Tigers Sign 9-Year MLB Veteran Relief Pitcher
The Detroit Tigers have added a new pitcher to their roster, as they have signed veteran reliever Tyler Kinley.
The Detroit Tigers have bolstered their bullpen by signing veteran relief pitcher Tyler Kinley to a major league contract. Kinley, a 6-foot-4 righty, has been assigned to Detroit's major league roster. The Tigers acquired the 39-year-old from the Atlanta Braves last week following his being designated for assignment and subsequently released.
Kinley's signing presents the Tigers with a potential new addition to their bullpen, one that has previously shown he can make a significant impact when pitching at his best. In 391 career MLB games spanning nine seasons, Kinley has compiled a 25-19 record and a 4.67 ERA. He had a remarkable 5-0 record and a 0.72 ERA in 24 games for the Braves last season, after being acquired from the Colorado Rockies.
Since joining the Braves earlier this season, Kinley has compiled a 6-5 record, a 4.01 ERA, and 42 strikeouts in 49 games. The Tigers' addition of Kinley is a wise move, providing the team with another veteran pitcher to rely on in high-pressure situations.
