Tyler Kinley's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Tyler Kinley escaped with his fifth save of the season in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Twins. Kinley entered the game to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by three. He allowed a leadoff double, got the first two outs on a line-out and a strikeout, allowed a two-run home run, and ended the game with another strikeout. The 33-year-old has picked up a save in each of his last three appearances. However, his 8.10 ERA, 4.73 BB/9 rate, and 2.36 HR/9 rate do not instill confidence. It seems like Kinley may be the preferred late-inning arm for the Rockies at the moment, but his other numbers make it difficult for fantasy managers to roster him except perhaps in the deepest of roto leagues.

Colorado Rockies right-hander Tyler Kinley tossed a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 6-5 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. Kinley struck out one and allowed one hit on the way to picking up his fourth save in four chances this season. The 33-year-old has taken over as the primary closer in Colorado, posting a 3-1 record, 7.71 ERA, 1.79 WHIP, and 28 strikeouts over 25 2/3 innings of work. Putting him in starting lineups in fantasy is risky due to the potential for a blowup outing but he's potentially worth a look in leagues where fantasy managers are desperate for saves.

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Tyler Kinley recorded a one-out save on Thursday to secures the club's 22nd victory versus the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. Kinley reliever Jalen Beeks, who had recorded the first two outs of the inning via strikeout and pop-up. Kinley allowed a single to Paul Goldschmidt, but was able to get Nolan Gorman to strikeout to end the inning for his third save of the season. The Rockies bullpen has been a mess this season and with limited wins, weather it is Justin Lawrence, Beeks, Kinley or another option, it is recommended to avoid the situation completely.
