Faces hitters Floro (shoulder) threw a 16-pitch simulated game Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Floro is scheduled to throw another simulated game at extended spring training Wednesday. If all goes well, the 31-year-old could head out on a minor-league rehab assignment and potentially return from the 10-day injured list before the end of the month. Before developing tendinitis in his right shoulder, Floro was viewed as a potential closing candidate, but the Marlins may prefer to ease him back in as a setup man once healthy. Anthony Bender has served as the Marlins' primary closer thus far, recording two saves in three chances and giving up two runs over 3.1 innings.

Tosses another bullpen Floro (shoulder) threw a bullpen session prior to Thursday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The right-hander appears to be fully recovered from his bout of tendinitis, and is focused on building up his arm strength after missing the last part of spring training. "I think he's on the build train," manager Don Mattingly said after the session. "He threw another bullpen today. I know he's feeling good physically. Now, we've just got to build him up and get some arm strength in there." When he gets activated from the injured list, Floro should slot back into a high-leverage role and potentially even bump Anthony Bender from the ninth inning.

Completes bullpen session Floro (shoulder) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Floro has been sidelined by right rotator cuff tendinitis to begin the season and has been throwing bullpen sessions for the past couple weeks. The 31-year-old may need to face live hitters, likely in a simulated game or minor-league rehab assignment, before being activated from the injured list.

Deactivated ahead of Opening Day The Marlins placed Floro (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Thursday with right rotator cuff tendinitis, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Floro's shoulder issue kept him behind the Marlins' other relievers in spring training and ultimately prevented him from making the Opening Day roster, but manager Don Mattingly said Monday that he doesn't expect the righty to be sidelined for long, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald. Floro has thrown multiple bullpen sessions in the past week, so he could soon be ready to face hitters. After that, he likely may only need a couple of minor-league rehab appearances or simulated game appearances before the Marlins feel comfortable bringing him back from the IL. Before the injury cropped up, Floro was a candidate to close for the Marlins, who are likely to take a committee approach to save situations early on during the season.

Won't be ready by Opening Day Floro (arm) continues to make progress but won't be ready to go by Opening Day, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Floro is positioned to add to his 15 career saves this season, but he won't get to add to that number right away. He's been behind schedule throughout camp due to arm soreness, and while he's scheduled for another bullpen Friday, he won't be built up in time to avoid a trip to the injured list. Anthony Bender and Anthony Bass are in the mix for the Marlins' first few save chances of the year, but it doesn't look as though Floro will miss an extended period.

Throwing light bullpens Floro (arm) threw a light bullpen this week and will toss another Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Floro is behind schedule in camp due to arm soreness, but it's encouraging to see him throwing off a mound with a week remaining until Opening Day. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will be forced to miss time to begin the regular season, but Anthony Bender and Anthony Bass are candidates to see save opportunities if Floro is sidelined.

Dealing with arm soreness Floro is dealing with arm soreness and is behind schedule, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.
Impact Floro was the presumed closer in Miami after he served in the role for the final two months of the 2021 campaign. It remains unclear whether this injury will prevent Floro from being ready for Opening Day, though he has yet to appear in any spring training games. Anthony Bender figures to earn save chances if Floro begins the season on the injured list, though Anthony Bass has picked up saves in both Seattle and Toronto in recent campaigns.

Earns save No. 14 Floro locked down his 14th save of the season Saturday against the Phillies, giving up one hit with a pair of strikeouts.
Impact Floro preserved a 3-1 lead by striking out Andrew McCutchen and J.T. Realmuto before stranding Freddy Galvis's two-out single. The 30-year-old Floro has converted 14 of 20 save opportunities in his first season as a closer, logging a 2.86 ERA and 61:25 K:BB over 63 innings. He's also recorded a career-high 11 holds.

Collects 13th save Floro struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his 13th save of the season in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Mets.
Impact The 30-year-old has been solid since taking over the closer role for the Marlins after the trade deadline, posting a 3.43 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB through 21 innings while converting 11 of 13 save chances. Assuming the team doesn't bring in a more established ninth-inning arm in the offseason, Floro will likely head into spring training next year as the favorite to retain the role, although his skill set is probably better suited to being a setup man.
