Acclimating well to new level Through 11 games with Double-A Erie, McGonigle is slashing .275/.383/.475 with a home run, a stolen base and nine RBI.

Impact McGonigle was promoted from High-A West Michigan to Double-A on July 6, and he hasn't skipped a beat. The top prospect delivered two doubles for the SeaWolves on Sunday while making the start at shortstop. The Tigers are on pace for another postseason trip in 2025, so they likely won't rush McGonigle up to the majors for some development time in September. However, the 20-year-old infielder has been a fast riser through the minors, and if he keeps performing well down the stretch, McGonigle could be poised to make his MLB debut at some point in 2026.

Elevated to Double-A The Tigers promoted McGonigle from High-A West Michigan to Double-A Erie on Sunday.

Impact McGonigle had been on a tear since late May after returning from a stint on the 7-day injured list, producing a 371/.464/.643 slash line with seven home runs and three stolen bases in his last 35 games with West Michigan. The 20-year-old shortstop is viewed as one of Detroit's top overall prospects, and with a strong showing at Erie to close out the season, he could put himself in the mix for a promotion to the big leagues at some point in 2026.

On fire at High-A McGonigle is batting .382 with a 1.167 OPS, five home runs and 28 RBI across 26 games for High-A West Michigan.

Impact Before going 0-for-3 on Tuesday, McGonigle was riding a nine-game hitting streak, which included both a four-hit and a five-hit effort. The 20-year-old, who was selected with the No. 37 overall pick back in 2023, has quickly established himself as one of the best pure hitters in the minors. McGonigle has yet to appear above the High-A level and is likely still a few years away from the majors, but he's worth keeping a close eye on, particularly in dynasty formats.
