The Miami Marlins selected Kinley in the 16th round of the 2013 MLB draft.[1] He was limited by injuries during his time with the Marlins organization.[2] After he signed with the Marlins, he spent the rest of the 2013 season with both the Gulf Coast Marlins of the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League and the Batavia Muckdogs of the Class A-Short Season New York-Penn League, pitching to a combined 0–1 win–loss record and 7.07 earned run average (ERA) in 14 innings pitched. He spent the 2014 season with the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the Class A South Atlantic League, compiling a 3–1 record and 2.70 ERA in 28 relief appearances. In 2015, Kinley played for the Jupiter Hammerheads of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League, pitching to a 1–3 record and 3.25 ERA in 44+13 innings.[3]

In 2016, Kinley began the season with the Jacksonville Suns of the Class AA Southern League, where he pitched to a 3.96 ERA with 51 strikeouts in 50 innings.[3][4] He was then promoted to the New Orleans Zephyrs of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League, but struggled in eight appearances.[3][4] Kinley began the 2017 season Jacksonville, but pitched to a 5.19 ERA with the Jumbo Shrimp in 27 games. He was demoted to the Jupiter, where he had a 1.98 ERA.[3][4][5] Through the end of the 2017 season, Kinley had recorded 212 strikeouts in 204+13 innings pitched in his minor league career.[4]

After the 2017 season, the Marlins opted not to protect Kinley on their 40-man roster. Kinley then pitched for the Tigres del Licey of the Dominican Winter League, where he had a 0.47 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 19 innings pitched. The Minnesota Twins selected him from the Marlins organization in the 2017 Rule 5 draft.[6][7]

Kinley made the Twins' 2018 Opening Day 25-man roster.[8] He allowed nine earned runs on nine hits, including two home runs with four strikeouts and four walksin3+13 innings pitched for a 24.30 ERA before he was designated for assignment on April 26.[9]

On December 9, 2019, Kinley was claimed off waivers by the Colorado Rockies from Miami.[12] In 2020 with the Rockies, Kinley recorded a 5.32 ERA with a 9.9 K/9 in 23+23 innings pitched in 24 appearances.[13] In 2021, Kinley pitched in a career-high 70 games for Colorado, posting a 3-2 record and 4.73 ERA with 68 strikeouts in 70.1 innings of work.

On November 18, 2022, Kinley signed a three-year contract extension with a club option for 2026 with the Rockies.[16] On August 1, 2023, Kinley was activated from the injured list to make his return from the previous year's injury.[17]
