Kyle Finnegan Stats

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan was called upon to protect a one-run lead against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. The right-hander needed only 10 pitches to record his eighth save in 12 attempts this season. At this point, Finnegan appears to be the primary closer for Washington. The 30-year-old isn't a great fantasy option, but is worth rostering in fantasy formats where saves matter.

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan threw a scoreless ninth inning against the San Diego Padres on Thursday night. The right-hander issued a pair of walks, which made for an interesting inning. However, he was able to get Jurickson Profar to ground into a double play to escape the jam. Finnegan has converted six of his 10 save chances this season. He should get more opportunities through the final few weeks of the regular season. There's not a ton of fantasy value here with the Nationals not getting many save chances. Honestly, Finnegan only has value to fantasy managers who are desperate for saves.

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan picked up his fifth save of the season in Monday's 5-4 win over the Cubs. Finnegan was called upon to close things out with a one-run lead and delivered a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout. It initially appeared that Finnegan would be the go-to bullpen arm for save situations when Tanner Rainey (elbow) went on the injured list with a UCL injury to his right elbow, but it now appears that he is in a timeshare with Carl Edwards Jr. Finnegan has converted five of nine save opportunities this season with a 3.47 ERA. The fact that the Nationals may not see a ton of save opportunities plus the uncertain job security limits Finnegan's fantasy value at this time.
