Detroit Tigers All-Star catcher Dillon Dingler and Oakland Athletics All-Star Nick Kurtz both leave a Wednesday game against the Athletics in the second inning for different reasons, according to multiple reports. Dingler exits with an injured right hand after a foul tip off the bat of Jacob Wilson hits his throwing hand in the second inning. He remains in the game for a time following an extended discussion with Detroit’s training staff before ultimately leaving. Separately, Kurtz leaves the game due to illness, with reports noting that he exits early as well rather than continuing play. All sources agree the departures occur during the second inning and that the reason differs for each player: Dingler’s is injury-related, while Kurtz’s is illness-related. The reports do not indicate a diagnosis or specific severity for either situation, and they do not detail replacements or subsequent roster moves.
