  "account": "Dillon Dingler's offensive performance has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Since August 7, the Tigers' All-Star catcher has struggled at the plate, batting just .063 over his last 12 games. His slump has affected not just his batting average, but also his on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Instead of his usual destructive power, Dingler has produced only five total bases in 48 at-bats during this stretch. This dramatic decline in performance is particularly concerning as the Tigers are still aiming for a playoff berth.",
