Kyle Finnegan News
Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan earned his 28th save of the season to beat the Atlanta Braves 4-2 on Sunday. The right-handed hurler Finnegan struggled early in the final frame, giving up a homer and a double. He would settle down and retire the next two batters to end the contest. Finnegan ends the year with a 7-5 record and a 3.76 ERA in 69/1 innings pitched. The 33-year-old logged 28 saves in 36 attempts in 2023.
Washington Nationals closer Kyle Finnegan picked up his 27th save of the season on Sunday, closing out a 3-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Finnegan allowed a two-out homer to Sean Murphy, but managed to escape without further damage. The 32-year-old has been extremely shaky in September, allowing 10 runs (nine earned) over 8 IP. He has a blown save and two losses in his eight appearances this month. He will surely close out the season as the Nats closer, but they may look elsewhere next year and there will almost certainly be competition for his job in spring training.
Washington Nationals closer Kyle Finnegan managed to convert his 26th save of the season in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the White Sox. Finnegan entered the game to pitch the top of the ninth up by two. He allowed a leadoff double, got the first out on a groundout, allowed an RBI single, got the second out on a strikeout, allowed a walk, and ended the game on a lineout. The 32-year-old has been inconsistent at times but has now converted 26 of 34 save opportunities with a 3.66 ERA, making him a useful fantasy option in at least all roto leagues.

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan had an overall successful season serving in high-leverage situations, particularly after taking over closing duties in the second half of the season. The 31-year-old went 6-4 with 14 holds and 11 of 15 save opportunities converted with a 3.51 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 26.1% strikeout rate. Finnegan relied heavily on a 97-MPH sinker at 78.8% usage with a slider and split-finger fastball mixed in. He did get hit hard but kept the ball out of the air with an 8.3-degree launch angle. While the Nationals likely won't be the best source of save opportunities, Finnegan doesn't appear to have a ton of competition for the closer role, with Tanner Rainey (elbow) recovering from Tommy John surgery. Finnegan is currently being drafted at about pick 267 overall, putting him well behind other speculative bullpen picks. He is well worth a pick at that position in roto leagues given the prospect of him retaining the closer's role throughout the season.
