Kevin McGonigle Begins Rehab Assignment At Single-A
Kevin McGonigle (ankle) began a rehab assignment on May 10 at Single-A Lakeland, going 1-for-2 with a walk, a double, and a run scored in his first game back. The Tigers' second-ranked prospect (MLB No. 26) doubled twice and collected four RBI for High-A West Michigan on Opening Day, but suffered an ankle sprain that has caused him to miss over a month of the season. The left-handed hitter was fantastic last season at Single-A, slashing .326/.407/.470, with four home runs, 20 steals, and he walked more than he struck out in 60 games before earning a promotion to High-A. The former 37th-overall draft pick played 14 games at High-A before a hand injury ended his season prematurely. Hopefully the injuries aren't going to be a recurring issue, and look for the 20-year-old to rejoin High-A after his rehab is complete. He's still a couple of years away from the majors, but he is a talent that dynasty managers should keep tabs on.
