Tigers Add Tyler Kinley on MLB Deal
Detroit signs the veteran reliever to bolster the bullpen, with Atlanta still on the hook for most of his remaining 2026 salary.
The Tigers officially signed right-hander Tyler Kinley to a major league contract after Atlanta released him last week. Kinley posted a 4.01 ERA in 42.2 innings this season but underlying metrics like a 5.41 FIP and 15.5% HR/FB rate suggest regression risk. Detroit will pay only prorated league minimum, as Atlanta covers the bulk of his remaining salary. Kinley showed strong form last year with a 0.72 ERA and 2.74 FIP after being acquired by Atlanta from Colorado.
