Cards place Flaherty on IL with 'significant' oblique injury

The St. Louis Cardinals have placed pitcher Jack Flaherty on the 10-day injured list with what manager Mike Shildt termed a “significant” oblique injury

JUNE 2, 2021 • Associated Press

Returns to majors Oviedo was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Impact The 23-year-old will rejoin the Cardinals ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Dodgers with Jack Flaherty (oblique) landing on the injured list. Flaherty isn't expected to return anytime soon, and Oviedo could be in the mix to fill the open rotation spot.

Sent to minors Oviedo was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Impact Oviedo started Friday's game in Arizona and allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and six walks while striking out three in 4.1 innings. He'll remain with the taxi squad, so he could be available if injuries occur in the Cardinals' pitching staff. Right-hander Junior Fernandez was recalled in a corresponding move.

Wild in inefficient start Oviedo allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and six walks while striking out three across 4.1 innings against Arizona on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Oviedo was called up Friday and given a chance to start against one of the league's least successful teams. He was given plenty of offensive support -- St. Louis scored four runs in the first inning -- but needed 91 pitches (only 48 of which were strikes) to get through 4.1 frames and couldn't stick around long enough to quality for the win. The right-hander again got himself into trouble by issuing too many free passes, issuing six walks after yielding five across two innings in his previous appearance. Oviedo's 5.40 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 15:16 K:BB on the season are far from impressive, but he could get another start, which would likely come against Cincinnati next week.

O'Neill homers in Cards' win, D-backs lose 12th straight

Recalled ahead of start Oviedo was recalled by the Cardinals ahead of Friday's start against the White Sox.

Impact Oviedo made four appearances (three starts) for the Cardinals earlier in the season and posted a 5.74 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 15.2 innings during that time. Since Miles Mikolas (forearm) is back on the injured list, Oviedo could also start during next week's series in Cincinnati.

Molina's double in 10th leads Cards past skidding D-backs

Yadier Molina had an RBI double in the 10th inning that led the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have lost 11 straight games

MAY 28, 2021 • Associated Press

Slated to start Friday The Cardinals will call up Oviedo from Triple-A Memphis to start Friday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact With Miles Mikolas (forearm) having recently returned to the injured list and the Cardinals' next off day not coming until June 7, Oviedo will join the big club while it temporarily rolls out a six-man rotation. Oviedo has previously made four appearances (three starts) for St. Louis this season, posting a 5.74 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB in 15.2 innings. After Friday's outing, Oviedo will presumably make another start during next week's series in Cincinnati before he likely heads back to Memphis.

Dropped from active roster Oviedo was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Impact Oviedo was quite poor in his latest outing, lasting just two innings in his start Friday against the Padres while giving up three runs, walking five batters and hitting another. He now owns a 5.74 ERA through three starts and one relief appearance. Junior Fernandez was recalled in a corresponding move.

MAY 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Walks five in two innings Oviedo (0-2) took the loss Friday, allowing two runs on two hits and five walks over two innings as the Cardinals fell 5-4 to the Padres.

Impact Making his fourth start, Oviedo struggled with his control, loading the bases with no outs in the third inning. He's struggled as a spot starter for St. Louis and isn't a viable fantasy option until he can find the plate with more consistency.

In line to start Friday The Cardinals list Oviedo as their probable starter for Friday's game against the Padres.

Impact Unless he's needed in relief for the final two games of St. Louis' ongoing series with the Brewers, Oviedo will slot into the rotation this weekend as a replacement for Carlos Martinez (ankle), who was moved to the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Oviedo performed respectably in his three outings (two starts) with St. Louis earlier this season, but he was battered in his most recent appearance at Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, surrendering five earned runs over 2.2 innings.

Promoted to big club The Cardinals recalled Oviedo from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Impact St. Louis summoned Oviedo from the minors as a replacement for Carlos Martinez (ankle), who was moved to the 10-day injured list. Martinez had been in line to make a start this weekend in San Diego, so Oviedo could be plugged into the rotation in the short term if he isn't needed out of the bullpen for the Cardinals' upcoming three-game series with the Brewers. Oviedo has previously made three appearances (two starts) for St. Louis this season, posting a 4.61 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings.

Walker allows 1 hit in 7 innings, Mets walk past Cards 4-1

Taijuan Walker allowed one hit in seven innings, the Mets scored three runs on bases-loaded walks and beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 on Thursday

MAY 6, 2021 • Associated Press

Sent down by Cardinals Oviedo was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

Impact Oviedo started the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets and was charged with the loss after he gave up four runs on five hits and no walks while striking out two in four innings. He'll now attempt to sort things out in the minors but could return to the Cardinals as a spot starter at some point. Outfielder Lane Thomas was recalled in a corresponding move.

Gives up four runs in Game 2 Oviedo (0-1) was tagged with the loss in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets after allowing four runs on five hits while fanning two across four innings.

Impact Oviedo gave up two long balls -- a two-run shot to Tomas Nido in the second inning and a solo shot to Jonathan Villar in the fourth -- and that was enough to saddle him with his first loss of the campaign. Oviedo has only made three appearances this season but has given up at least three runs in each of his last two outings. The sample size is small, but Oviedo has a 4.61 ERA after allowing seven runs across his 13.2 innings in 2021.
