Washington Nationals relief pitcher Dylan Floro is experiencing shoulder tightness and will be sidelined for a little while, manager Dave Martinez told Andrew Golden of the Washington Post. Martinez noted that Floro typically deals with some soreness in Spring Training, so he's not too concerned. The 33-year-old inked a major league deal with Washington this offseason, just one season removed from a solid 2023 campaign in which he amassed a 2.96 FIP, 9.21 K/9, 2.70 BB/9, and 54.4 GB%. He figures to be ready ahead of Opening Day next month.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Connor Norby (side) should be able to play in a few days. He is currently dealing with some soreness in his side. Norby had a .290/.359/.483 slash line in Triple-A last season, while hitting 21 home runs and stealing 10 bases. Norby will look to make it to the majors for the first time in 2024, as he is one of Baltimore's better prospects. The Orioles have a crowded infield, though, and that could force Norby to head back to Norfolk to start the season. There's a chance Norby could get some reps in the outfield to see if he's able to handle a position change and expedite him to the MLB roster.

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Ian Gibaut will be shut down from throwing for 3-5 days because of a pronator strain. Manager David Bell stated it is "nothing serious." If that is the case for Gibaut, he shouldn't fall behind in the spring. The 30-year-old is a decent play in save+hold leagues after making 74 appearances in 2023, racking up 23 holds and three saves. He had a 3.33 ERA but a 1.28 WHIP, striking out 69 over 75 2/3 innings. Gibaut was used in a few save situations late in 2023 while the Reds were looking to clinch a playoff spot. That came about, however, cause regular closer Alexis Diaz was used in critical situations earlier in games. Gibaut was tied for second on the team in saves with Lucas Sims and Buck Farmer. He may be able to pluck a few more saves in 2024, but be weary of his 4.07 FIP.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (elbow) was put on the 60-day injured list Saturday. The move was made to clear a 40-man roster spot for the newly-signed Tim Anderson. Alcantara will miss the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in October. The recovery time for Tommy John is roughly 14 months, so Alcantara should be ready by the time spring training rolls around next season. The 28-year-old was one of the better pitchers in the game in 2021 and 2022 but took a step back last season, finishing with a 4.03 FIP and 1.21 WHIP. He also struck out batters at his lowest clip since 2019, his first full season in the majors. Coming off a down 2023 and surgery, he might fly under the radar heading into drafts next year and makes for a nice bounce-back candidate.

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Tommy Henry, who looked sharp in the team's Cactus League opener on Friday against the Colorado Rockies, focused on his hips and making his front side more sturdy in the offseason. It allows his release point to come out more consistently, and the positioning of it puts more stress on the bigger muscles in his shoulder than strain on his elbow. The 26-year-old southpaw is competing with Ryne Nelson, Slade Cecconi, Bryce Jarvis and others for the team's final starting rotation spot this spring. Henry got off to a nice start on Friday, giving up one hit while striking out three over two scoreless innings. His 2023 season ended early due to an elbow injury, but Henry is healthy now and showed great command of his pitches. Velocity isn't his thing, though, which gives him little fantasy upside as a streamer if he wins a rotation spot in Arizona.
