Jun 16 2025Tinoco (forearm) resumed a throwing program Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco has missed much of June with a right forearm strain but has been cleared to play catch. The right-handed reliever will likely require a rehab assignment before being activated from the 15-day injured list.
Jun 6 2025The Marlins placed Tinoco on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right forearm strain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco didn't strike out a single batted over his last five appearances and had been deployed in low-leverage situations lately, so it's possible he's been hurt for a while. Per Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com, an MRI on Tinoco's forearm didn't reveal any structural damage, but it's not clear how long he might be shelved.
May 27 2025Tinoco gave up one hit in 1.1 scoreless innings to record his fourth hold of the season during Monday's extra-innings loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While it was an effective performance that saw Tinoco fire 13 of 17 pitches for strikes, the right-hander was a long way from closing duties as he entered the game to get the final out of the sixth inning. Tinoco has blown two of his last four saves chances while staggering to an 8.68 ERA in 9.1 innings over his last 10 appearances, and Ronny Henriquez -- who picked up his first career save Sunday -- appears to have emerged as the Marlins' top high-leverage arm.
May 14 2025Tinoco picked up the save in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Cubs, throwing a perfect ninth inning with one strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco blew a save Tuesday night, but he retook the mound Wednesday for the ninth frame with the Marlins leading 3-1 and fired a perfect inning. He retired Carson Kelly, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nico Hoerner in order. In 14 appearances, Tinoco has a 4.61 ERA and a 9:6 K:BB over 13.2 innings.
May 10 2025Tinoco earned the save in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox after tossing a scoreless ninth inning. He did not allow a hit or walk, nor did he record a strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Calvin Faucher dispatched for the seventh inning, Tinoco got the call for the ninth to preserve the Marlins' two-run lead. Despite facing the heart of the White Sox's lineup, Tinoco needed just 10 pitches (eight strikes) to get through the frame, finishing things off by getting Joshua Palacios to ground out. Tinoco is up to three saves on the season with a 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 8:5 across 12.1 innings.
Apr 21 2025Tinoco threw a perfect inning and earned a save against the Reds on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco had no trouble retiring Cincinnati's 7-8-9 hitters in order to close out the 6-3 victory. He threw nine of 11 pitches for strikes to earn his second save in as many days. Tinoco has delivered four straight scoreless innings after coughing up two runs April 12 in his first appearance after a stint on the injured list.
Apr 12 2025The Marlins reinstated Tinoco (back) from the 15-day injured list Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After picking up the Opening Day win against the Pirates, Tinoco was placed on the 15-day IL on March 30 due to a left lower-back strain. He began throwing off a mound in late April, and the 28-year-old right-hander has progressed enough in his recovery to return to the big club. Tinico appeared in 32 regular-season games between the Rangers, Cubs and Marlins in 2024 and logged a 3.32 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, three saves and a 42:12 K:BB across 40.2 innings.
Apr 4 2025Tinoco (back) threw a bullpen session Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A back strain sent Tinoco to the injured list Sunday, but he is now back to throwing off a mound just a few days later. His progress is a good sign that he may be able to return when eligible April 12, though the Marlins haven't committed to that date just yet.
Mar 30 2025Miami placed Tinoco on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a lower-back strain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander picked up the win Opening Day with a scoreless frame. He'll be unavailable for at least the next couple weeks due to the back issue, but it's unclear how long Tinoco might be sidelined. Calvin Faucher remains the favorite to see ninth-inning work for the Marlins.
Mar 27 2025Tinoco (1-0) was credited with the win for Thursday's game against Pittsburgh. He allowed one one walk and one hit while striking out a batter across one scoreless frame. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old right-hander was called from the bullpen for the top of the ninth inning, and after giving up a double and walk to Tommy Pham and Bryan Reynolds, respectively, Tinoco managed to escape the frame by striking out Joey Bart. It's worth noting that Tinoco got the call in a high-leverage situation over Calvin Faucher, with the duo battling for the top closer job in spring training. Tinoco tossed 26 pitches in his one inning of work, which could limit his availability Friday.
