Dylan Floro News
Miami Marlins pitcher Dylan Floro (shoulder) threw 23 pitches in his rehab appearance with Low-A Jupiter on Saturday. The 31-year-old dealt with right rotator cuff tendinitis delaying his 2022 season debut. Barring any setbacks, Floro could return to action next week. It remains to be seen if the right-hander will handle closing duties once he returns. Anthony Bender is Miami's primary closer and has had a rough start to the year, converting 3-of-5 saves while posting an 8.31 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, and a 3:2 K: BB across 4 1/3 innings. Fantasy managers should stash Floro in all leagues as he is expected to have a significant role in the bullpen once activated from the injured list.
Miami Marlins pitcher Dylan Floro (shoulder) threw a 16-pitch simulated game Sunday. He is scheduled to throw another simulated game at extended Spring Training on Wednesday. In late March, the 31-year-old dealt with arm soreness, then was diagnosed with right rotator cuff tendinitis. Floro is a few weeks away from returning from the injured list, and it remains to be seen if the right-hander will handle closing duties when he returns. Anthony Bender is Miami's primary closer, converting 2-of-3 save chances with a 5.40 ERA and 1:1 K: BB over 3 1/3 innings in 2022. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Floro in most league formats as he was initially projected as the favorite to open the year as the Marlins' closer.
Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro (shoulder) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session at Miami's LoanDepot Park on Thursday. The 31-year-old began experiencing arm soreness in late March, then was diagnosed with right rotator cuff tendinitis. He's still probably at least a few weeks away from returning to the team as he still needs to face live batters and go on a rehab assignment in the minors. Floro was projected as the favorite to open the year as the Marlins' closer. For now, Anthony Bender appears to be the top candidate for saves on the team. He's the only reliever in the bullpen with a save thus far. Floro could take back closing duties when he returns, or we could see a committee type of situation.

A longtime setup man for the Dodgers, Miami Marlins pitcher Dylan Floro got his first crack at the ninth inning last season with Miami, notching 15 saves in 21 chances while posting a 2.81 ERA. However, he's been behind schedule throughout camp due to arm soreness and won't be ready by Opening Day. The Marlins recently traded for Baltimore Orioles closer Cole Sulser, further complicating the closer situation in Miami. Six-blown saves are less than ideal, but Floro has been a reliable righty reliever over the last few years, posting an ERA of 2.81 or better in three of his previous four seasons. With an average fastball velocity of 93.7 MPH, Floro doesn't possess the electric stuff we typically expect from closers and profiles as more of a groundball specialist than a strikeout pitcher. His 21% strikeout rate would be underwhelming as a starter, but it's exceptionally low for a late-game reliever. He makes up for it by suppressing power and keeping the ball on the ground. For his career, the 31-year-old has a 52.5% groundball rate and 0.48 HR/9 rate, two skills that benefit someone trying to lock down saves. Floro is a low-end potential closer, but with a current NFBC ADP of 248, one can't be too picky about underlying skills. However, Floro is behind schedule in his recovery from arm soreness, and the addition of Sulser makes him a risky pick at his current ADP.
