• Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Rounding into form

  Rotowire Mar 17, 2025

  Tinoco gave up a hit and struck out one in 1.1 scoreless innings during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals. 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.

• Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: In saves mix heading into camp

  Rotowire Feb 5, 2025

  Tinoco will compete with Calvin Faucher for the Marlins' closer job this spring, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. 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.

• Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Hit with first blown save

  Rotowire Sep 27, 2024

  Tinoco 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. 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.

• Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Earns save Friday

  Rotowire Sep 21, 2024

  Tinoco threw a perfect inning and picked up a save against Atlanta on Friday. Tinoco needed just eight pitches (six strikes) to retire Atlanta's 9-1-2 hitters and close out a 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.

• Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Grabs second career save

  Rotowire Sep 12, 2024

  Tinoco 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. Tinoco entered the game in the eighth inning with a two-run lead and proceeded to retire all six batters he faced to record his first save since 2019, when he was a member of the Rockies. The right-hander is pitching for his third team this season but seems to have found a home in Miami, as he 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 with Calvin Faucher (shoulder) and John McMillon (elbow) on the injured list.

• Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Dominating with new team

  Rotowire Sep 9, 2024

  Tinoco 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. 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.

• Cubs' Jesus Tinoco: Booted from 40-man roster

  Rotowire Jul 27, 2024

  The Cubs designated Tinoco for assignment Saturday. 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.

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 with a 2.18 ERA in 17 outings, so he may be able to find a role with another club.

• Rangers' Jesus Tinoco: Joins big-league roster

  Rotowire Jun 10, 2022

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.

• Rockies' Jesus Tinoco: Gets outrighted

  Rotowire Nov 25, 2020

  The Rockies outrighted Tinoco to Triple-A Albuquerque after he cleared waivers Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. Tinoco was exposed to waivers after Colorado cast him off the 40-man roster Friday. The 25-year-old will remain in the organization as a depth arm in the Pacific Coast League, but his lack of a 40-man spot creates an obstacle for him in working his way back on to the big-league roster.
