Tigers Face New Bullpen Uncertainty After Injury Scare

On Wednesday, Tigers closer Kyle Finnegan left the bullpen at Comerica Park and was unavailable against the New York Mets after feeling tightness in his right groin while warming up.
While warming up in the seventh inning, broadcasts showed Kyle Finnegan throw a warmup pitch, squat on the bullpen mound, then walk through the Tigers dugout to the clubhouse for testing.
Since the July 31 trade deadline, Kyle Finnegan is 3-0 with four saves and a 0.00 ERA in 12 outings, pitching 14 1/3 scoreless innings with 19 strikeouts for Detroit.
Finnegan left with an athletic trainer and was scheduled for further testing after the game, with manager A.J. Hinch offering no immediate update, while Will Vest warmed up and retired Juan Soto.
With the bullpen already in flux due to Chris Paddack's bereavement leave and Bailey Horn's upcoming paternity leave, co-closer Will Vest, Tommy Kahnle, Rafael Montero, and rookie Troy Melton could see bigger roles before Friday's Chicago White Sox series at Comerica Park.