Mar 21 2025Tinoco gave up four runs on four hits, including two home runs, in one inning during Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old right-hander is projected to split closing duties with Calvin Faucher to begin the season, but Tinoco did himself no favors with Thursday's outing as the long balls didn't exactly come against Houston's most dangerous bats -- Jake Meyers and Zack Short did the honors in the seventh inning. Tinoco has a rough 9.72 ERA and 7:5 K:BB through 8.1 Grapefruit League innings, but Faucher hasn't been much better this spring with an 8.10 ERA and 6:4 K:BB through 6.2 frames. The Marlins' closing picture could remain muddled well into the summer.
Mar 17 2025Tinoco gave up a hit and struck out one in 1.1 scoreless innings during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old right-hander fired 16 of 25 pitches for strikes as he gets ready to handle a high-leverage role in the Marlins' bullpen. Calvin Faucher appears to be first in line for save chances, but Tinoco could see ninth-inning work as well after posting a 3.32 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB through 40.2 big-league innings last season and converting three of four save chances in September as Miami's closer.
Feb 5 2025Tinoco will compete with Calvin Faucher for the Marlins' closer job this spring, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher took over the job last August and proceeded to convert six straight save chances before blowing one against the Nationals on Sept. 4 and subsequently landing on the IL with a shoulder impingement that ended his season. In his absence, Tinoco got a look in the ninth inning and performed fairly well, going 3-for-4 in his September save chances with a 2.61 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB over 10.1 innings. Faucher will likely get the first chance to secure the role, but if he stumbles early, Tinoco figures to be the next man up once again. Southpaw Andrew Nardi (elbow) could also be in the saves mix if he shows that he's healthy and can regain his 2023 form.
Sep 27 2024Tinoco was charged with a blown save in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Twins, allowing one run on three hits and one walk over 1.2 innings while striking out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco took over for Anthony Bender with one out and a man on first in the bottom of the eighth and coughed up back-to-back hits to allow two runners to come home, tying the game at 4-4. He was then able to get through the frame without sustaining any further damage before pitching a scoreless ninth. It marked the right-hander's first blown save this season after converting his previous three opportunities this month. It also marked the second time in his last five appearances that he allowed three hits and at least one run. On a positive note, Tinoco has recorded at least one strikeout in three straight outings.
Sep 24 2024Tinoco struck out one without allowing a baserunner over 1.2 innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Anthony Bender left two on with one out in the eighth inning, but Tinoco avoided trouble in that frame. Tinoco also tossed a perfect ninth and has now gone 3.2 innings without allowing a baserunner. He's earned three saves over his last five appearances, taking over the closing role since Calvin Faucher (shoulder) landed on the injured list. Tinoco has a 1.55 ERA, 0.59 WHIP and 29:4 K:BB over 25 innings with the Marlins, an improvement on his 3.23 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 41:11 K:BB through 39 innings for the year, which includes time with the Rangers and the Cubs.
Sep 20 2024Tinoco threw a perfect inning and picked up a save against Atlanta on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco needed just eight pitches (six strikes) to retire Atlanta's 9-1-2 hitters and close out the 4-3 win. It was his second save of the season and both have come during his last three appearances. Tinoco dropped his season ERA to 3.47 with a 39:11 K:BB through 36.1 innings.
Sep 12 2024Tinoco got the save in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Nationals. He pitched two innings without allowing a run or a hit and striking out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco entered the game in the eighth inning with a two-run lead and proceeded to retire all six hitters he faced to record his first save since 2019, when he was a member of the Rockies. Tinoco is pitching for his third team this season but seems to have found a home in Miami. Tinoco has a 1.33 ERA and 0.54 WHIP in 20.1 innings since joining the Marlins. The 29-year-old has a chance at being the closer for the Marlins down the stretch after Calvin Faucher (shoulder) landed on the injured list.
Sep 9 2024Tinoco has turned in a 1.47 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 24:4 K:BB while collecting one win and five holds over 18.1 innings across 15 appearances out of the bullpen since the Marlins claimed him off waivers from the Cubs on July 30. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tabbed to fill one of the openings in the bullpen that was created by the Marlins' fire sale ahead of the trade deadline, Tinoco has arguably performed better with Miami than any of the relievers (Tanner Scott, Bryan Hoeing, A.J. Puk, Huascar Brazoban and JT Chargois) that were dealt away. A 29-year-old journeyman who owns a modest 3.82 ERA over 74 career MLB appearances, Tinoco attributes part of his newfound success in Miami to his increased usage of a slider that he revamped while pitching overseas in Japan in 2023, per Kevin Barral of FishOnFirst.com. Tinoco has quickly moved into a high-leverage role out of the Marlins bullpen, and he could now get a chance to pick up saves down the stretch after incumbent closer Calvin Faucher (shoulder) landed on the injured list Saturday. John McMillon and Anthony Bender loom as potential challengers for closing duties.
