Tigers placed RHP Kyle Finnegan on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to September 16, with left groin inflammation.

That will end the veteran right-hander’s season. Finnegan has been an unmitigated disaster for the past two months, posting a 10.20 ERA and a 2.40 WHIP over 15 innings in 19 appearances dating back to July 25. That’s certainly going to hurt him when exploring the free agent market over the winter.
