• Victor Arano: Elects to become free agent

  10/05/2023 • By RotoWire

  Arano (shoulder) elected free agency Thursday after passing through waivers unclaimed, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports. Arano did not pitch at any level with the Nationals this season after being diagnosed with a right shoulder strain in March and undergoing a surgical repair in June. The 28-year-old reliever enjoyed a good run of success with the Phillies between 2017-19, but he's battled both injuries and ineffectiveness over the last handful of years.

• Nationals' Victor Arano: Needs shoulder surgery

  06/06/2023 • By RotoWire

  Arano will undergo right shoulder surgery later this month, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports. Arano has been on the injured list all season due to a lingering shoulder injury that is now going to require a surgical repair. Even if it's a relatively minor procedure, the 28-year-old seems doubtful to pitch at the MLB level in 2023. He posted a 4.50 ERA in 42 innings of relief with the Nationals in 2022.

• Nationals' Victor Arano: Likely to head to 60-day IL

  03/21/2023 • By RotoWire

  Arano (shoulder) is expected to open the season on the Nationals' 60-day injured list, a source tells Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post. Arano made two appearances in Grapefruit League play before being shut down earlier this month after being diagnosed with a right shoulder impingement. Though the injury typically isn't one that entails a lengthy absence, the Nationals could be inclined to take a more cautious approach with Arano given that he missed time in 2020 and 2022 on account of shoulder concerns. When healthy, Arano is expected to serve as a middle-innings or setup option out of the Washington bullpen.

  Arano agreed to a one-year, $925,000 contract with the Nationals on Friday to avoid arbitration, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports. Arano made 43 appearances for the Nationals in 2022 and had a 4.50 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 44:12 K:BB across 42 innings. The 27-year-old is likely to open 2023 in middle relief but could see high-leverage chances with a strong start to the campaign.
