The Detroit Tigers have promoted top catching prospect Dillon Dingler from Double-A Erie to Triple-A Toledo.
The No. 38 overall pick in the 2020 draft out of Ohio State hit .253 with nine home runs, 27 walks and 63 strikeouts at the Double-A level. He also played in 12 games for Low-A Lakeland on a pair of rehab assignments, hitting .395 with four homers, seven walks and eight strikeouts.
Dingler, who turns 25 in mid-September, is expected to start Wednesday for Triple-A Toledo as the catcher for right-hander Keider Montero, who has previous experience with Dingler.
