Dillon Dingler - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Nearing return Dingler (elbow) is working through a return-to-play throwing progression this week and is expected to be ready to return in early March, MLB.com reports.

Impact Dingler underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow at the end of January and has been working his way back in recent weeks. He has been taking part in all other baseball activities, and now his throwing seems to be nearly back to normal as well. With more than a month to go until Opening Day, Dingler doesn't seem to be in any danger of missing regular-season contests, and he should be Detroit's clear top catcher after a strong 2025 campaign.

Still limited in throwing program The Tigers announced Sunday that Dingler (elbow) is working his way through a throwing progression, but he's completing all other baseball activities, Evan Petzold of the Detroit F...

Impact After a Gold Glove-winning 2025 campaign, Dingler underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow Jan. 28 and is still working his way back to full strength. While Dingler will need to prove by the end of camp that he can throw at his usual velocity and distance in order to avoid a stint on the injured list to open the season, he should be able to pick up at-bats as a designated hitter during Grapefruit League games in the meantime.

Recovering from elbow scope Dingler will be eased into spring training after undergoing arthroscopic right elbow surgery, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact It's unclear when exactly Dingler had the operation, but he had a similar surgery two years ago and does not expect to be sidelined for much of camp. Dingler -- who won a Gold Glove in 2025 -- should be fine for Opening Day, but if his recovery lags, Jake Rogers would step in as the Tigers' primary catcher.
