ATLANTA -- Now that Arodys Vizcaino has spent the past two months resting his troublesome right shoulder, the Braves will spend the season's final two weeks evaluating whether he might be durable enough to be a potential postseason asset.
Vizcaino was activated from the 60-day disabled list on Friday to serve as one of the 20 pitchers the Braves are now carrying on the expanded roster. The bullpen depth provides manager Brian Snitker an opportunity to slowly reacclimate his former closer, who still must prove his shoulder can handle a regular workload.
"We'll just pick a spot here and there to try to see where he's at," Snitker said.
