Kyle Finnegan maintains setup duties in Detroit despite persistent ratio troubles

Finnegan has settled down with two scoreless frames over his last three appearances, though that brief reprieve comes right after a rocky 14-day stretch where he was tagged for a 10.47 ERA and a 2.33 WHIP. The veteran serves as Detroit's primary eighth-inning setup man ahead of closer Kenley Jansen, keeping his high-leverage gig secure amid bullpen injuries to Will Vest and Burch Smith. Detroit currently sits in fourth place in the AL Central at 67-79, riding a modest one-game win streak.

Under the hood, Finnegan's performance this year has fallen well short of our initial season projection of a 3.71 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. His 2026 baseline features a bloated 1.87 WHIP and 34 walks across 51.4 innings, showing that his recent command struggles are not an outlier but rather an ongoing issue. Without the closing role he enjoyed in past years, his modest strikeout total cannot mask these ratio risks.

Detroit closes out the week with a three-game weekend home stand against the last-place Rockies. While Colorado's punchless offense could yield low-stress innings or a stray hold chance, our weekly projection foresees continued ratio turbulence. Unless you specifically chase holds in deep formats, keep him benched. Sit.
