JOHAN OVIEDO NEWS

Lasts only four innings Oviedo (0-4) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Pirates after allowing five runs on six hits and four walks across four innings. He struck out five.

Impact Oviedo has failed to complete five innings in all but two of his appearances this season and had another below-average outing on the mound, as he dropped a second straight decision while showing a severe lack of control. In addition to his four walks, he also tossed 39 of his 90 pitches outside the strike zone. The right-hander owns a woeful 5.23 ERA while posting a 35:25 K:BB across 43 innings (nine starts) this season.

Implodes against Tigers Oviedo (0-3) allowed six runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out one across 3.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Tigers.

Impact Oviedo worked through three fairly routine scoreless innings but was hit hard in the fourth frame. In that disastrous final inning, he walked two, threw a wild pitch, made a throwing error and finally surrendered a three-run home run. Ironically, his fielding mishap aided his final line by making the majority of the damage against him uncharged runs. Though he delivered seven scoreless innings in his previous outing, Oviedo still has a 4.62 ERA with only a 30:21 K:BB across 39 frames on the campaign.

Shines in no-decision Oviedo struck out four and allowed six hits in seven shutout innings, not factoring into the decision of Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Marlins.

Impact Wednesday was by far the righty's best start of the season to date. Not only did Oviedo yield fewer than two runs for the first time since his April 11 season debut, he also recorded more than 15 outs for the first time in 2021. The 23-year-old was incredibly efficient as well, walking nobody and requiring just 87 pitches to get through the seven frames. Oviedo is expected to make his next start Tuesday against the Tigers.

Hit hard Friday Oviedo gave up four earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five in 4.1 innings Friday against the Cubs. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact He has now failed to log more than 4.1 innings in five straight outings, which makes it difficult to deploy him in most fantasy formats. Oviedo is only in the rotation because four of the Cardinals' top starters are on the injured list. He could get another start in the middle of next week, either at home for the Marlins or in Atlanta.

No-decision Saturday Oviedo allowed two runs on three hits and two walks across four innings during Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Reds. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Oviedo was called upon to start Saturday's game with Jack Flaherty landing on the injured list with an oblique injury earlier in the week. The right-hander was pulled after just 65 pitches, likely due to him not being fully stretched out. A solo home run by Jonathan India in the third and an RBI single by Tucker Barnhart in the fourth wound up biting the 23-year-old, but the Cardinals were able to land him a no-decision by tying the game at two after he exited. St. Louis has off days Monday and Thursday, so it's unclear if Oviedo will get a start during the next turn through the rotation.
