2026 Fantasy Outlook
It was surprising that Atlanta declined Kinley's $5.5 million option for 2026, as the veteran posted an outstanding 0.72 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB over 25 innings after the team acquired him at last year's trade deadline. In total, the 34-year-old right-hander established new career-highs in games played (73), innings pitched (72.2) and strikeouts (73) while racking up six wins, three saves and 13 holds between Colorado and Atlanta. However, Atlanta did re-sign Kinley to a more team-friendly deal (one-year, $4.25 million) that includes a club option for 2027. Fresh off one of the finest seasons of his career, Kinley should maintain a high-leverage relief role for Atlanta. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $4.25 million contract with Atlanta in January of 2026. Contract includes $5.5 million team option ($1.25 million buyout) for 2027.
Collects first save of season
Kinley struck out one in a perfect 10th inning Sunday to record his first save of the season in a win over the Yankees.
Analysis
Didier Fuentes worked the eighth inning and allowed the tying run while closer Raisel Iglesias handled the ninth, leaving manager Walt Weiss to turn to Kinley after Atlanta plated a run in the top of the 10th. The right-hander got the job done, fanning former Rockies teammate Ryan McMahon to end the game. It was Kinley's 22nd career save, but his first in an Atlanta uniform since being acquired at the 2025 trade deadline. Through 41 innings over 47 appearances this season, he's produced a 3.95 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 40:18 K:BB while picking up six wins and 12 holds.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2021
2018
While Kinley's disastrous first half of 2024 (7.65 ERA, 1.75 WHIP in 40 innings) cannot be overlooked, the 33-year-old was actually serviceable for fantasy purposes after the All-Star break, posting a 3.75 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 24 frames. His overall numbers weren't pretty, but Kinley led Colorado with 12 saves and a 32.4 percent team save share. The right-hander also led Rockie relievers with 15 holds, 72 strikeouts and a 3.22 Win Probability Added. Kinley continues to ride the success of his slider (63 percent usage), but his four-seam fastball has not been effective for years. The 7-year-pro was shut down in September due to elbow inflammation, but assuming he's healthy for spring training, he'll likely head up a 2025 closer triumvirate alongside Victor Vodnik and Seth Halvorsen.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Out longer than expected?
Kinley is dealing with an elbow injury but recent MRI results were not encouraging and he could be out longer than expected, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Kinley got the results back from the MRI on Monday and the Rockies now believe he will be out longer than they initially hoped, which is a blow to the team's relief corps since he posted a 0.75 ERA across 24 innings before landing on the injured list. He'll consult a surgeon this week whose specialties include Tommy John surgery, among other areas, and while the Rockies have yet to make a decision, things do not look good for the 31-year-old right-hander.
