Florimon was diagnosed with a broken right foot after fouling a pitch off himself during Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Matt Gelb of The Athletic Philadelphia reports. He'll be officially placed on the 10-day disabled list later Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Florimon has largely served as a utility infielder for the Phillies this season, appearing in 33 contests and slashing .263/.323/.491 over 62 plate appearances. It's unclear if Florimon will require surgery to address the fractured foot, so until the Phillies make a decision on that front, an official timetable for his recovery won't be known. In any case, Florimon will likely be in store for an extended absence, though his loss may be mitigated to some degree by the impending return of shortstop J.P. Crawford (forearm), who kicked off a rehab assignment at High-A Clearwater on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Florimon finished the first inning at-bat with a pop out, and was subsequently replaced at third base by Maikel Franco for the bottom of the inning.

Florimon is in line for a few more at-bats than usual with J.P. Crawford out two weeks with a forearm strain, The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Florimon has played very little so far this season, coming to the plate just 21 times despite being on the major-league roster since Opening Day. Scott Kingery figures to be the Phillies primary shortstop while Crawford remains out, but he's started just seven games at the position in his entire professional career. Florimon has made 205 starts at short in his major-league career and grades out as above-average there according to DRS and UZR. Still, Kingery's bat is likely to be preferred to Florimon's glove most of the time, so Florimon is unlikely to get enough playing time over the next couple weeks to have much fantasy value outside the deepest of leagues.

Florimon is the only Phillie to not be included in new manager Gabe Kapler's heavy rotation policy.

EDGE Analysis

Florimon has started just one game so far this season. Every other Phillies hitter has started at least seven times in the team's opening 17 games. That's hardly a surprise, as every other hitter on the roster is either a promising youngster or an established starter. Anyone taking a long shot on Florimon this draft season in hopes that Kapler would get him semi-regular at-bats will be disappointed to see that he's only come to the plate 12 times. Florimon's defensive versatility will remain useful for the Phillies throughout the season, but don't expect him to move from his role at the end of the bench in Philadelphia.

Florimon was added to the Phillies' 40-man roster Friday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Florimon had some small-sample success for the Phillies last season, hitting .348/.378/.478 in 49 plate appearances. That line came with a clearly unsustainable .533 BABIP, so there's little reason to believe the 31-year-old journeyman is anything different from the player who has produced a career 57 wRC+ over 791 plate appearances. Still, he's shown the ability to play in both the infield and outfield, which could be important for a Phillies team which reportedly intends to use a small bench and eight relievers. Florimon is battling fellow journeyman Adam Rosales and youngsters Jesmuel Valentin and Roman Quinn for the final spot on the Philadelphia bench.

EDGE Analysis

Sunday marks the first live action Florimon has seen since his 2017 season ended with a dislocated ankle. The 31-year-old signed a minor-league deal with the Phillies this offseason and will need to put forth a strong performance during spring training if he hopes to find himself on the team's Opening Day roster.

Florimon re-signed a minor-league deal with the Phillies on Monday, Matt Gelb of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Florimon spent most of his time in the minors last season, compiling a .265/.347/.410 line in 90 games for Triple-A Lehigh Valley before earning a promotion in August. While it was a small sample size, he held his own in the majors, slashing .348/.388/.478 in 15 games before suffering a season-ending ankle injury. The 30-year-old utility man is expected to be healthy for the start of spring training, where he should compete for a bench spot.

Florimon (ankle) cleared waivers and elected free agency.

EDGE Analysis

Rather than accept his outright assignment to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Florimon decided to test his luck in free agency. He spent most of his time in the minors, hitting .265/.347/.410 in 90 games for the IronPigs. Florimon earned a promotion in August held his own for the Phillies, hitting .348/.388/.478 in 15 games before suffering a season-ending ankle injury. He's expected to be ready for the start of spring training, and he should compete for an Opening Day utility role wherever he winds up.

Florimon (ankle) is expected to be ready by spring training, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Florimon dislocated his ankle earlier this month and is out for the rest of the season. He is expected to enter camp as a heavy favorite for a utility role with the Phillies.

Florimon (dislocated ankle) was placed on the 60-day DL on Tuesday, Stephen Gross of The Allentown Morning Call reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies made room on the 40-man roster for prospect J.P. Crawford by moving Florimon to the 60-day DL. We already knew his season was over, so this doesn't change his timetable. Manager Pete Mackanin has lobbied to have Florimon back next year in a utility role.
