2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kinley has made more than 25 appearances just twice in six seasons, as injuries have been a constant throughout his career. The right-hander opened last season on the 60-day IL after undergoing elbow surgery in July 2022. He was activated last August and struggled through seven appearances before returning to the injured list with elbow inflammation. Upon his return in September, Kinley was given the opportunity to close for the Rockies, converting a career-high five saves. His upper-90's 4-seamer wasn't effective (.500 BA, .875 SLG), so he'll need to regain some confidence in that secondary offering this spring. Assuming health entering 2024, Kinley should be in Colorado's mix to close again, but health and performance make him a risky bet for double-digit saves. Read Past Outlooks

Works as setup man
Kinley allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one across a scoreless eighth inning in Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.
ANALYSIS
Kinley pitched with a five-run lead in a setup role for Justin Lawrence. It was his second appearance of the season, with the first coming in Friday's loss to Arizona. Though the team hasn't yet had a save chance, Kinley appears more likely to be in line for holds rather than saves to begin the new year.

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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2018
Kinley is an arm to watch in the Rockies' bullpen. The ERA over 5.00 makes him easy to overlook, but Kinley can throw the heater at close to 96 mph average, and the four-seamer is not even his primary pitch. He uses his slider as the No. 1, throwing it close to 60% of the time, and that offering was dominant for him in 2020. Major leaguers combined to hit just .106 against the right-hander's breaking ball and the pitch had a whiff rate north of 40%, per Statcast. Control is a piece that's missing right now; Kinley had a 12.5 BB% last season (career 15.0%). Those walks and the home park will keep Kinley under the radar for the foreseeable future. In draft-and-hold leagues and NL-only, Kinley should be considered for a bench spot. The underlying skills portend better results and there is opportunity for advancement in Colorado.
