Floro picked up the save Monday against Kansas City, recording the final two outs in a 9-6 victory.
Floro needed just two pitches to pick up the save after relieving Steven Okert, getting Bobby Witt to ground into a double play. Floro has closed out back-to-back games, improving to 7-for-9 in save opportunities this season. Floro lowered his ERA to 4.21 with a 1.25 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB through 25.2 innings this season. He'll likely return to a setup role soon, with A.J. Puk (elbow) nearing a return.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Nails down sixth save
Rotowire
Floro struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Sunday to record his sixth save of the season in a win over the A's.
While the right-hander remains prone to implosions -- he's given up three or more runs in four of his 26 appearances this season, leading to a 4.32 ERA -- Floro is a perfect 5-for-5 in converting save chances since A.J. Puk (elbow) hit the IL. Puk was able to pitch on back-to-back days Friday and Saturday on his rehab assignment, however, which the organization viewed as the final hurdle before his activation, so Floro could be returning to a setup role very shortly.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Struggles in third loss
Rotowire
Floro (3-3) took the loss in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to San Diego. He allowed five runs (three earned) on two hits and two walks without recording an out.
It was a nightmarish outing for Floro, who was called upon to keep the game tied 4-4 in the ninth. The veteran right-hander faced five batters, allowing all to reach safely, eventually departing with an 8-4 deficit. Floro has served as Miami's primary closer with A.J. Puk sidelined, going 4-for-5 in save chances with Puk on the shelf. However, Floro has struggled to a 23.14 ERA over his last four outings. With Puk beginning a rehab assignment, Floro's fantasy value appears to be waning. His ERA is up to 4.50 with a 1.33 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB through 24 innings this season.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Collects fifth save
Rotowire
Floro struck out two in 1.1 perfect innings Saturday to record his fifth save of the season in a 1-0 win over the Giants.
The right-hander completed the combined shutout after Braxton Garrett, JT Chargois and Tanner Scott held San Francisco in check for 7.2 innings. Floro is a perfect 4-for-4 in converting save chances since A.J. Puk (elbow) landed on the injured list, and on the season the Marlins' fill-in closer has a 2.49 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB through 21.2 innings.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Nabs another save
Rotowire
Floro earned a save against the Nationals on Thursday, walking one batter in a scoreless inning of work.
Floro came on in the ninth to preserve Eury Perez's first big-league win, and he succeeded in doing so despite issuing a leadoff walk. It was the third save over the past five days for Floro, who has taken over as Miami's primary closer with A.J. Puk (elbow) on the 15-day IL. Given his success since moving into the role, Floro could be trusted with additional opportunities even after Puk returns.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Notches third save
Rotowire
Floro gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his third save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Nationals.
The right-hander is now 2-for-2 in converting save chances since A.J. Puk (elbow) landed on the IL. Floro is having a typically solid season, posting a 2.79 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB through 19.1 innings, and while he's not a dominant late-inning arm, he should fill the closer role for the Marlins adequately until Puk is ready to return.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Picks up second save
Rotowire
Floro picked up the save in Sunday's 3-1 victory over the Reds, tossing a scoreless ninth in which he allowed one walk while striking out one.
Floro got the first save opportunity for the Marlins with A.J. Puk (elbow) on the 15-day injured list. The right-hander issued a two-out walk to Kevin Newman but struck out Luke Maile to end the game. Floro is now 2-for-4 in save chances this season, and he figures to get a few more over the next couple of weeks with Puk unavailable.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Earns first save
Rotowire
Floro picked up the save in Thursday's 5-4 win over Atlanta, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.
A.J. Puk, the Marlins' regular closer, pitched the eighth inning Wednesday, giving Floro the opportunity in the ninth. He responded by setting down Atlanta in order, sealing Miami's comeback victory. It was a strong bounce-back outing for Floro after he allowed four runs (three earned) in one-third of an inning Wednesday. He's now 1-for-2 in save opportunities this season with a 2.31 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB. Puk seems to have a fairly firm grasp on the closing job, though Floro appears to be the next man up.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Nabs win Wednesday
Rotowire
Floro (1-0) picked up the win in Wednesday's victory over the Twins, striking out one in a perfect eighth inning.
The score was tied 1-1 when Floro entered the game, but the Marlins piled on four runs in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander has a win and a hold in his first two appearances this season, and while he's a key part of the team's high-leverage mix, A.J. Puk appears to be the favorite for saves for now.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Used as setup man Friday
Rotowire
Floro gave up a hit in a scoreless eighth inning Friday to record his first hold of the season in a win over the Mets.
