Detroit — Tigers’ All-Star catcher Dillon Dingler was removed from the game in the bottom of the second inning Wednesday.
He’d been hit on his right hand while catching in the top of the second. A 95-mph sinker from Troy Melton caromed off Dingler’s glove and hit him directly on his right hand.
He was in obvious pain and manager AJ Hinch and trainer Ryne Eubanks came out to examine him. After a few practice throws, Dingler was able to finish the inning.
But when his turn to bat came around in the bottom of the inning, Hinch sent up Jake Rogers to pinch-hit. Rogers responded by clubbing a two-run homer to left.
There was no immediate announcement on the specifics of the injury.
