Non-tendered by Cubs The Cubs declined to tender Vizcaino (personal) a contract for 2023, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact VIzcaino was part of the 2021 return for Anthony Rizzo, but things didn't pan out for him in Chicago. He battled an arm issue in 2021 and didn't return to the mound in 2022, although the exact reason for his absence last year was not disclosed.

Sent to Cubs for Rizzo Vizcaino (arm) and Kevin Alcantara were acquired by the Cubs from the Yankees on Wednesday in exchange for Anthony Rizzo, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vizcaino has been on the 60-day injured list all season while dealing with arm soreness, but he's pitched in five rehab games over the past couple weeks and appears to be nearing full health. The right-hander was one of the Yankees' top prospects, but he'll now join the Cubs with New York bolstering its lineup. He's likely destined for Double-A once activated from the injured list.

Impact Vizcaino was shut down for the first two months of the minor-league season while contending with right arm soreness. The 24-year-old is expected to settle at High-A Hudson Valley once he completes his rehab assignment, but for the time being, he resides on the Yankees' 60-day injured list after the big club chose to add him to the 40-man roster during the offseason.

Out with sore arm Vizcaino has a sore arm and will miss the start of the minor-league season, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.

Impact Callis says the Yankees hope Vizcaino will join an affiliate (likely High-A or Double-A) in the near future, but given the nature of the injury, we should consider him out indefinitely. Vizcaino has velocity, athleticism and a nasty changeup all working in his favor. He could breakout this year if he can get 100 percent healthy.

Sent to minors Vizcaino was optioned to High-A Hudson Valley on Friday.

Impact Vizcaino is on the 40-man roster, but he's yet to pitch above the High-A level and spent all of last season at the team's alternate training site. The right-hander did not make an appearance for the Yankees in exhibition play this spring.
