ESTEVAN FLORIAL NEWS

Signs with KBO team The Hanwha Eagles of the Korea Baseball Organization have signed Florial, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Florial made the Guardians' Opening Day roster in 2024 but was eventually removed from the 40-man roster after slashing only .173/.264/.367 with a 36.9 percent strikeout rate in 36 games. The 27-year-old will try to get his career back on track overseas.

In lineup, but losing work vs. RHPs Florial will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Though the lefty-hitting Florial is starting against a southpaw (Jose Quintana), the Guardians have seemingly pulled the plug on the 26-year-old being a regular part of the lineup versus right-handed pitching. Florial started just once while Cleveland opposed righty starters in each of the previous five contests.

Sits down versus southpaw Florial isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Lifts homer in nightcap Florial went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Yankees in the second game of a doubleheader.

Impact Florial went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in the matinee before getting his third hit and first homer as a Guardian -- against his former organization -- in the nightcap. The outfielder is still hitting a paltry .150 with one stolen base, one RBI, two runs scored and a triple over 24 plate appearances. Florial is competing Ramon Laureano, Tyler Freeman and Will Brennan for playing time between center field, right field and designated hitter, and none of them have made compelling cases to grab a starting role so far.

Slated for regular playing time Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Florial is "going to have an opportunity to play and to play a lot," Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Florial absorbed the roster spot vacated by Jasson Dominguez (elbow) and it sounds like he'll slide into Dominguez's role as the team's regular center fielder, too, with Everson Pereira remaining in left field. The 25-year-old has struggled in his big-league chances so far but posted a .944 OPS with 28 home runs and 25 stolen bases this season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Florial is starting in center field and batting seventh for the Yankees in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

Returns to big leagues The Yankees selected Florial's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

Impact He's taking the roster spot vacated by Jasson Dominguez (elbow). Florial was removed from the Yanks' 40-man roster earlier this season but has made his way back on after putting up a .944 OPS with 28 home runs and 25 stolen bases with SWB. The 25-year-old has really struggled during his brief time in the majors, though, and there's no guarantee that he'll see much playing time in the final weeks.
