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.

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.

McGonigle was promoted to High-A West Michigan on Sunday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. McGonigle produced a .323/.404/.456 slash line with three home runs, 34 RBI, 39 runs and 19 stolen bases over 226 at-bats in 59 games with Single-A Lakeland, and he'll now take the next step in his professional career. Fellow 19-year-old Max Clark was also promoted Sunday, and the two athletes will look to impress with West Michigan for the remainder of the year.

Single-A Lakeland reinstated McGonigle (hamstring) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday. McGonigle missed about two weeks of action to begin the season while recovering from a left hamstring strain, but the injury hasn't inhibited him since he made his return less than a week ago. The infielder has gone 5-for-11 with two doubles, three walks, two runs, two RBI and three stolen bases in four games since returning to the lineup.

McGonigle has a strained left hamstring, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports. McGonigle began progressing toward a return Saturday, but his injury will prevent him from participating in the Tigers' Spring Breakout game against Philadelphia. The 19-year-old infielder worked his way up to Single-A in his first season as a pro, slashing .350/.438/.475 across 48 plate appearances.
