Kyle Finnegan Stats

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan entered for the eighth inning against the Colorado Rockies on Monday and recorded his 13th hold of the season. He gave up one hit and one walk while striking out one in an inning of work. He was notably followed by fellow reliever Tanner Rainey, who recorded the save. Finnegan had been the closer since the trade deadline, but Rainey appears to have surpassed him. Finnegan is no longer worth holding on fantasy rosters.

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan was credited with a save Thursday, but he almost blew it, giving up two runs on two hits with one strikeout in an inning of work. Finnegan now has 11 saves on the season, with all 11 coming in the last 30 games, but he's also given up multiple runs in three of his last four outings. With Tanner Rainey enjoying plenty of success, perhaps Finnegan is not as secure in the closer role as previously thought. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on this situation.

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan locked down his 10th save of the year Sunday, allowing one walk and striking out one in an inning of work against the Colorado Rockies. It's a good bounce-back outing for Finnegan, who had blown two consecutive saves coming into the contest. Finnegan faces little competition for save chances, but he still has very limited fantasy upside, given that the Nationals just endured the worst 50-game stretch in franchise history.
