-Malloy's playing time figures to suffer with Kerry Carpenter back from the injured list. Carpenter hit two home runs in his return from a back injury on Tuesday and is serving as the designated hitter again while batting second versus Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo.
