Hits 15-day IL The Tigers placed Finnegan on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to Wednesday, with left groin inflammation.

Impact Finnegan had struggled in his last two outings Sunday and Monday. Both games were in Toronto, where he gave up four earned runs on six hits with one strikeout across 1.1 innings through the two games. With the Tigers about near being eliminated from making the playoffs, Finnegan's season is likely over. In a corresponding move Thursday, the Tigers recalled Ty Madden from Triple-A Toledo.

Takes first 2026 loss Finnegan (3-1) allowed an unearned run on two hits without recording an out to take the loss in Sunday's 3-2, 10-inning defeat to the Guardians.

Impact Finnegan was tasked with navigating the bottom of the 10th inning in a 2-2 game, but he allowed two quick singles on five pitches to allow the automatic runner to score from second and take his first loss of the season. While he wasn't charged with any earned runs Sunday, the righty still continued his recent struggles, as he's sitting with an 8.76 ERA across his last 15 appearances to go along with two blown saves and a loss on his ledger. Overall, Finnegan has been better with a 3.86 ERA in 58.1 innings this season, though his 1.61 WHIP would easily be a new career worst.

Gets hit hard Tuesday Finnegan allowed five runs on three hits and two walks while retiring only one batter in relief during Tuesday's 15-2 loss to the Twins.

Impact Finnegan didn't take the loss, as Detroit starter Troy Melton was also hit hard as he allowed seven runs (five earned) in 5.1 innings, but the righty reliever was wholly ineffective out of the bullpen. The 34-year-old saw his ERA climb from 3.27 to 4.07, and the rough performance comes on the heels of a month in which he posted a subpar 5.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP across 10 appearances. Finnegan will look to turn things around in September, though he's not off to an encouraging start, and his fantasy value remains limited in a setup role for a team that is now 12 games below .500.

Cleans up for second save Finnegan earned the save Thursday against the Royals, recording the final two outs in a 4-3 victory.

Impact With Kenley Jansen unavailable after pitching in three of the previous four days, Drew Sommers got the initial call in the ninth but was pulled after allowing a walk and a single. Finnegan entered with two runners on and one out and needed just two pitches to induce Salvador Perez into a game-ending double play, earning his second save of the season and first since April 30. While the veteran owns a respectable 2.36 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 35:25 K:BB across 45.2 innings, he has struggled to capitalize on closing opportunities, converting just two of eight save chances this season.
