Vizcaino allowed a double and back-to-back home runs without recording an out during the eighth inning of Sunday's loss to Philadelphia.

The poor outing saddled Vizcaino with his first loss of the season and upped his ERA to 5.00. He features an impressive pitch arsenal and has struck out 61 batters over his last 47.2 innings dating back to last season. However, his 4.53 ERA and 1.57 WHIP during that stretch have stifled the value of those whiffs.

Rodriguez (1-0) picked up his first career win Sunday after facing two batters and retiring both (with one strikeout) in a 5-2 victory over the Braves.

Rodriguez has a 5.73 ERA after allowing seven runs over his first four games, but he's settled in, holding the opposition scoreless in his last five appearances. He has seen most of his work in the sixth and seventh innings, but Rodriguez will occasionally be asked to work the eighth inning, which was the case Sunday.

Miller (forearm) will undergo an MRI on Monday, the Arizona Republic reports.

A bout of forearm tightness forced Miller off the hill Sunday after 79 pitches, but both Miller and manager Torey Lovullo say they are optimistic. Miller admitted that he has never experienced forearm tightness like this before but also said, "Physically I don't think there's any damage done at all."

Miller left Sunday's game with right forearm tightness.

Miller was lifted in the top of the fifth inning after allowing back-to-back walks (Nos. 4 and 5 of the outing for him) and a double to Corey Seager. He will be evaluated Monday, and it would make sense if that evaluation included an MRI as the Diamondbacks will presumably want to get the full picture with the injury before deciding on a course of action.

Miller left Sunday's game against the Dodgers with an undisclosed injury, Jack Magruder of Fanragsports.com reports.

Miller managed to pitch four innings before exiting the game, allowing three runs on four hits and five walks. The team has yet to disclose what was ailing Miller, but more information is expected to become available in the near future. Miller's season had gotten off to a decent start, as he entered Sunday's game with a 3.50 ERA and 1.28 WHIP.

Suter will be sent to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Monday to make room for Matt Garza (groin), Adam McCalvy of of MLB.com reports.

Suter had gotten off to a rough start in his four appearances for Milwaukee, posting a 5.68 ERA across 6.1 innings. He'll be a prime candidate to return to the Brewers' big-league roster the next time they need bullpen reinforcements.

Moore (1-3) was shelled for six runs on nine hits against the Rockies on Saturday. He walked one and struck out four in a 12-3 loss.

Moore continues to struggle early in the season, watching his ERA balloon to 5.87 through four starts after Saturday's poor showing. He's had a bit of bad luck in terms of matchups, facing the Diamondbacks and Rockies twice each, opponents that can give even the greatest pitchers in the league fits. It isn't time to hit the panic button yet, but if the veteran lefty can't capitalize on favorable matchups against the Dodgers -- who struggle against southpaws --- in his next two starts, then owners in shallower leagues can begin to explore other options.

Bowman was credited with his fifth hold of the season in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Brewers, pitching a scoreless seventh inning and allowing one hit.

The 25-year-old's scoreless streak is now at 18.1 innings dating back to the tail end of last season, and he's allowed just four hits overall in 8.2 innings to date in 2017. Bowman continues to do a solid job of keeping the ball on the ground as well.

Hernandez was recalled from Double-A Pensacola on Sunday.

Hernandez, 25, was dominant over his first seven relief appearances of the season with Pensacola, conceding just one run over eight innings while striking out 14 batters. Despite his success at the Double-A level, it's likely Hernandez's stay with the Reds will be brief, as the team likely just brought him aboard to give the bullpen another fresh arm after starting pitcher Cody Reed lasted just two innings Saturday against the Cubs. Don't expect Hernandez to see any work in high-leverage situations during his first taste of the majors.

Arano (elbow) has been throwing at the Phillies' complex in Clearwater, Florida, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

General manager Matt Klentak said Arano has experienced a few setbacks in his recovery from a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, but seems to be making progress now. Arano will likely head to Double-A Reading when healthy.
