Tigers reliever Kyle Finnegan tweaks groin while warming up, unavailable against Mets

Detroit Tigers closer Kyle Finnegan was unable to pitch Wednesday against the New York Mets after injuring himself in the bullpen

SEPTEMBER 3, 2025 • Associated Press

Dealing with groin issue Finnegan ended his warm-up pitches and headed to the locker room Wednesday due to groin tightness, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact The right-hander was preparing to enter the game in the seventh inning before cutting short his warm-up routine. Finnegan has been a key high-leverage arm for the Tigers since being acquired from the Nationals, firing 14.1 scoreless innings over 12 appearances with a 19:3 K:BB, two holds, three wins and four saves. Should he end up missing significant time, Tommy Kahnle and Tyler Holton would likely step up as set-up men for Will Vest.

Records win in relief Friday Finnegan (4-4) tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Friday against the Royals. He walked one and struck out three.

Impact Detroit starter Chris Paddack only lasted 3.2 innings, which led the Tigers to use four relievers. Finnegan was the second to last one used, picking up his fourth win of the season when Will Vest closed things out behind him in a 5-3 victory. Finnegan has been a strong addition to Detroit's bullpen, as he's yet to be scored on in 13.1 innings since joining the team at the trade deadline. He and Vest should continue to see save opportunities, giving both pitchers fantasy value moving forward.

Logs another save Finnegan earned a save against the Twins on Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.

Impact Finnegan inherited a three-run lead when he entered in the ninth inning, and he worked around a two-out infield single to secure the save. The veteran right-hander has yet to be scored upon since joining Detroit at the trade deadline, racking up 7.2 shutout frames with a 10:1 K:BB over seven appearances. Finnegan notched a save in his first three appearances with the Tigers, then went three consecutive outings without a save, with Will Vest picking up a pair of saves during that latter span. Vest worked the eighth inning and recorded a hold Saturday, and it appears that manager A.J. Hinch prefers to deploy the two relievers as co-closers rather than settling on one as the set-in-stone ninth-inning option.

Logs another save Finnegan earned a save against the Twins on Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.

Impact Finnegan inherited a three-run lead when he entered in the ninth inning, and he worked around a two-out infield single to secure the save. The veteran right-hander has yet to be scored upon since joining Detroit at the trade deadline, racking up 7.2 shutout frames with a 10:1 K:BB over seven appearances. Finnegan notched a save in his first three appearances with the Tigers, then went three consecutive outings without one as Will Vest picked up a pair of saves during that latter span. Vest got the final out of the seventh inning and worked the eighth against the top of the Twins' order, and he seems to be viewed as the higher-leverage option for manager A.J. Hinch -- which should result in more ninth-inning chances for Finnegan when Vest is needed earlier in the game.
