KYLE FINNEGAN NEWS

Fires immaculate inning Finnegan struck out the side on only nine pitches in the sixth inning of Wednesday's loss to Atlanta.

Impact Replacing Erick Fedde with the Nats down 5-1, Finnegan got Austin Riley and Dansby Swanson swinging before William Contreras looked at a called strike three. Per Jessica Camerato of MLB.com, it's the fifth immaculate inning in Nationals history, with the right-hander joining Stephen Strasburg, Max Scherzer (who did it twice) and Jordan Zimmermann in a fairly exclusive club. Finnegan has had a solid start to the season with a 3.55 ERA and 17:5 K:BB through 12.2 innings, but his low-leverage role has limited his fantasy value, as he has only one win and one hold through 13 appearances.

Earns first win of season Finnegan (1-0) earned the win off the bullpen Monday against the Cardinals. He gave up one run on one hit while striking out two across 1.1 innings.

Impact Finnegan recorded the final out of the fifth inning and pitched the sixth while limiting the damage to just one run -- a two-out solo shot from Yadier Molina, who has been one of the best hitters in the National League in the first few days of the season. Finnegan has allowed two earned runs on 3.1 innings across four appearances this season, fanning five and walking just one.

Set for middle relief role Finnegan is on track to break camp in the Nationals' bullpen.

Impact The right-hander has a superficially shaky 6.75 ERA this spring and has served up three homers, but his 8:1 K:BB in eight innings is strong. Finnegan is coming off a solid big-league debut in 2020 and should fill a middle-relief role for the Nats.
