| Denver, CO (MySportsbook) - The Colorado Rockies activated right-handed reliever Luis Vizcaino from the 15-day disabled list on Saturday.

The veteran appeared in just two games, surrendering four runs in just 1 1/3 innings of work. Vizcaino is a year removed from posting an 8-2 mark with a 4.30 earned run average in a career-high 77 relief appearances last season with the New York Yankees. |
