Dingler was selected by his fellow players as the reserve catcher for the American League in the 2026 All Star game to be played on July 14 in Philadelphia.
It’s the first All Star selection for the 27 year old Dingler, who last year as a rookie for Tigers, won a “Gold Glove” as the best defensive catcher in the American League.
