Tigers Add Kinley to Shut Down Righties | Detroit Tigers News

The Tigers snagged veteran reliever Tyler Kinley to bolster their bullpen, especially against right-handed batters — a key weakness they’ve been trying to fix. At 35, Kinley brings a solid slider and a 6-5 record with 42 strikeouts in 42⅔ innings this year. To make room, they sent Ty Madden to Triple-A and designated Ricky Vanasco for assignment — tough moves, but necessary as the season winds down. Madden’s demotion isn’t permanent; he could return in September if he continues to show promise. With Kinley in, the Tigers are hoping to find that winning formula in the pen as they push for the finish line. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
