Kyle Finnegan - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Works eighth inning again Wednesday Finnegan worked around a walk to toss a scoreless inning of relief in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the White Sox.

Impact Finnegan worked the eighth inning and earned a hold while Will Vest got the save in the ninth. The same scenario played out Monday, with Finnegan picking up the win in relief and Vest earning the save. Before that, Finnegan had rattled off three straight saves for the Tigers, so it appears that the team's late-game bullpen usage is going to be a bit fluid moving forward depending on matchups. Both Finnegan and Vest have fantasy value in this arrangement, though they do cap each other's ceilings to a degree.

Earns win Monday Finnegan (2-4) tossed a scoreless inning of relief with a strikeout to earn the win in Monday's 2-1 victory over the White Sox.

Impact Finnegan had earned three saves with the Tigers since coming over before the trade deadline, but he was used in the eighth inning Monday and managed to pick up his first win with his new team while Will Vest got the save. Finnegan still looks like Detroit's top closing option at the moment, though manager A.J. Hinch is known for mixing and matching with his bullpen, so Vest figures to remain in the mix for saves, giving both players fantasy value moving forward.

Nets third save with Tigers Finnegan threw a clean ninth inning to notch the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Angels. He struck out two.

Impact Finnegan nailed down his 23rd save of the season, and he appears to have quickly assumed closing duties since landing with Detroit. The hard-throwing right-hander now has three saves in as many appearances for the Tigers, and he's fired five consecutive scoreless outings dating back to his time with the Nationals. Will Vest hasn't converted a save since July 20 in Texas, so his fantasy arrow seems to be pointing down overall.

Notches second save with Detroit Finnegan picked up the save in Monday's 6-3 win against Minnesota, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

Impact Finnegan worked around a one-out single by Royce Lewis to tally his 22nd save of the season. Despite not pitching since Saturday, Will Vest did not appear in this contest; however, he tossed 29 pitches across Friday and Saturday. Finnegan appears to have pulled ahead Vest as the primary saves option in Detroit, but the situation remains fluid given manager A.J. Hinch's proclivity to mix and match relievers based on matchups. In 41.1 total innings, Finnegan owns a 4.14 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB while converting 22-of-28 save chances.

Earns first save with new club Finnegan earned a perfect four-out save in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Phillies. He recorded one strikeout.

Impact Finnegan was summoned to relieve presumed closer Will Vest with a runner on and two outs in the eighth after Vest surrendered two runs in the frame. The 32-year-old shut the door from there, retiring the side in the ninth to notch his first save with the Tigers. Finnegan is now 21-for-27 in save chances this season while sporting a 4.24 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB across 40.1 innings. He clearly remains in the mix for saves in Detroit, especially if Vest continues to be deployed in earlier high-leverage spots.

Acquired by Tigers The Tigers acquired Finnegan from the Nationals on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Finnegan has notched 20 saves for the Nationals this season, collecting a 4.38 ERA and 32:14 K:BB over 39 innings along the way. He is unlikely to unseat Will Vest as the Tigers' primary closer option, but Finnegan will give manager A.J. Hinch another late-inning option. With Finnegan no longer around, Jose Ferrer could be the current favorite for saves in the Nationals' bullpen.

Locks down 20th save Finnegan picked up the save Monday against the Astros. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out one over a perfect inning.

Impact Finnegan made quick work of the Astros in the ninth inning, retiring the side to seal a Nationals win Monday. The veteran has long been known for his inconsistency, and 2025 has followed that familiar pattern. He has allowed multiple runs in four outings but posted zeroes in 29 others. His overall numbers on the year, a 4.38 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 39 innings, are underwhelming, but he remains a potential trade candidate for a contending team seeking bullpen depth, likely in a role outside of the closer spot.
