Floro (neck) threw a simulated game Wednesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is out with a sore neck, but is eligible to return at the end of the month -- a feat he may be able to accomplish. Floro will work primarily in low-to-mid leverage situations upon his activation.

Floro was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday due to neck inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Floro gave up a run while retiring just one batter Thursday against the Phillies, though it's unclear as to when the issue flared up. He'll be eligible to return from the shelf beginning July 29.

Floro (2-1) earned the win Wednesday after holding the Giants scoreless over two innings with no hits, no walks and a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Floro replaced Rich Hill in the second inning after he exited early with left forearm discomfort. The 28-year-old kept the Giants at bay while getting plenty of run support from his hot-hitting offense. Through 27 appearances this season, Floro owns a 2.77 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB.

Floro was credited with a hold in the Dodgers' 7-3 win over the Rays on Tuesday, giving up one hit over 1.1 innings without allowing a baserunner. He didn't record a walk or a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Floro continues to be a lights-out performer in the Dodgers' bullpen, as this latest scoreless outing lowered his ERA to a microscopic 0.44 to go along with a 0.79 WHIP in 20.1 innings. He also sports an excellent 15:2 K:BB. While he doesn't figure to see many save opportunities due to the presence of Kenley Jansen, he's establishing himself as arguably the best option as the setup man.

Floro is dealing with a sore shoulder, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Floro got hit in the shoulder during batting practice earlier in the week, which explains why he wasn't used during the team's most recent series against the Cubs. The right-hander downplayed the severity of the issue, stating that he's confident he'll be available for Friday's series opener against the Pirates.

Floro hasn't given up a run in any of his eight appearances so far this season, yielding seven hits with five strikeouts and no walks over 8.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers' bullpen has had its fair share of struggles, but Floro has stood out as an exception, as he's posted a 0.84 WHIP over his eight games. His strong pitching extends back to last season following his acquisition via trade from the Reds, as Floro has a 1.25 ERA over 36 innings as a Dodger. With Joe Kelly struggling so far in the role as the setup man for closer Kenley Jansen, Floro would make a strong case for a look in that role should he continue to post these lights-out ratios.

Floro pitched two-thirds of an inning Friday, striking out one without allowing a base runner in a 5-4 loss to Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Floro has become one of manager Dave Roberts' more-reliable right-handed relievers, posting a 1.93 ERA and 10.3 K/9 in 14 innings since coming over from Cincinnati on July 4. The 27-year-old could see his role elevated further following Kenley Jansen's placement on the disabled list Friday with an irregular heartbeat. Scott Alexander and Kenta Maeda are initially expected to share closing duties, but Floro has certainly made a case to be considered as a late-inning option should either falter in the role.

Floro was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to the majors Monday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Floro received the promotion after Ross Stripling (toe) was moved to the 10-day disabled list. Floro has made 31 appearances in the big leagues for both the Reds and Dodgers in 2018, and he's posted a solid 2.89 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with 35 strikeouts over 43.2 innings out of the bullpen, so he could certainly be utilized in mid-to-high leverage situations if needed.

Floro was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Floro was cast off the active roster in order to make room for Walker Buehler ahead of his start Wednesday. Since coming over to the Dodgers on July 4, Floro has logged a 3.68 ERA and 0.82 WHIP with eight strikeouts across 7.1 innings of relief. Look for him to return to the big leagues in the near future once the club requires a fresh bullpen arm.

Floro was traded from the Reds to the Dodgers on Wednesday along with minor-league pitcher Zach Neal and international signing bonus pool space in exchange for minor-league pitchers James Marinan and Aneurys Zabala.

EDGE Analysis

Floro had been a capable performer for the Reds in long relief this season, posting a 2.72 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 36.1 innings. A 6.7 K/9 limits Floro's fantasy appeal even as a ratio stabilizer in NL-only or deeper mixed formats, but his 56.8 percent groundball rate should at least help him enjoy decent results out of the bullpen as he heads to Los Angeles.
