The Detroit Tigers signed right-handed reliever Tyler Kinley to a Major League contract on August 25, 2026. Kinley, recently let go by the Atlanta Braves, has a career 4.67 ERA and previously had a standout performance with a 0.72 ERA after joining Atlanta from Colorado. The Tigers are making this addition with the hope of bolstering their bullpen, as Kinley's salary will largely still be covered by the Braves. In corresponding moves, Ty Madden was optioned, and Ricky Vanasco was designated for assignment.
