• Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Gets surgery for broken hand

  08/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  McGonigle underwent surgery Aug. 15 to repair a hamate bone fracture in his right hand, MLB.com reports. The Tigers haven't provided a timeline for McGonigle's return, but with High-A West Michigan's season ending Sept. 8, the 20-year-old infielder is most likely done for 2024. The 37th overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, McGonigle finished his first full professional season with a .309/.401/.452 slash line to go with five home runs and 22 stolen bases over 328 plate appearances between stops with West Michigan and Single-A Lakeland.

• Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Hits IL with hamate fracture

  08/12/2024 • By RotoWire

  High-A West Michigan placed McGonigle on its injured list Monday with a hamate fracture of his right hand. McGonigle is a left-handed hitter, but since the injury is to his throwing hand, he may not be cleared to return to game action before West Michigan's season ends Sept. 8. The shortstop has acquitted himself well as a 19-year-old in the Midwest League this season, slashing .214/.368/.357 with a home run and two stolen bases over 57 plate appearances since receiving a promotion from Single-A Lakeland shortly after the All-Star break.
