Hit with first blown save 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.

Impact 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 now recorded at least one strikeout in three straight outings.

Converts third save Tinoco struck out one without allowing a baserunner over 1.2 innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Twins.

Impact 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.

Earns save Friday Tinoco threw a perfect inning and picked up a save against Atlanta on Friday.

Impact 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.

Grabs second career save 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Claimed by Marlins The Marlins claimed Tinoco off waivers from the Cubs on Tuesday.

Impact 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.

Loses roster spot Tinoco was outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

Impact The Rangers made a flurry of moves Thursday, primarily activating players from the 60-day injured list. In turn, they had to open spots on the 40-man roster, and Tinoco was one of the casualties. He spent most of the season at Round Rock in 2022, though he managed a 2.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB across 20.2 innings while pitching out of the bullpen with the Rangers.

Serving as opener Tuesday Tinoco will start Tuesday's game against the Mariners, likely serving as an opener for the contest.

Impact Tinoco has quickly emerged as a valuable reliever for the Rangers after being called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Sept. 1, as he's yet to allow a run while scattering five hits and five walks over 10 innings. Though he'll be picking up his first career MLB start Tuesday, Tinoco likely won't work deep into the contest, given that he hasn't recorded more than seven outs in any of his appearances in the majors or minors this season. Tyson Miller is scheduled to be called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday and could be a candidate to serve as a bulk reliever behind Tinoco.

Sent down Sunday Tinoco was returned to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Impact 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.

Impresses in loss Tinoco walked one and struck out one over 2.1 innings in Wednesday's 9-2 loss to the Astros.

Impact Tinoco 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 the right-hander in four appearances (4.1 IP) since being called up last week when two players were placed on the COVID-19 list. At Triple-A Round Rock, Tinoco posted a 2.42 ERA with as many saves (six) as runs allowed over 22.1 innings.
