As the fantasy baseball season progresses into Week 7, savvy managers are eyeing the waiver wire for potential boosts. The Detroit Tigers, who have shown promising performances recently, house several under-rostered players worth considering. Dillon Dingler, currently at just 10% rostered, is highlighted as a key catcher to target this week. Additionally, with the Chicago Cubs calling up their top prospect, there are fresh opportunities for managers to enhance their pitching staff.

Allocating FAAB wisely is crucial, with suggested bids outlined for each player. The overall focus is on maximizing roster potential by leveraging players who can contribute significantly across various categories.

In a remarkable performance on May 9, Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal dominated the Texas Rangers, leading his team to a 2-1 victory. Skubal, the reigning American League Cy Young winner, struck out 12 batters and took a perfect game into the sixth inning before allowing a hit. The Tigers' offense was powered by Colt Keith and Dillon Dingler, who both contributed key RBIs. Skubal's exceptional outing marked his ninth career game with double-digit strikeouts, showcasing his incredible strikeout-to-walk ratio of 50:1 over his last six starts.

Colt Keith's aggressive base running led to an early run, and his RBI single extended the Tigers' lead to 2-0. Meanwhile, Skubal's exceptional command of his fastball and changeup kept the Rangers at bay, even as they managed to score one run in the sixth. The Tigers relied on their bullpen, with Tommy Kahnle and Will Vest closing the game effectively to secure their fifth straight victory, improving their season record to 26-13.

The fantasy baseball landscape for catchers is dynamic heading into Week 6 (May 5 - May 11), with several players poised to make an impact. Tyler Stephenson of the Cincinnati Reds recently returned from injury, displaying a promising offensive track record, making him a prime candidate for deeper leagues. Meanwhile, Agustin Ramirez has been an exciting start for the Miami Marlins, offering a rare combination of power and speed that could elevate him to a top-tier catcher if he maintains his momentum.

In deeper leagues, Dillon Dingler of the Detroit Tigers is emerging as a solid option, having taken on a larger role due to an injury to Jake Rogers. His performance at Coors Field this week could further enhance his value. Alejandro Kirk from the Toronto Blue Jays is slowly regaining form and should be monitored, especially since he faces favorable matchups against left-handed pitchers.

The Detroit Tigers showcased their resilience with a thrilling 10-4 comeback win against the Los Angeles Angels, highlighted by a dramatic eighth inning where they scored five runs. Dillon Dingler's three-run homer was the climax of a series of aggressive plays, including clutch hitting from Andy Ibáñez and Zach McKinstry. The Tigers capitalized on the Angels' errors, particularly Jo Adell's bobble, to apply pressure and turn the game around.

Javier Báez had an impressive outing with both a home run and a spectacular defensive play that saved a run. Casey Mize pitched seven innings, enduring some tough moments but ultimately securing the win. Meanwhile, the Angels were left without their star, Mike Trout, who was sidelined due to knee issues, further complicating their efforts against the resilient Tigers.

Reese Olson delivered a stellar performance as he pitched the Detroit Tigers to a convincing 6-0 shutout over the San Diego Padres at Comerica Park. The young right-hander allowed only two hits in 7⅓ innings, showcasing his command with 21 of 25 first-pitch strikes. Olson’s impressive outing contributed to the Tigers winning their second consecutive game against a team that had been on a hot streak.

Offensively, Gleyber Torres, Justyn-Henry Malloy, and Dillon Dingler each hit home runs, helping the Tigers score six runs and secure their sixth series victory of the season. Manager A.J. Hinch praised Olson for his relentless approach and strike zone dominance, which was key in neutralizing a lineup filled with right-handed hitters. The Tigers now stand at 15-10, winning 15 of their last 22 games.
