Rockies add right-handed reliever Tyler Kinley to roster

SAN DIEGO — The Rockies haven’t made any major offseason moves — and aren’t expected to — but they continue tinkering with their roster.

As Monday baseball’s winter meetings opened, the Rockies claimed right-handed reliever Tyler Kinley off waivers from the Miami Marlins. To make room on their 40-man roster, they designated right-hander Joe Harvey for assignment.

“We’ve thought highly of (Kinley) for a number of years,” general manager Jeff Bridich said. “We believe in his pitch mix … there’s a power element. We believe that he’s got some good secondary pitches — a slider that can work well in our ballpark.
