| December 2, 2005 Although Kyle Farnsworth appeared close to joining the Yankees yesterday, it appears that the Rangers are still in the running. However, since neither team is offering a closer role and the Yankees are unlikely to be out-bid, expect Farnsworth to end up in New York. |
| December 1, 2005 The Yankees are believed to be in position to sign Kyle Farnsworth as early as today, according to Newsday. The Yanks are reportedly discussing a three-year deal in the neighborhood of $17 million. |

| August 13, 2005 Kyle Farnsworth will serve the final game of his five-game suspension on Saturday, according to the AP. He's been throwing on the side while also having treatment for a sore back. He strained his back while shagging fly balls when the Braves were in St. Louis last week. |
| August 9, 2005 Since he was likely to sit out a few days because of a sore back, Kyle Farnsworth decided on Tuesday to drop his appeal a five-game suspension for his role in a brawl last month and begin serving it immediately, according to the AP. He will be eligible to return Sunday against Arizona. |
| July 31, 2005 The Braves acquired Kyle Farnsworth from the Tigers in exchange for Roman Colon and minor leaguer Zach Miner.

| July 21, 2005 Kyle Farnsworth was fined and suspended for six games on Thursday for his part in a bench-clearing brawl with the Royals last week, according to the AP. Farnsworth intends to appeal the suspension. |
| July 21, 2005 Tigers manager Alan Trammell indicated that Kyle Farnsworth was pitching with a stiff neck on Wednesday when he allowed three runs in the ninth inning, according to the Detroit News. Farnsworth said afterward that he is fine, so it doesn't appear to be a serious injury. |
| July 20, 2005 Kyle Farnsworth had a rough ninth inning on Wednesday and wound up pitching the Tigers into a save situation. He took the mound to start the inning with an 8-3 lead, but the White Sox made it 8-6 after Farnsworth allowed two walks and three singles while recording two outs. Craig Dingman was called upon to get the final out, which he did for his second career save. |
| July 19, 2005 With Troy Percival expected to miss the remainder of the season, Kyle Farnsworth will remain the Tigers closer for the foreseeable future. However, he may be facing a suspension for his role in Sunday's brawl with the Royals. |
| July 17, 2005 Kyle Farnsworth was among several players ejected during Sunday's bench clearing brawl between the Tigers and Royals. After the initial scuffle, Farnsworth charged Jeremy Affeldt, picked him up, and slammed him to the ground. Farnsworth will surely face a lengthy suspension. |
| July 16, 2005 Kyle Farnsworth struck out the side on Saturday to earn his third save, his second in as many days. So far, Farnsworth has been solid since replacing the injured Troy Percival as the closer for the Tigers. |
| July 15, 2005 Kyle Farnsworth will replace the injured Troy Percival as the Tigers' closer, according to the Detroit News. |
| May 6, 2005 Tigers manager Alan Trammell said Kyle Farnsworth felt better yesterday, according to the Detroit News. Trammell added that Farnsworth, who is nursing a strained biceps, should miss two days at the most. |
| May 5, 2005 Kyle Farnsworth suffered a recurrence of biceps tendinitis that he had earlier in the season while throwing the final pitch of the eighth inning on Wednesday, according to the Detroit Free Press. It's unclear how much time he will miss, but Alan Trammell doesn't expect him to be available today. |

| April 16, 2005 Kyle Farnsworth was unavailable to pitch for the Tigers on Saturday because of a strained biceps. |
| April 16, 2005 A strained biceps could sideline Kyle Farnsworth for a couple of games, according to the Detroit Free Press. |
| February 9, 2005 The Tigers acquired Kyle Farnsworth from the Cubs on Wednesday in exchange for pitcher Roberto Novoa, infielder Scott Moore and outfielder Clarence "Bo" Flowers. The hard-throwing Farnsworth was 4-5 with a 4.73 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP in 72 appearances for the Cubs last season. He'll likely slot into a setup or middle relief role in the Detroit bullpen. |
