Kyle Finnegan - Page 19 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Tallies first save Finnegan struck out two and did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Phillies.

Impact Finnegan was thrust into the closer's role with Brad Hand and Daniel Hudson (COVID-19 protocols) traded Thursday. He had little trouble shutting down the Phillies, as he needed only 12 pitches to record his first career save. With Hand and Hudson out of the picture, Finnegan could be in the position to see save opportunities across the final two months of the campaign.

Earns win in relief Finnegan (4-2) earned the win Tuesday against the Yankees after pitching a scoreless inning in relief.

Impact Finnegan entered the game in the seventh inning and was both effective and dominant, needing just seven pitches (six strikes) to retire the side even though he didn't record a single strikeout. The right-hander bounced back from an ugly outing against the Padres last week, but it's worth noting he has six scoreless appearances over his last seven trips to the mound. He owns a 3.82 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP across 35.1 innings on the season.

Back from injured list Finnegan (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact The right-hander threw a simulated game over the weekend, so he'll make his return from the injured list without heading to the minors for a rehab assignment. Finnegan has seven holds with a 3.86 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 36:17 K:BB across 30.1 innings this season.

Throws simulated game Finnegan (hamstring) threw a simulated game Sunday morning, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Given the righty's fairly brief absence, it's possible the simulated game may deem a rehab assignment unnecessary, in which case Finnegan would be no more than a couple days from returning. There's been no indication from the Nationals, however, of whether he'll head to Triple-A Rochester for some additional work.

Slated for another bullpen Finnegan (hamstring) is expected to throw a bullpen session Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Manager Dave Martinez said Tuesday that Finnegan is "getting really close" to a return from the injured list. While the right-hander could require a rehab assignment before he returns to the major-league bullpen, he'll throw at least one more bullpen before the team determines the next step in his recovery process.

Impact Finnegan was shut down June 22 with a left hamstring injury, but the fact that he's throwing again a week later suggests that he's dealing with a fairly minor strain. Before activating him from the IL, the Nationals will likely want Finnegan to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment, which he could do this weekend.
