Vizcaino won't pitch in Arizona Fall League

Arodys Vizcaino will not pitch in the Arizona Fall League.

Vizcaino was originally slated to pitch in the AFL, but the Cubs would prefer that he pitch in the instructional league so that they can better monitor his rehab. The 22-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery in March of 2012 and required another surgery earlier this year to address a calcium buildup in his elbow.

Tyler Anderson will have left knee scoped

Tyler Anderson will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.

Anderson has made two trips to the disabled list this month with a knee issue and the decision has been made to have it operated on. He's expected to be sidelined for around four weeks, so the left-hander could still be a big part of the Rockies' rotation in the second half.

Manuel Margot activated from disabled list

Padres activated OF Manuel Margot from the 10-day disabled list.

Margot has been sidelined for a little over a month with a strained calf. He went just 3-for-20 (.150) during his rehab assignment, but the rookie outfielder feels healthy and that's really all the Padres care about.

RotoGrinders.com Daily Slant: The Padres bats aren't too appealing on a full slate against Sean Newcomb, but starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin has viability in his home park. Chacin owns a surprisingly solid 6.4 Hd-Sft% at home to go along with a 55% GB rate and just five HRs allowed in 47 IP. He’s been fortunate from a BABIP perspective, but sets up as a fine mid-range play for those looking to pay a premium for bats. Atlanta owns the 5th lowest team total on the slate.

Villar on the bench in return from DL

Jonathan Villar is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Reds.

In other words, Villar is sitting in his return from the disabled list while the hot-hitting Eric Sogard will start at second base and hit leadoff. He struggled before hitting the DL with a back strain and now his playing time could be in jeopardy. Ryan Braun, who was also activated from the DL on Tuesday, is in the lineup.
