The 28-year-old will naturally first need to show any scouts or interested teams that he’s healthy, but Arano could be an interesting under-the-radar relief signing this winter.
The Washington Nationals placed reliever Victor Arano on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right shoulder strain. The designation is retroactive to Friday for the 27-year-old right-hander, who is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA and one save in 43 appearances this season.
The Pittsburgh Pirates should look into Washington Nationals’ reliever Victor Arano during this year’s upcoming trade deadline. Although the Pittsburgh Pirates aren’t in contention yet, they’re showing massive signs of improvement.
It hasn’t been a week since the Washington Nationals committed arguably the worst baserunning play ever seen. Now, the Nationals defense made the folly play of the week. With bases loaded, Miami Marlins left fielder Jorge Soler ripped a two-run single past the glove of Nats shortstop Dee Strange-Gordon into left field.
Maikel Franco and Víctor Arano also mdae the roster, while Will Harris and Stephen Strasburg landed on IL.
The 26-year-old Arano has been excellent in the big leagues when healthy, pitching to a combined 2.65 ERA with a 26.3 percent strikeout rate and 7.6 percent walk rate in 74 2/3 innings for the Phillies from 2017-19.
The Braves have claimed right-hander Victor Arano and outfielder Kyle Garlick off waivers.
Among the roster moves, Philly released left-hander Francisco Liriano and infielder Logan Forsythe. Meanwhile, Infielder Neil Walker will make the team's Opening Day roster.
