Latest news
The Tigers placed Finnegan on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to Wednesday, with left groin inflammation.
Finnegan struggled in his last two outings Monday and Tuesday, giving up four earned runs on six hits with one strikeout across 1.1 frames in Toronto. The veteran right-hander will miss the rest of the regular season and has likely already thrown his last pitch of 2026 since Detroit's playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. In a corresponding move, the Tigers recalled Ty Madden from Triple-A Toledo.

Finnegan (3-1) allowed an unearned run on two hits without recording an out to take the loss in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to the Guardians in 10 innings.
Finnegan was tasked with navigating the bottom of the 10th inning in a 2-2 game, but he allowed two quick singles on five pitches to allow the automatic runner to score from second and take his first loss of the season. While he wasn't charged with any earned runs Sunday, the righty still continued his recent struggles, as he's sitting with an 8.76 ERA across his last 15 appearances to go along with two blown saves and a loss on his ledger. Overall, Finnegan has been better with a 3.86 ERA in 58.1 innings this season, though his 1.61 WHIP would easily be a new career worst.

Finnegan allowed five runs on three hits and two walks while retiring only one batter in relief during Tuesday's 15-2 loss to the Twins.
Finnegan didn't take the loss, as Detroit starter Troy Melton was also hit hard as he allowed seven runs (five earned) in 5.1 innings, but the righty reliever was wholly ineffective out of the bullpen. The 34-year-old saw his ERA climb from 3.27 to 4.07, and the rough performance comes on the heels of a month in which he posted a subpar 5.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP across 10 appearances. Finnegan will look to turn things around in September, though he's not off to an encouraging start, and his fantasy value remains limited in a setup role for a team that is now 12 games below .500.

Finnegan earned the save Thursday against the Royals, recording the final two outs in a 4-3 victory.
With Kenley Jansen unavailable after pitching three of the previous four days, Drew Sommers got the initial call in the ninth but was pulled after allowing a walk and a single. Finnegan entered with two runners on and one out and needed just two pitches to induce a game-ending double play from Salvador Perez, earning his second save of the season and first since April 30. While the veteran right-hander owns a respectable 2.36 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP and 35:25 K:BB across 45.2 innings, he has struggled to protect leads this season, getting charged with six blown saves.
RotoWire via ESPN · Jul 24
Finnegan tossed 1.2 scoreless innings and earned a hold in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Twins. He walked one and struck out three.
Finnegan got the last two batters of the seventh inning and then worked through the eighth for the Tigers. With Kenley Jansen (pelvis) on the IL, Finnegan has gotten some run as Detroit's closer, but he's blown four saves in five chances this year. The Tigers have seemingly turned to Will Vest to end games instead, though Finnegan has been effective overall with a 2.01 ERA across 31.1 innings out of the bullpen this season. The righty also leads the team with nine holds.

Finnegan was charged with a blown save in Friday's extra-inning loss to the White Sox. He allowed one run on two hits over one inning of work with no walks or strikeouts.
With Kenley Jansen (pelvis) on the IL, Finnegan entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a 2-1 lead, but he couldn't close the door. With two outs, the White Sox forced extra innings when Andrew Benintendi crossed home plate on a sacrifice bunt from Rikuu Nishida thanks to a throwing error by Spencer Torkelson -- a throw that would've ended the game if it hadn't been an error. As a result, Finnegan was charged with a blown save for the fourth time in his last nine outings. He has one save and six holds this season, but his late-inning issues are worrisome -- even if he has a 2.03 ERA in 26 appearances so far. He also has a career-worst 1.58 WHIP.
