Dylan Floro's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Arizona Diamondbacks released right-handed reliever Dylan Floro earlier this week. Floro has been released after passing through waivers unclaimed after the D-backs designated him for assignment on Sunday. The 33-year-old veteran began the year with the Washington Nationals and ended up making only 15 appearances in relief for Arizona. In his 16 1/3 innings for the Snakes, he was way too hittable, allowing 17 earned runs on 23 hits (four homers) while walking four and striking out only eight. Overall this year, he has posted a 3.80 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP and a 48:17 K:BB in his 68 2/3 innings out of the bullpen for the Nats and D-backs. Arizona acquired Floro at the trade deadline in late July from the Nationals, but he didn't work out as a relief arm for them. In Floro's nine-year MLB career, he has a 3.49 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP and 32 saves in 402 2/3 innings pitched.

The Arizona Diamondbacks keep adding pieces to an already-loaded bullpen. After pulling off a trade with Miami last week to acquire setup man A.J. Puk, Arizona made another splash right before the trade window closed, bringing in veteran reliever Dylan Floro from the Washington Nationals. In exchange for Floro, the D-Backs sent minor-league infielder Andres Chaparro back to the Nation's Capital. The 33-year-old right-hander has been rejuvenated during his first year in Washington, appearing in 51 games while pitching to a 2.06 ERA with 40 strikeouts. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Floro to see any save situations; he has zero saves all year; however, going from the fourth-place Nats to an Arizona team that's only a half-game out of the third NL Wild Card spot should create more opportunities for holds in leagues that count them.

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.
