Dingler left with an injured right hand, and Kurtz exited with an illness after both All-Stars were hurt in the second inning.
On Wednesday, Detroit Tigers All-Star Dillon Dingler and Athletics All-Star Nick Kurtz both exited their game early in the second inning. Dingler sustained a right hand injury, while Kurtz departed due to illness.
Dingler was struck on his throwing hand by a foul tip from Jacob Wilson in the second inning; after a lengthy consultation with Detroit's training staff, he stayed before being replaced by Jake Rogers.
Kurtz departed the game in the second inning due to illness, with Jeff McNeil entering as his replacement at first base for the Athletics.
Rogers capitalized on his opportunity, hitting his second home run of the season to give Detroit a 3-0 lead following his entry into the game.
With Dingler's right hand injury and Kurtz's illness, both teams will monitor their starters' availability for upcoming games as recovery progresses.
