Tinoco signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Tinoco held a 2.18 ERA and 18:10 K:BB over 20.2 innings for the Rangers in 2022 before heading overseas in 2023 to pitch for the Seibu Lions of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball. The 28-year-old seems likely to begin 2024 at Triple-A Round Rock.

Rangers' Jesus Tinoco: Loses roster spot
Rotowire
Tinoco was outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.
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.

Rangers' Jesus Tinoco: Starting nightcap
Rotowire
Tinoco will start Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
Tinoco covered a scoreless frame Monday against New York and will serve as an opener in the nightcap of Tuesday's twin bill. The right-hander has a 1.83 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB across 19.2 innings this year and shouldn't be expected to record more than a handful of outs.

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

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

The walk was the first batter to reach base safely off Tinoco in four appearances (4.1 IP) since being called up last week. At Triple-A Round Rock, Tinoco posted a 2.42 ERA with as many saves (six) as runs allowed over 22.1 innings.

Rangers' Jesus Tinoco: Joins big-league roster
Rotowire
Tinoco joined the Rangers' active roster Friday.
Tinoco and Tyson Miller joined the team as replacement players after Mitch Garver and Glenn Otto landed on the COVID-19 injured list. Tinoco owns a career 4.89 ERA and 34:30 K:BB in 46 major-league innings, so he's likely to be limited to low-leverage work.

Rockies' Jesus Tinoco: Gets outrighted
Rotowire
The Rockies outrighted Tinoco to Triple-A Albuquerque after he cleared waivers Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Tinoco was exposed to waivers after Colorado cast him off the 40-man roster Friday. The 25-year-old will remain in the organization as a depth arm in the Pacific Coast League, but his lack of a 40-man spot creates an obstacle for him in working his way back on to the big-league roster.

Rockies' Jesus Tinoco: Recalled by Colorado
Rotowire
Tinoco was recalled by the Rockies on Thursday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Tinoco was claimed off waivers by the Rockies at the beginning of September, and he'll be in line to make his organizational debut out of the bullpen. The right-hander was effective over a limited sample with the Marlins this season, tossing five scoreless innings while allowing no hits and three walks while striking out three.

Rockies' Jesus Tinoco: Not on 30-man roster
Rotowire
Tinoco did not make the Rockies' 30-man roster.
After finishing last season in the major-league bullpen, Tinoco was in consideration for a roster spot during camp. However, he'll begin the season at the alternate training site instead. Although the right-hander isn't on the Rockies' taxi squad, he could be on the short list as a fill-in option in the bullpen if injuries occur. Tinoco made 24 appearances with the Rockies last year, logging one save while posting a 4.75 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over 36 innings.

Rockies' Jesus Tinoco: Collects first career save
Rotowire
Tinoco pitched 1.1 innings, allowing a walk and striking out one while earning the save in Saturday's 11-10 win over the Padres.
It's the first major-league save for Tinoco, who managed to stop the bleeding thanks to Travis Jankowski getting caught stealing to end the eighth inning. Tinoco walked Josh Naylor in the ninth, but the reliever was never in danger, inducing a double play to finish the game. In 20 appearances this year, the right-hander has posted a 4.78 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 32 innings. Saturday marked his first scoreless outing since Aug. 28.
