Arodys Vizcaino News
The Atlanta Braves have traded right-handed relief pitcher Arodys Vizcaino and left-handed relief pitcher Jesse Biddle to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for right-handed relief pitcher Anthony Swarzak. Vizcaino is out for the season with a labrum injury and will be a free agent following the season. Biddle had made 15 appearances for the Braves this season with a 5.40 ERA before getting demoted to Triple-A Gwinnett, where he was much more effective with a 3.38 ERA in four appearances. Swarzak is an intriguing piece, as he was successful in the bullpen for multiple seasons, but the past two years have not been as nice to him, as he has a 5.85 ERA in his last 44 appearances. A change of scenery may be in the best interest of Swarzak, and is the only player in this trade worth monitoring to see how the Braves deploy him.
Atlanta Braves closer Arodys Vizcaino underwent right shoulder surgery Wednesday to clean up his labrum and remove scar tissue from the shoulder joint, the team announced via Twitter. The right-handed hurler is expected to miss the rest of the season. Vizcaino had notched six strikeouts and one save through four innings of work thus far. A. J. Minter is expected to assume the closing role for the Braves, and despite his rocky start (9.64 ERA through 4 2/3 innings) he's an immediate waiver add in all formats.
Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Arodys Vizcaino underwent season-ending shoulder surgery on Wednesday to repair his labrum and remove scar tissue. Vizcaino's shoulder issues date back to last season, when he was relieved of his closing duties by A.J. Minter, who now gains a bunch of fantasy value for the remainder of the season. Chad Sobotka and Dan Winkler are waiting in the wings in Atlanta if anything were to happen to Minter moving forward. You can safely drop Vizcaino now in all redraft leagues.
