A native of West Palm Beach, Florida, McGaffigan attended Twin Lakes High School, Palm Beach Community College and Florida Southern College. He was selected by the New York Yankees in the 6th round of the 1978 MLB Draft.

McGaffigan made his major league debut with the Yankees in 1981, appearing in two games for New York that season. Prior to the 1982 season, the Yankees shipped him to the San Francisco Giants in a trade for Doyle Alexander. After appearing in only four games for the Giants in 1982, McGaffigan became a regular contributor in 1983, tossing 134.1 innings for San Francisco.

After spending 1984 and 1985 with the Montreal Expos and Cincinnati Reds, McGaffigan had his most productive season in 1986 with the Expos, hurling 142.2 innings, and posting a 10-5 record with a 2.65 ERA for Montreal. He appeared in over 50 games for the Expos in each of the following three campaigns, and recorded impressive ERAs of 2.39 and 2.76 in 1987 and 1988.

The Expos traded McGaffigan back to the Giants prior to the 1990 season, but after just four appearances, San Francisco shipped him to the Kansas City Royals, where he appeared in 24 games and posted a 3.09 ERA for the duration of the season. The Royals released McGaffigan in July of 1991.

McGaffigan batted .048 in his career with 126 at-bats and 6 big league hits. His batting average is considered to be one of the worst all-time for pitchers.
