Kinley was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Wednesday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kinley will replace Trevor Richards -- who was traded to the Rays on Wednesday -- on the roster and in the bullpen. The 28-year-old right-hander has struck out 28 batters in 24.2 big-league innings this season, though that comes with an unsightly 5.11 ERA and 1.95 WHIP.

Kinley was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kinley made two relief appearances after being recalled Friday, allowing one run while walking four and punching out one over 1.2 innings of work. Elieser Hernandez will take Kinley's spot on the 25-man roster.

Kinley was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kinley made the Opening Day roster and had a 5.09 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 27:15 K:BB over 23 innings before being sent to New Orleans in late May. The 28-year-old should return to a low-leverage role in the bullpen for the Marlins.

Kinley was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans Monday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kinley had spent the entirety of the 2019 campaign with the Marlins, racking up a 5.09 ERA and 1.87 WHIP while striking out 27 across 23 innings of work. He pitched exclusively out of the bullpen and will need to improve on his 5.9 BB/9 to find success at the major-league level again this season.

Kinley (1-0) gave up a run on three hits in an inning of relief but still picked up the win in Thursday's come-from-behind victory over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander entered the game in the eighth inning with the Marlins down 1-0 and made things a little worse, but Garrett Cooper's grand slam in the top of the ninth bailed Kinley out and handed him his first big-league win. His 5.75 ERA and 1.92 WHIP through 20.1 innings on the year remain poor, but his 24:15 K:BB shows his potential if he can improve his control and command.

Kinley walked the only two batters he faced, with one coming around to score, in Monday's win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander had a 0.73 ERA on April 20, but everything's fallen apart for Kinley since. He's been charged with at least one run in five of his last seven appearances, posting a 22.50 ERA, 4.00 WHIP and 6:6 K:BB in only four innings over that stretch. The 28-year-old could well be the next Marlins reliever jettisoned to Triple-A New Orleans when the club needs to bring up a fresh arm.

Kinley walked two and struck out one in 1.2 scoreless innings of relief during Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander has been solid for the Marlins so far, posting a 0.96 ERA and 9:4 K:BB through 9.1 innings over eight appearances. Kinley is still in a low-leverage role -- he has just one hold -- which makes him difficult to roster even in deep NL-only formats, but if he remains effective he could work his way into Miami's set-up crew.

Kinley has secured a spot in the Miami bullpen to begin the regular season, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kinley earned his way onto the Opening Day roster after striking out 12 and giving up only three runs (two earned) over 7.2 innings. Blessed with a high-90s fastball, Kinley could have some appeal as a strikeout source and ratio stabilizer if he can maintain his improved control, which had been an issue for the righty prior to this spring.

Kinley had his contract purchased from Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kinley was taken by the Twins in this year's Rule 5 draft, though he was returned to the Marlins after allowing nine runs across 3.1 innings (24.30 ERA) with Minnesota. The 27-year-old delivered a crisp 2.93 ERA and 56:22 K:BB across 40 innings with Triple-A New Orleans upon being returned to the Marlins, and he'll now get a chance to improve upon his big-league body of work.

Kinley was returned to the Marlins on Tuesday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kinley was selected by the Twins in this year's Rule 5 draft, but he was ultimately designated for assignment and sent back to the Marlins after struggling mightily in four appearances with Minnesota (24.30 ERA across 3.1 innings). The 27-year-old will report to Triple-A New Orleans.
