The Detroit Tigers acquired Kyle Finnegan from Washington for two prospects, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press just hours before Thursday's trade deadline.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers have acquired right-handed pitcher Chris Paddack from the Minnesota Twins three days before the MLB trade deadline. Paddack will join the Tigers’ rotation and start Wednesday’s game at Comerica Park against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

As the Tigers thrive atop the AL Central, the Minnesota Twins sit on the outside looking in in terms of the postseason, a Wild Card spot still likely should they catch fire in the second half of the season, but those chances are looking slim as of now.
