INF Pedro Florimon (right ankle dislocation) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Tuesday. The transaction made room on the 40-man roster for IF J.P. Crawford, who had his contract purchased from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Florimon was already declared out for the year after he was injured while stepping awkwardly on first base while trying to beat out an infield single on Saturday. He hit .348 with no homers and six RBIs in 15 games for the Phillies this season.

CF Pedro Florimon dislocated his right ankle and is likely done for the year. Florimon beat out an infield hit, extending his hitting streak to seven games and improving his batting average to .348. But he got hurt as he stepped on the bag and was in obvious pain. The game was delayed for about 15 minutes as Florimon had to be carried onto a cart and taken off the field.
Tue Aug 29 201703:13CF Pedro Florimon pleasant surprise since August call-up
CF Pedro Florimon has been a pleasant surprise since his August call-up. On Monday night, the 30-year-old journeyman went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored, upping his average to .367 (11-for-30). In 123 ABs spread over the previous three seasons at the MLB level, he'd been just 14-for-123 (.114). "He's really helping us out, especially in centerfield, looks like he's a sure-handed center fielder," Mackanin said. "He caught my eye, swinging the bat pretty good."

INF/LF Pedro Florimon was brilliant both at the plate and in the field in Sunday's win over the San Francisco Giants. Getting a rare start, his first ever as a major-leaguer in left field, Florimon matched his career high with three RBIs, two of which came on a tie-breaking single in the eighth inning of the 5-2 win. Florimon helped keep the Phillies in the game earlier with his defense, throwing out Buster Posey at the plate after a single and making a diving catch.

The Phillies will face three consecutive Giants lefties Friday through Sunday.

2B Pedro Florimon collected his first triple of the season Sunday afternoon, the fifth of his career. He narrowly missed his first home run since 2013 when the triple caromed off the glove of Reds CF Jose Peraza near the wall. Florimon went 2-for-4 with two RBIs.

INF Pedro Florimon cleared waivers Wednesday and has been assigned outright to Triple-A Indianapolis. He has until Saturday to accept or refuse the assignment. The Pirates designed Florimon for assignment April 3.
Mon Apr 4 201604:34INF Pedro Florimon designated for assignment Sunday
INF Pedro Florimon was designated for assignment Sunday. He was beaten out for a utility infielder's job by INF Cole Figueroa in spring training after appearing in 24 games for the Pirates last season.
Wed Sep 2 201515:57Florimon's contract selected by Pirates
Florimon's contract has been selected by the Pirates.
Florimon hasn't been very impressive offensively this season, nor throughout his career, but he'll provide the Pirates with another infield option with the ability to be a late-game substitution defensively. However, it's unlikely he'll see a significant amount of playing time in September.
Tue Aug 25 201516:09Florimon cleared waivers and outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis
Florimon cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis.
As expected, Florimon will land in Indianapolis after being DFA'd last week. The infielder was hitting a paltry .105 on the year (only 19 at-bats), so he'll look to get things straightened out at the Triple-A level, where's slashing .254/.324/.384 in 61 games.
Wed Aug 19 201516:56Florimon designated for assignment Wednesday
Florimon was designated for assignment Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Tribune's Travis Sawchik reports.
Despite being the hero in Tuesday's game, Florimon was still only hitting .105 on the season, so it made sense for him to be the odd man out with Josh Wall getting promoted.

Florimon will start at shortstop and bat ninth Wednesday against the Royals, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Jung-Ho Kang will slide over to third base, opening the door for Florimon to make his first start in a Pirates uniform. The switch-hitting Florimon slashed .265/.346/.393 against right-handed pitching with Triple-A Indianapolis before his callup, but he's a .204/.266/.300 career hitter at the major league level (692 PA). It's hard to imagine he'll earn and maintain a significant role while Josh Harrison and Jordy Mercer remain out.
Wed Jul 22 201516:16Florimon called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday
Florimon was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune reports.
Florimon will come up to take the roster spot of Wilfredo Boscan, who was optioned to Indianapolis. The 28-year-old has spent the season at Triple-A, slashing .254/.324/.384 with 18 RBI and 11 steals in 61 games. He'll primarily provide infield depth and doesn't figure to be an everyday player, barring an injury.
Sat Apr 11 201518:55Florimon has cleared waivers
Florimon has cleared waivers, and will be outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Bill Brink reports.
This comes as no surprise, as Florimon has shown little ability to hit big league pitching (.204 career average). He will provide the Pirates with organizational middle-infield depth.
Sun Apr 5 201515:57Florimon designated for assignment Sunday
Florimon was designated for assignment Sunday, Stephen J. Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
If he isn't claimed on waivers, Florimon will be one of the Pirates' first options should the need for infield depth arise.

The Pirates claimed Florimon off waivers from the Nationals on Thursday, James Wagner of the Washington Post reports.
Florimon did not appear in a game with the Nationals after being claimed by the club in mid-September. He struggled mightily with the bat last season but could get a shot to compete for a utility job during spring training.

The Nationals claimed Florimon off waivers from the Twins on Thursday.
Florimon compiled a disastrous .092/.179/.132 batting line in 33 games with Minnesota earlier this season, but he'll get a fresh start with Washington, with Eury Perez designated for assignment in the corresponding move. Although Florimon has played primarily at short in his professional career, he can play second base and third base if needed. He'll likely serve merely as depth over the final week of the regular season.