Jul 30 2024The Marlins claimed Tinoco off waivers from the Cubs on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After being DFA'd by the Cubs on Saturday, Tinoco will join a Marlins bullpen in need of extra depth following Tuesday's trade deadline. The 29-year-old righty has allowed nine earned runs in 14 innings in the majors this season, though he did not allow a run in four frames during his time with the Cubs. Braxton Garrett (forearm) was moved to the 60-day IL to clear space on the 40-man roster.
Jul 27 2024The Cubs designated Tinoco for assignment Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco was traded to the Cubs on July 16 and threw four scoreless innings in relief for Chicago, but he'll yield his spots on the active 40-man rosters to make room for the recently acquired Nate Pearson. Assuming he clears waivers, Tinoco should remain in the Cubs organization.
Jul 19 2024The Cubs selected Tinoco's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco was acquired from the Royals in a trade Tuesday and will go straight onto the major-league roster rather than report to Iowa. The 29-year-old reliever holds a career 4.58 ERA and 61:47 K:BB over 57 appearances at the major-league level. He allowed nine runs over 10 innings in a stint with the Rangers earlier this season.
Jul 16 2024The Cubs acquired Tinoco from the Royals for cash considerations Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco has a 4.58 ERA in 57 career MLB games, nine of which came with the Rangers earlier this season before being designated for assignment and getting picked up by Kansas City. The 29-year-old has a 3.81 ERA and 34:10 K:BB in 20 appearances at the Triple-A level this season, and he'll start his tenure with the Cubs organization at Triple-A Iowa.
Jun 20 2024Tinoco elected free agency after being outrighted by the Rangers on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco had his contract selected May 23 but allowed nine earned runs across 10 innings and was designated for assignment Sunday. He was more effective with the Rangers in 2023, so he may be able to find a role with another club relatively quickly.
Jun 16 2024Tinoco was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Sunday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cole Winn was summoned to replace Tinoco, who will now be subjected to waivers. Tinoco did himself no favors with multiple walks in each of his final three appearances before this move. The 29-year-old righty has posted a 4.58 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in 76.2 career innings over parts of five big-league seasons.
May 23 2024The Rangers selected Tinoco's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco, 29, has posted a 3.80 ERA and 27:10 K:BB over 21.1 innings this season with Round Rock. The reliever hasn't appeared in a game at the major-league level since 2022, when he collected a 2.18 ERA in 17 appearances with Texas.
Oct 4 2022Tinoco will start Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco covered a scoreless frame Monday against New York and will serve as an opener in the nightcap of Tuesday's twin bill. The right-hander has a 1.83 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB across 19.2 innings this year and shouldn't be expected to record more than a handful of outs.
Sep 26 2022Tinoco will start Tuesday's game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco has been one of the Rangers' most valuable assets out of the bullpen this season, boasting a 1.72 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 15.2 innings. Tuesday will mark the first major-league start of Tinoco's career, and it will be his first professional start since 2021 when he started two games in Triple-A Albuquerque.
Sep 1 2022The Rangers selected Tinoco's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll be making his return to the big leagues for the first time since June, when he joined the Rangers as a COVID-19 replacement. The 27-year-old right-hander made five relief appearances during that previous stint with Texas, logging a 4.76 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB across 5.2 innings.
Jun 19 2022Tinoco was returned to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco was added to the Rangers' active roster June 10, and he made five relief appearances during his stint with the major-league club. He posted a 4.76 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in 5.2 innings but will head back to the minors since big-league teams need to reduce the number of pitchers on their active rosters by Monday.
