Ginkel allowed two runs on two hits and a walk over one inning, picking up a blown save in Monday's 6-5 win over Cincinnati. Ginkel failed to hold an eighth-inning lead for a second consecutive appearance. He's allowed runs in three of the last four outings, all since he slid back from closer to a setup role....

Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Charged with blown save
Ginkel allowed one run on one hit over one inning and was charged with a blown save in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Orioles. With the Diamondbacks ahead 4-3, Ginkel entered to start the eighth inning and dispatched the first two batters with ease before Anthony Santander squared up a fastball outside the zone for a game-tying home run. It was the third blown save of the season for Ginkel, who was moved back to a setup role when Paul Sewald was activated off the injured list last week. Ginkel has a 3.31 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with four walks and 15 strikeouts over 16.1 innings.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Sliding back to setup role
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Ginkel will go back to a setup role upon the return of Paul Sewald (oblique), Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. Lovullo wants to throw Sewald back into the closer role immediately, saying that if a save opportunity should arise Tuesday, it would go to Sewald. Ginkel filled in admirably as the temporary closer, going 5-for-7 in save chances while posting a 2.57 ERA and 14:3 K:BB over 14 innings. Certainly, it's a major hit to his fantasy value as he shifts back to being a setup man.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Locks down save Sunday
Ginkel pitched a perfect ninth in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mariners to earn his fifth save of the year. He struck out one. Ginkel made quick work of the Mariners' hitters, needing only nine pitches to get three outs. He began by striking out Jorge Polanco and got the next two batters out on weak contact to shut the door. Ginkel has stepped up well in the closer role with Paul Sewald (oblique) on the mend, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 12 innings. Sewald recently suffered a minor setback in his recovery, meaning Ginkel will have the closer job for a little while longer.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Notches fourth save
Ginkel earned a save after he pitched one inning, allowing one run on two hits while striking out a batter in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Giants. Ginkel was tasked with protecting a 5-2 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving up a run on a pair of doubles before striking out Mike Yastrzemski to end the game. The 30-year-old has now converted four out of six save opportunities this season while operating as the team's primary closer with Paul Sewald (oblique) on the shelf. Ginkel sports a 3.48 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with 11 strikeouts over 10.1 innings in 10 appearances this year.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Hit with blown save
Ginkel allowed a run on two hits in one inning Monday. He struck out one batter and blew a save chance during the loss to the Cubs. Ginkel was tasked with closing out a 2-1 lead in the ninth inning but couldn't finish things off. He eventually let the tying run score on a wild pitch and the Cubs would go on to win in 11 innings. The 30-year-old had converted three straight saves since blowing his first opportunity of the year April 5. Ginkel owns a 3.24 ERA with a 10:2 K:BB through 8.1 innings.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Records third save
Ginkel earned a save against the Cardinals on Saturday with a perfect inning of work. Ginkel needed just nine pitches (five of which were strikes) to set down the Cardinals in order in the ninth frame. Since blowing his first save opportunity of the campaign April 5 against Atlanta, Ginkel has since converted each of his past three chances. Over those three outings, the right-hander hasn't allowed a run while yielding just one hit and posting a 4:2 K:BB over three innings.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Notches second save
Ginkel gave up a hit and walked two in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his second save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Rockies. He struck out two. The right-hander made things interesting at Coors Field, loading the bases with two outs, but he got Nolan Jones to fly out to end the game. Ginkel has converted two straight saves after blowing his first chance of the season, and with Paul Sewald (oblique) still lacking a clear timeline for his return, he's getting time to settle into the closer role for Arizona. Through six appearances and 6.1 innings, Ginkel sports a 2.84 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Blows save against Atlanta
Ginkel blew the save Friday against Atlanta. He allowed two runs (one unearned) on two hits and no walks with two strikeouts over 1.1 innings. After collecting the final out in the eighth inning, Ginkel watched Austin Riley reach via a Blaze Alexander fielding error to begin the ninth, and the right-hander never recovered as Matt Olson and Jarred Kelenic hit doubles to tie up the game. This is Ginkel's second straight outing allowing a run, but he should continue to be the main saves option in the Arizona bullpen while Paul Sewald (oblique) is injured.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Likely to close while Sewald is out
Ginkel is the most likely option to close for the Diamondbacks while Paul Sewald (oblique) is sidelined, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports. Sewald could be facing a fairly lengthy absence after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 left oblique strain. While manager Torey Lovullo didn't want to name a closer in Sewald's absence, but all signs point to Ginkel getting the first crack at the job. The 30-year-old collected a 2.48 ERA and 70:23 K:BB over 65.1 frames during the regular season for Arizona last season, picking up four saves along the way. Ginkel also spun 11.2 shutout innings with a 15:5 K:BB during the postseason.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Plays catch Sunday
Manager Torey Lovullo said Ginkel (elbow) played catch Sunday with no issues, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. An elbow injury apparently cropped up in early February, but the right-hander's relatively quick return to throwing is an encouraging development. It'll probably be a little while before Ginkel is cleared for game action, but at this point Lovullo expects his setup man to be ready by Opening Day.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Battling elbow soreness
Ginkel is dealing with soreness in his right elbow, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. Manager Torey Lovullo said the issue first appeared about a week ago, but nothing alarming showed up when Ginkel went in for imaging. While the D-backs don't expect Ginkel's elbow to become an problem, they will still postpone his ramp-up process as a precaution. The 29-year-old reliever logged a 2.48 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 65.1 innings last season and figures to serve as Paul Sewald's primary setup man in 2024.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Bypassed for eighth inning
Ginkel was not used in the eighth inning of Wednesday's 3-0 win over the White Sox. Ginkel has been the go-to reliever for the eighth inning of close games, but manager Torey Lovullo went with Ryan Thompson to shepherd the lead to closer Paul Sewald. The decision to not use Ginkel could be related to the reliever's most recent outing Monday, when he told the manager he was ready to pitch after throwing 28 pitches the previous day, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. What ensued was a blown eighth-inning lead and a loss in the middle of a playoff chase. "I'll take accountability for it," Ginkel said. "I was wanting to pitch; there's no question about it. I wasn't feeling great, for sure. After [Sunday], I threw quite a few pitches, and then again [Monday]." Ginkel has been stellar over the second half -- that's why Lovullo entrusts him with the eighth inning -- and will likely continue to pitch in that role, but Thompson may have entered the picture as a trusted high-leverage arm....

Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Doesn't have it in loss
Ginkel (9-1) was tagged with a blown save and the loss against the Yankees on Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks. He struck out one. Ginkel, who had thrown 28 pitches the day before, entered to begin the eighth inning with Arizona clinging to a 4-3 lead. That's normal terrain for Ginkel, who worked the same inning Sunday and has emerged as a reliable setup arm during the second half. Unfortunately for the Diamondbacks and their playoff hunt, he didn't have it Monday. The Yankees loaded the bases on two singles and a walk with one out, before Ginkel walked in the tying run and then allowed the winning run on a sacrifice fly. An additional run was charged to him when Everson Pereira greeted Miguel Castro with a single. Ginkel had not allowed a run in eight consecutive outings and sported a 1.82 ERA since the All-Star break entering Monday.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Snags fourth save
Ginkel struck out both batters he faced to earn the save in Friday's 10-8 win over the Reds. A save situation wasn't expected to arise in Friday's game, but Justin Martinez allowed a grand slam while Arizona was ahead by six. With the game getting closer, Ginkel stepped in and stopped the bleeding to pick up his first save in a month. In that span, he recorded four wins and four holds while surrendering five runs (three earned) over 13.2 innings in a setup role ahead of Paul Sewald, who was presumably unavailable after pitching three of the last four days. Ginkel is up to four saves with a 2.19 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 53:17 K:BB over 53.1 innings this season, and he should continue to see high-leverage work.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Not available Thursday
Ginkel was unavailable to pitch Thursday when Justin Martinez picked up the save in a 3-1 win over the Padres. Ginkel and closer Paul Sewald each were unavailable after pitching four times in the last five days. Ginkel has been scored upon in only one of seven appearances in August, collecting two holds and a win with a 1.17 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB through 7.2 innings.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: May be emerging as closer
Ginkel earned a save against Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing one run on one hit and one walk over one inning. Ginkel's second save in as many days didn't come easily, as he faced the top of Atlanta's order and gave up a run on a double, a walk and a wild pitch. However, he was allowed to close out the victory despite seeing the tying run to come to the plate, which speaks to manager Torey Lovullo's trust in him. Ginkel has earned that trust with a 2.39 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB over 37.2 innings on the campaign. It may be premature to anoint him the Diamondbacks' full-time closer, but with Scott McGough having given up six runs over 1.1 frames since the All-Star break and having not recorded a save since July 1, Ginkel is likely the best Arizona bullpen option for fantasy managers chasing saves....

Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Notches first save of season
Ginkel struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his first save of the season in a 16-13 win over Atlanta. The right-hander faced the heart of the order for the NL East leaders and didn't flinch, getting Austin Riley, Matt Olson and Sean Murphy to all chase two-strike sliders. Scott McGough gave up six runs in 1.1 innings over his first two appearances after the All-Star break, so Arizona's closer role could once again be up for grabs, and Ginkel -- who has a 0.00 ERA, 0.32 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB through 12.1 innings since the beginning of June -- appears to be the next man up....

Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Notches third win
Ginkel (3-0) earned the win Sunday against the Tigers, striking out two over two hitless innings. Ginkel's now turned in five consecutive scoreless innings after allowing just one walk in two frames against the Tigers on Sunday. The 29-year-old right-hander's been solid for the Diamondbacks this season, sporting a 2.76 ERA with a 1.12 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB through 29.1 innings. Ginkel should continue to see high-leverage work in Arizona and could be in the mix for an occasional save opportunity.... See More ... See Less -
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Closes out Bucs
Ginkel allowed one walk and struck out one over a scoreless two innings in Sunday's 8-3 win over Pittsburgh. Ginkel closed out the game, pitching the eighth and ninth innings. It was the third consecutive multi-inning appearance for Ginkel, who enters games any time between the fifth and ninth innings. The right-hander, who was rocked by the Dodgers on April 1, has a 1.93 ERA over 18.2 innings since.... See More ... See Less
