Latest news
The Tigers signed Kinley to a one-year contract, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Kinley was released by Atlanta last week after posting a 6.00 ERA and 7:7 K:BB over his first nine innings of the second half. The right-hander has been decent overall this season, collecting a 4.01 ERA and 42:20 K:BB over 42.2 innings. Kinley should operate in middle relief for Detroit.

Atlanta released Kinley on Friday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Kinley had been scrubbed from the 40-man roster and is now a free agent after passing through waivers unclaimed. The right-handed reliever held a 2.79 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 64:26 K:BB across 67.2 frames during his time in Atlanta, but a rough start to the second half (6.00 ERA and 7:7 K:BB over nine innings) cost him his job. Kinley should be able to latch on with a new team quickly.

Atlanta designated Kinley for assignment Tuesday.
Kinley has struggled since the All-Star break, collecting a 6.00 ERA and 7:7 K:BB over nine innings. However, he's put in some solid work with Atlanta overall dating back to last season with a 2.79 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 64:26 K:BB across 67.2 frames, so the transaction comes as a bit of a surprise. Kinley could attract some interest via waivers.

Kinley struck out one in a perfect 10th inning Sunday to record his first save of the season in a win over the Yankees.
Didier Fuentes worked the eighth inning and allowed the tying run while closer Raisel Iglesias handled the ninth, leaving manager Walt Weiss to turn to Kinley after Atlanta plated a run in the top of the 10th. The right-hander got the job done, fanning former Rockies teammate Ryan McMahon to end the game. It was Kinley's 22nd career save, but his first in an Atlanta uniform since being acquired at the 2025 trade deadline. Through 41 innings over 47 appearances this season, he's produced a 3.95 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 40:18 K:BB while picking up six wins and 12 holds.

Atlanta activated Kinley from the paternity leave list Friday.
After being away for a few days while welcoming a new addition to the family, Kinley is back in the bullpen for the team's weekend series in St. Louis. Kinley holds a 3.62 ERA and 33:12 K:BB over 32.1 frames this season.

Atlanta placed Kinley on the paternity list Tuesday.
The right-hander will step away from the team for a few days to be with his growing family. Kinley can be on the paternity list for up to three days, so he should be back with Atlanta ahead of Friday's series opener in St. Louis.
