Tyler Kinley - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

DFA'd by Atlanta Atlanta designated Kinley for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Kinley has struggled since the All-Star break, collecting a 6.00 ERA and 7:7 K:BB over nine innings. He's given Atlanta some solid work dating back to last season, however, with a 2.79 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 64:26 K:BB across 67.2 frames, so the transaction comes as a bit of a surprise. There could be some interest in Kinley via waivers.

Collects first save of season Kinley struck out one in a perfect 10th inning Sunday to record his first save of the season in a win over the Yankees.

Impact Didier Fuentes worked the eighth inning and allowed the tying run while closer Raisel Iglesias handled the ninth, leaving manager Walt Weiss to turn to Kinley after Atlanta plated a run in the top of the 10th. The right-hander got the job done, fanning former Rockies teammate Ryan McMahon to end the game. It was Kinley's 22nd career save, but his first in an Atlanta uniform since being acquired at the 2025 trade deadline. Through 41 innings over 47 appearances this season, he's produced a 3.95 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 40:18 K:BB while picking up six wins and 12 holds.
