Atlanta Braves right-hander Arodys Vizcaino will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery Wednesday on his right shoulder, the team announced.
Vizcaino, 28, went on the 10-day injured list on April 14 (retroactive to April 11) with inflammation in the shoulder. He appeared in four games, allowing one run on three hits with six strikeouts in four innings.
Dr. David Altchek performed the procedure in New York, cleaning up the labrum and also removing scar tissue from the shoulder joint.
Vizcaino is in his sixth season in Atlanta and seventh in the major leagues, also pitching for the Chicago Cubs in 2014.
He is 13-11 with 50 saves and a 3.01 ERA in 206 appearances, striking out 218 batters in 194 1/3 innings.
