Finnegan has allowed two runs on three hits and a walk across 1.2 innings since coming off the injured list Friday. After missing nearly a month due to a right groin strain, Finnegan has made two relief appearances, and he's been scored on each time. In Tuesday's loss to the Guardians, the righty came on in the seventh inning with an inherited runner on first and promptly allowed a double and a single to plate two Cleveland runs. Finnegan logged 12 straight scoreless outings for the Tigers before going down with his injury, so he may simply be dealing with some rust, but he should still see high-leverage work in the last few games of the regular season as Detroit fights for a playoff spot.

The Tigers reinstated Finnegan (groin) from the injured list Friday. Finnegan has sat out the entire month of September while dealing with a right groin strain. He made one rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, striking out one batter and walking another over two-thirds of an inning, and he now has the green light to return to Detroit's bullpen. The 34-year-old righty has pitched 14.1 shutout frames with a 19:3 K:BB since joining the Tigers at the trade deadline and could get save opportunities down the stretch.

Finnegan (groin) is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. Finnegan said he is "ready to go" for Friday's contest. The 34-year-old right-hander has been on the shelf since the start of September due to a right adductor strain. He'll likely compete with Will Vest for saves during the closing days of the regular season.

Finnegan (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. Finnegan has missed most of September with a right adductor strain but has been cleared to test things out in a game setting. Given his brief absence, it could be the only rehab appearance Finnegan needs before returning to the Tigers' active roster. He's made 12 scoreless appearances and recorded four saves since being acquired by Detroit at the trade deadline.

The Tigers placed Finnegan on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 1, with a right adductor strain, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. Finnegan suffered the injury while warming up in the bullpen Wednesday, and he'll require a stint on the injured list. Finnegan hasn't allowed a run since being traded from the Nationals to the Tigers, logging a 19:3 K:BB across 14.1 innings. Tommy Kahnle and Tyler Holton should serve in a setup role for closer Will Vest. Parker Meadows (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
