Keeps rolling Monday
Dingler went 2-for-4 with a triple and three runs scored in Monday's 9-3 win over the Astros.
Analysis
Dingler is known more for his home run power than his speed, but he's now managed to record a triple in consecutive games. The Detroit catcher is having an outstanding season with 16 long balls, 36 runs scored, 50 RBI and an .868 OPS across 65 contests. At this rate, Dingler seems headed for an All-Star Game appearance next month, and he's been a tremendous fantasy asset so far.

Triples, drives in run Saturday
Dingler went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Guardians.
Analysis
Dingler plated Detroit's first and only run of the contest on a first-inning single, then recorded his first triple of the season later in the game. The catcher has been providing plenty of extra-base hits lately with a triple, four doubles, six home runs and a 1.112 OPS across his last 15 games. Dingler could be ticketed for his first All-Star appearance next month, as he's been one of the best offensive backstops in the majors this year.

Overall, it's been a great start to the season for the Detroit catcher with 16 long balls and 49 RBI across 62 contests.

Bops two homers in win
Dingler went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, four RBI and three runs Tuesday in the Tigers' 10-4 win over the Twins.
Analysis
After batting just .140 over his final 12 games of May, Dingler has sizzled at the plate since the calendar flipped to June. Dingler has fueled the Tigers' 6-1 start to the month, slashing .393/.438/1.000 with five home runs, 14 RBI and nine runs. The 27-year-old has been an excellent value pick for fantasy managers, as he currently ranks third among all catchers in home runs (16), seventh in runs (32) and first in RBI (48) on the season.
