According to a report from Jon Morosi, Detroit Tigers prospect Kevin McGonigle is expected to miss time due to an ankle injury. McGonigle, currently with the West Michigan Whitecaps, had high expectations heading into the season as one of the best pure hitters in the Tigers’ minor league system.
Status of the Injury Still Unknown
The full extent of McGonigle’s injury has not yet been revealed, but it’s clear that the Tigers will proceed cautiously with their young star. As the Tigers No. 3 overall prospect —trailing only Jackson Jobe and Max Clark—the organization has every reason to take their time with his recovery.
Strong Start to the Season
In his lone game of the 2025 season, McGonigle made an immediate impact. He went 2-for-5 with two doubles and four RBIs, showcasing the advanced approach and contact skills that have made him a top name to watch in the minors.
The Tigers will be hoping for a quick and full recovery, as McGonigle remains a key piece in Detroit’s rebuilding plans. As more information becomes available regarding the severity of the injury, fans will be keeping a close eye on updates from the team.
