Tigers right-hander Kyle Finnegan pitched a scoreless inning and earned the win over the Astros on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Finnegan entered the game in the fifth inning behind opener Drew Anderson and Jacob Waguespack, and pitched a scoreless frame to officially earn the win as part of a 9-3 Tigers rout. Finnegan has been excellent with a 1.87 ERA in 32 outings, although he has walked more batters (22) than he has struck out (21), leading to a scary 5.53 xFIP and 5.65 SIERA. Unless he fixes his strikeout-to-walk ratio, regression is likely headed his way moving forward.
Tigers right-hander Kyle Finnegan worked a clean ninth inning for his first save of the season on Thursday against the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
After Kenley Jansen had blown saves in each of his last two opportunities, it was Finnegan who got the nod in the ninth on Thursday. The former Nationals closer allowed a one-out single before shutting the door on a 5-2 Tigers win. Finnegan now sports a tidy 0.57 ERA on the season and could be in line for some more save chances given Jansen's early-season struggles.
The Tigers and closer Kyle Finnegan are in agreement on a two-year, $19 million contract.
Fantasy Impact
Finnegan returns to Detroit who he finished the 2025 season with where he posted a 1.50 ERA across 16 relief appearances. He'll likely be competing with Will Vest for the primary closer role in the Tigers bullpen.
There is reportedly mutual interest in Kyle Finnegan returning to the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
Finnegan was traded to the Tigers at the deadline last year. He ended the year as a key piece at the end of the Tigers bullpen. It would not be a surprise to see him end up back in Detroit.
The Detroit Tigers activated Kyle Finnegan from the 15-day injured list on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Finnegan has rejoined the Tigers after a rehab appearance on Thursday in which he recorded a strikeout over two-thirds of an inning. He is expected to continue pitching in high-leverage situations. In a corresponding move, Mason Horn was optioned to Triple-A Toledo.
