Rookie Shortstop Slotted into Starting Lineup Against Rangers

Kevin McGonigle was slotted into the Detroit Tigers' starting lineup as the shortstop for Sunday night's game against the Texas Rangers. The rookie's inclusion in the starting nine for the 7:20 p.m. matchup at Comerica Park highlights the organization's trust in his defensive abilities and potential at the plate. Facing Rangers starter Jack Leiter, McGonigle looks to contribute to a Tigers offense that is currently 17-17 and seeking to gain ground in the American League standings.
