DYLAN FLORO NEWS

Released by Athletics The Athletics released Floro on Monday.

Impact Floro has struggled this season at Triple-A Las Vegas, posting a 7.04 ERA and 12:5 K:BB over 15.1 innings. The 34-year-old held a 3.80 ERA and 48:17 K:BB across 68.2 frames in 2024 between the Nationals and Diamondbacks and should get another chance elsewhere, but he'll likely have to spend more time in the minors first.

Misses out on Opening Day roster The Athletics reassigned Floro to minor-league camp Monday.

Impact Floro was a free agent for most of the offseason before coming to an agreement on a minor-league contract with the Athletics in late February. Though he's an experienced reliever who made 66 appearances at the big-league level between the Nationals and Diamondbacks in 2024, Floro never made a serious run at a spot in the Athletics' Opening Day bullpen. Floro didn't make any appearances in the Cactus League, though manager Mark Kotsay had previously suggested that the right-hander's absence from the pitching schedule wasn't the result of any injury. Instead, Floro may have just been behind schedule in his throwing progression and was in need of an extended ramp-up period, so the Athletics could have him open the season at Triple-A Las Vegas and evaluate him for a promotion to the big leagues once he gets a few appearances under his belt.

Not ready to face hitters Manager Mark Kotsay said Friday that Floro doesn't feel like he's ready to face hitters yet, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Floro being behind schedule in camp doesn't seem to stem from any injury. Instead, it's likely a consequence of not signing a minor-league deal with the A's until last week. The 34-year-old righty will continue to throw bullpens for the time being, and there's no telling how far away he is from getting into some Cactus League games.

Latches on with Sacramento The Athletics signed Floro to a contract Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's unclear whether it's a major- or minor-league deal, but Floro already has a locker at the Athletics' spring training complex in Arizona. The veteran reliever had a 2.06 ERA and 40:13 K:BB over 52.1 innings for Washington last season before struggling after a trade to Arizona, where he held a 9.37 ERA in 15 appearances before being released. Floro could fill a middle relief role in Sacramento.

Released by Arizona The Diamondbacks released Floro on Tuesday.

Impact Floro was removed from the 40-man roster Sunday and is now a free agent after passing through waivers unclaimed. The veteran reliever held a 9.37 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB over 16.1 innings with the Diamondbacks after being acquired at the trade deadline.

DFA'd by Arizona The Diamondbacks designated Floro for assignment Sunday.

Impact The right-hander was acquired from the Nationals at the summer trade deadline, but he struggled to a 9.37 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB over 16.1 innings with the Diamondbacks. Floro could elect to become a free agent if he passes through waivers unclaimed, but he won't be eligible for the playoffs with a new team.

Snagged by Snakes Floro was traded from the Nationals to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday in exchange for Andres Chaparro, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The 33-year-old righty had a 2.06 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 52.1 innings with the Nationals. While Floro has 32 career saves, he should assume a mid-leverage role with his new team.

Stuck with loss Sunday Floro (3-3) took the loss Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing a solo home run over 1.1 innings. He struck out one without walking a batter.

Impact The veteran right-hander got the final out of the seventh inning and worked a 1-2-3 eighth, but when manager Dave Martinez asked Floro to come back out for the ninth in a 3-3 tie, he served up a walk-off blast to Paul Goldschmidt. It's the first homer Floro has served up all year, and he's on track for one of the best seasons of his career with a 2.06 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB through 52.1 innings. That could earn the pending free agent a trade to a contender at the deadline, but if he stays put and Kyle Finnegan gets dealt instead, Floro might get a chance to close for Washington down the stretch.

Notches sixth hold Floro worked a scoreless two-thirds of an inning Wednesday to record his sixth hold of the season in a win over Atlanta.

Impact The veteran right-hander saw a 20-appearance scoreless streak end May 26 against the Mariners, but Floro has overall been a key part of the Nationals' bullpen this season. Through 27 innings, he sports a 1.00 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB, and he's been the team's most reliable reliever behind the high-leverage duo of Kyle Finnegan and Hunter Harvey.

Makes spring debut Floro (shoulder) gave up one earned run on two hits over one inning of relief Saturday in the Nationals' 8-5 loss to the Cardinals in Grapefruit League play.

Impact Floro was finally cleared to make his spring debut Saturday after he was shut down in late February shortly after reporting to camp when he experienced shoulder tightness. He was able to resume throwing a few days later, and after checking out fine during a recent live batting practice session, Floro received the green light to pitch in games. Floro will likely need only a few more Grapefruit League appearances to get himself ready for Opening Day, when he's expected to fill a middle-innings role out of the Washington bullpen.

Cut loose by Minnesota The Twins released Floro on Sept. 29.

Impact Floro was able to get a head start on his offseason after he went unclaimed off waivers when the Twins designated him for assignment Sept. 26. Between stops with Miami and Minnesota in 2023, Floro notched seven saves, nine holds and five wins and struck out more than a batter per inning, but he also accrued an underwhelming 4.76 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 62 appearances.
