Victor Arano Elects Free Agency
1 year agoWashington Nationals relief pitcher Victor Arano (shoulder) cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and elected free agency, according to a source. He was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right-shoulder strain in March and didn't pitch at all in 2023 after having surgery. The 28-year-old will have to prove he's healthy before another team takes a chance on him in free agency, likely on a minor-league deal. Arano had a 4.50 ERA (3.71 FIP), 1.40 WHIP, one save, 12 walks and 44 strikeouts in 42 relief innings in his first year with the Nationals in 2022. In his four major-league campaigns, he has a 3.32 ERA (3.39 FIP), 1.23 WHIP, four saves and a 25.3% strikeout rate in 116 relief appearances for the Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies.
