Kevin McGonigle Still on the Big-League Roster
Detroit Tigers shortstop prospect Kevin McGonigle remains with the big-league squad for their Cactus League game on Monday against the Colorado Rockies. He is starting at third base and will hit sixth in the batting order. Opening Day is coming on Thursday against the hosting San Diego Padres, so it's looking awfully likely that the 21-year-old will make Detroit's Opening Day roster as its starting shortstop despite having no experience beyond Double-A. He has held his own in spring training, going 10-for-40 (.250) with two home runs, two doubles, a triple, six stolen bases, eight runs scored, two stolen bases, 11 walks, and eight strikeouts in 52 plate appearances. McGonigle can do it all, but what has been most impressive this spring has been his plate discipline at such a young age. His power and speed are still developing, but McGonigle can at least serve as middle-infield depth with upside in mixed fantasy leagues in 2026 with a clear path to the majority of playing time at the 6 in Motown. He's ranked as the No. 2 prospect in all of baseball for a reason.