Jun 16 2022Tinoco walked one and struck out one over 2.1 innings during Wednesday's 9-2 loss to the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was forced to enter the game early when starter Tyson Miller was knocked around for six runs in two-thirds of an inning. The walk was the first batter to reach base safely off Tinoco in four appearances (4.1 IP) since being called up last week. At Triple-A Round Rock, Tinoco posted a 2.42 ERA with as many saves (six) as runs allowed over 22.1 innings.
Jun 10 2022Tinoco joined the Rangers' active roster Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco and Tyson Miller joined the team as replacement players after Mitch Garver and Glenn Otto landed on the COVID-19 injured list. Tinoco owns a career 4.89 ERA and 34:30 K:BB in 46 major-league innings, so he's likely to be limited to low-leverage work.
Jul 29 2021Tinoco was returned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco's contract was selected by the Rockies on Wednesday, and he allowed five runs on five hits and a walk in 1.1 innings during his season debut against the Angels. His removal from the active roster will make room for right-handers Ashton Goudeau and Jose Mujica in the bullpen.
Jul 28 2021Tinoco had his contract selected by the Rockies on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco lost his spot on the 40-man roster during the offseason, but he'll receive another major-league opportunity. The 26-year-old hasn't pitched well at Triple-A Albuquerque this season with a 7.75 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and 31:18 K:BB over 33.2 frames.
Nov 20 2020Tinoco was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco spent time with the Marlins and Rockies in 2020, but he'll now be removed from Colorado's 40-man roster. Several prospects had their contracts selected in corresponding moves in order to protect them from the Rule 5 draft. Tinoco posted a 1.04 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 8.2 relief innings last year.
Sep 26 2020Tinoco was optioned to the alternate training site after Friday's doubleheader against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old served as the 29th man for the twin bill and returns to the alternate site after allowing one run on one hit with two strikeouts and two walks over 1.1 innings during Game 2. Tinoco could rejoin the big-league roster for Sunday's season finale, but he'll likely finish the 2020 campaign with a 1.04 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 6:7 K:BB over 8.2 innings.
Sep 25 2020Tinoco was recalled from alternate training site for Friday's doubleheader against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old was sent to the alternate site last weekend but will rejoin the big-league roster as the 29th man for Friday's doubleheader. Tinoco has appeared in five games this season has allowed only two hits with a 4:5 K:BB over 7.1 scoreless innings.
Sep 19 2020Tinoco was optioned off the Rockies' roster Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco's latest stint on the big-league roster lasted just two days. He pitched on both of those days, throwing 2.1 scoreless innings, giving him 7.1 scoreless frames on the year. Antonio Santos was recalled in a corresponding move.
Sep 17 2020Tinoco was recalled by the Rockies on Thursday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco was claimed off waivers by the Rockies at the beginning of September, and he'll be in line to make his organizational debut out of the bullpen. The right-hander was effective over a limited sample with the Marlins this season, tossing five scoreless innings while allowing no hits and three walks while striking out three. However, he should play a low-leverage role for the Rockies.
Aug 30 2020Tinoco was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's a tough break for Tinoco, as he had yet to allow a run through five innings this season. Sandy Alcantara was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move.
Aug 24 2020Tinoco was recalled from the Marlins' alternate training site Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tinoco served as the 29th man for Saturday's doubleheader, but he'll now rejoin the major-league bullpen as part of a string of transactions made by the Marlins. The right-hander tossed two scoreless innings Saturday against the Nationals, allowing no hits and one walk while striking out two.
Aug 23 2020Tinoco was optioned to the alternate training site after Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old served as the 29th man for the doubleheader and delivered two scoreless innings during his season debut. Tinoco could rejoin the Marlins later this season, but for now he'll head back to the alternate site after the brief trip to the majors.
Sep 14 2019Tinoco pitched 1.1 innings, allowing a walk and striking out one while earning the save in Saturday's 11-10 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the first major-league save for Tinoco, who managed to stop the bleeding thanks to Travis Jankowski getting caught stealing to end the eighth inning. Tinoco walked Josh Naylor in the ninth, but the reliever was never in danger, inducing a double play to finish the game. In 20 appearances this year, the right-hander has posted a 4.78 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 32 innings. Saturday marked his first scoreless outing since Aug. 28.
Aug 4 2019The Rockies recalled Tinoco from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Jul 15 2019Tinoco allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out one over 2.2 innings in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Giants.
