A 29-year-old righty, Tinoco has pitched in parts of five MLB campaigns. Tinoco had a rough go during his nine appearances with Texas, surrendering nine runs across 10 innings.
Tinoco owns a 4.58 ERA in 76 2/3 big league frames, with a career 18.1% strikeout rate while walking 14% of opponents. He had a solid 2.83 mark in Japan's NPB last season.
The Royals' bullpen needs upgrading, with GM J.J. Picollo highlighting it as a deadline priority. Tinoco might not impact this immediately but could provide a path back to the big leagues.
