Floro (shoulder) threw 23 pitches in his rehab appearance with Low-A Jupiter on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was Floro's first rehab appearance. He retired the first two batters he faced prior to giving up a walk and an RBI double. Most importantly, there was no report of a setback, so Floro remains in line to make his season debut in the coming days. It's unclear whether he will serve as the Marlins' closer, though he should have a high-leverage role.

Floro (shoulder) is expected to begin his rehab assignment at Low-A Jupiter on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Floro joined the Hammerheads on Friday but won't actually start pitching until Saturday. His return is being watched closely in light of Anthony Bender blowing a save Wednesday and raising his ERA to 8.31 over 4.1 innings.

Floro (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Jupiter on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Floro threw 16 pitches in a simulated game Sunday, and he'll be cleared for game action in the minors less than a week later. It's not yet clear how many rehab appearances he'll make, but the minor-league outings should be the final step in his recovery process. The right-hander was viewed as a closing candidate prior to sustaining his shoulder injury, but the Marlins could ease him into action as a setup man once he's able to rejoin the major-league club.

Floro (shoulder) threw a 16-pitch simulated game Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Floro (shoulder) threw a bullpen session prior to Thursday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Floro (shoulder) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Marlins placed Floro (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Thursday with right rotator cuff tendinitis, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Floro (arm) continues to make progress but won't be ready to go by Opening Day, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Floro (arm) threw a light bullpen this week and will toss another Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Floro is dealing with arm soreness and is behind schedule, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.