The Mets had their 8-9-1 hitters due up in the eighth, so it's noteworthy that new Marlins manager Skip Schumaker elected to use Floro in that spot and save A.J. Puk for the heart of the New York order in the ninth. Schumaker has said he intends to use a closer committee and play matchups in high-leverage spots this season. If Puk is viewed as the top arm in the Miami bullpen -- he got the save Friday, although he served up a solo shot to Pete Alonso while doing it -- it could mean Floro winds up getting more work in the seventh and eighth innings, and collecting more holds than saves.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Solid spring continues
Rotowire
Floro gave up two hits and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.
The 32-year-old had a couple shaky outings early in March but has settled down nicely since, and Floro now sports an 8:2 K:BB through 8.1 spring frames. The Marlins will deploy a closer committee to begin the season with four high-leverage arms in the mix, but Floro still seems like the team's top option from the right side ahead of Matt Barnes.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Agrees to terms with Marlins
Rotowire
Floro avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.9 million contract with the Marlins on Friday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
Floro supplanted Tanner Scott as Miami's closer late last season and finished with 10 saves, seven of which came in the final month of the campaign. He could retain that role in 2023, though it's also possible that the Marlins acquire a reliever with more overpowering stuff to work the ninth inning. Despite the fact that he doesn't post big strikeout numbers, Floro has been a solid contributor since joining Miami in 2021, racking up 25 saves and 16 holds while recording a 2.91 ERA over 117.2 relief innings.

Rotowire
Floro earned a save against Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning.
Floro entered with runners on first and third and one out in the ninth inning. He started his outing with a walk and a run-scoring single but retired the next two batters to pick up the save.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Shuts door Thursday
Rotowire
Floro picked up the save Thursday against the Brewers. He allowed one walk and no hits with one punchout in a scoreless inning.
Floro has emerged as Miami's top option in the ninth inning recently and Thursday was no exception. He entered the game up 4-2 in the ninth and worked around a walk to record his ninth save of the season. Over his last 10 appearances dating back to Sept. 9, Floro has recorded six saves while allowing just one earned run over 9.1 innings.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Nails down eighth save
Rotowire
Floro struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his eighth save of the season in a 6-4 win over the Mets.
The right-hander did his best Edwin Diaz impression as he converted his third straight save chance and fifth in six September opportunities. Floro has a 0.82 ERA, 0.36 WHIP and 11:0 K:BB through 11 innings on the month, and while he doesn't have premium stuff, when healthy he's been the Marlins' most effective reliever over the last two years.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Earns seventh save
Rotowire
Floro picked up the save in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Washington. He did not allow a baserunner while striking out one over one inning.
Floro has allowed only one run in 12 innings during his last 11 appearances and has converted on four of five save opportunities in September (the most save opportunities he's received in any month during 2022). The righty has wild home/road splits with a 1.71 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 26.1 innings at home compared to a 4.91 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 22 innings away from Miami.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Notches sixth save
Rotowire
Floro gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his sixth save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Nationals.
The right-hander dared a feeble Washington lineup to hit his pitches, firing nine of 10 for strikes, and only Victor Robles managed to dump a single into left field. Floro is having a strong September, posting a 1.00 ERA, 0.44 WHIP and 7:0 K:BB through nine innings while converting three of four save chances and adding a win, and barring a major offseason addition to the Miami bullpen, he'll likely head into 2023 as the favorite for the closer role.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Picks up fifth save
Rotowire
Floro allowed one earned run on two hits while striking out one in the ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Phillies.
Floro entered the game with a three-run lead and surrendered consecutive two-out singles to allow a run to cross the plate. That ended Floro's six-appearance scoreless streak, during which he maintained a 4:1 K:BB. He has now picked up each of Miami's last two saves -- bringing his total on the campaign to five -- and appears to be the preferred option to Tanner Scott for the closer role.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Collects fourth save
Rotowire
Floro worked a perfect ninth inning Friday without striking out a batter to record his fourth save of the season in a 6-3 win over the Mets.
Tanner Scott was brought in to begin the seventh inning in a 4-3 game, leaving closing duties for Floro when the ninth rolled around. The right-hander's been effective in the second half, posting a 2.50 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB through 18 innings since the All-Star break with a win, two saves and two holds. If Scott's control issues persist, Floro could see more save chances over the final weeks.

Marlins' Dylan Floro: Earns third save
Rotowire
Floro picked up the save Tuesday, striking out three and allowing a hit in the ninth inning of a 4-3 victory over San Diego.
Floro entered the game with a man on first and nobody out and gave up a single to the first batter he faced. He then struck out Josh Bell, Jake Cronenworth and Wil Myers to end the game. It was his first save since he closed out back-to-back games at the beginning of July. Tanner Scott had pitched in consecutive games, leading to Floro being called upon to close Tuesday.
