Top Kevin McGonigle News

  • Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Receiving evening off

    McGonigle is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    The Tigers typically include the left-handed-hitting McGonigle in the lineup against southpaws, but he'll be given a day off for just the third time all season while lefty Payton Tolle toes the rubber for Boston. With McGonigle on the bench, the Tigers will go with Zack Short and Colt Keith as their starters on the left side of the infield.

  • Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Swipes base in win

    McGonigle went 1-for-5 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

    McGonigle continued his strong rookie season, as he's now slashing .310/.404/.476 with two home runs, 14 RBI and 23 runs scored across 33 games. The 21-year-old has also started to run a bit more frequently. McGonigle had only one stolen base across his first 25 games of the year, but he's swiped two bases in his last eight contests, and he's yet to be caught on a stolen base attempt.

  • Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Slugs second homer

    McGonigle went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in a loss to the Reds on Saturday.

    McGonigle gave Detroit an early lead when he knocked Brady Singer's second pitch of the game over the center-field fence for a leadoff homer. The Tigers were able to score only one more run the rest of the way, but that was no fault of McGonigle, who finished with his eighth multi-hit game of the campaign. The talented rookie has had no trouble adjusting to MLB pitching, as he's slashing .333/.424/.539 with two homers, 11 doubles, 12 RBI, 21 runs and two stolen bases over his first 27 contests.

  • Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Keeps on rolling Tuesday

    McGonigle went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 12-4 loss to the Brewers.

    Despite the lopsided loss, McGonigle continued to be a bright spot for the Tigers. The rookie infielder is now riding a six-game hitting streak, with the last three games all going down as multi-hit efforts. Overall, McGonigle is batting a robust .322 with a .904 OPS, and the prospect hype surrounding the 21-year-old has quickly translated into elite fantasy performance.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Grabbing seat Monday

    Baez is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Red Sox.

    Baez had drawn seven consecutive starts, but he'll get a day off for the Patriots' Day game in Boston. Matt Vierling will patrol center field, and Kevin McGonigle will occupy shortstop in the series finale.

  • Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Two hits at Fenway Park

    McGonigle went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a run scored during the Tigers' 4-1 win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

    McGonigle came around to score in the first inning on a bases-loaded walk drawn by Kerry Carpenter, and the former extended the Tigers' lead to 4-0 with an RBI single in the fourth. McGonigle inked an eight-year, $150 million contract extension with the Tigers on Wednesday and is making that move look more and more like a bargain as his rookie season progresses. He is slashing .312/.411/.481 with one steal, one home run, nine RBI and a 13:11 BB:K over 90 plate appearances.

  • Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Receiving Sunday off

    McGonigle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    The 21-year-old rookie will hit the bench Sunday for just the second time this season. McGonigle started the previous eight games and posted a 1.057 OPS with three extra-base hits, eight runs and seven walks during that stretch. Javier Baez is starting at shortstop while Matt Vierling picks up a start in center field.

  • Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Agrees to $150 million extension

    The Tigers signed McGonigle to an eight-year, $150 million contract extension Wednesday.

    The deal will begin in 2027 and run through the 2034 season, which covers McGonigle's final five seasons of club control, plus his first three years of free agency. He'll receive a $14 million signing bonus and the contract can max out at $160 million if McGonigle reaches all escalators. It's the latest in a string of pre-arbitration contract extensions teams have handed out to young players in recent weeks. McGonigle will not turn 22 until August and is slashing .311/.417/.492 with one home run, one stolen base and an 11:8 BB:K over his first 17 games at the major-league level.

  • Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: First big-league homer Sunday

    McGonigle went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Marlins.

    McGonigle smashed his first major-league homer, taking Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara yard in the fifth frame. The top prospect has bounced around the batting order so far, but he hit leadoff for the fifth time this year Sunday and is pushing to maintain a premium lineup spot. Through 68 plate appearances, McGonigle is slashing .322/.412/.508 with eight extra-base hits, eight RBI, one stolen base and 11 runs scored.
