Tuesday's game postponed Oviedo won't start Tuesday against the Mets since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 23-year-old was recalled from the alternate site to start Tuesday's contest, but the game won't be played as scheduled. The contest will be made up via a straight doubleheader Wednesday, and Oviedo figures to take the mound in one of those contests.

Officially called up The Cardinals recalled Oviedo from their alternate training site Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Reliever Jordan Hicks (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list to create an opening on the active roster for Oviedo, who is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Mets. The Cardinals are in the midst of a stretch of 17 games in 17 days, so manager Mike Schildt has temporarily elected to expand the rotation to six men. St. Louis will get a much-needed off day May 10, so Oviedo may only get one start before heading to Triple-A Memphis.

Expected to start Tuesday Oviedo is expected to be called up to start Tuesday against the Mets, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact Oviedo hasn't been in the minor for the required 10 days, so someone will have to be place on the injured list if he's to return Tuesday. He's made one start and one relief appearance this season, posting an 11:4 K:BB over 9.2 innings while allowing three earned runs.

Optioned off roster Oviedo was optioned off the Cardinals' active roster Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact Oviedo was recalled to make a spot start Wednesday against the Phillies and did well enough, allowing three earned runs in five innings while striking out seven. He could return later in the season when the Cardinals need another starter, but for now, reliever Seth Elledge will take his place on the roster.

Punches out seven Oviedo allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven across five innings Wednesday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Oviedo surrendered a two-run homer to Brad Miller in the fifth inning, which soured what was an otherwise solid outing. He generated an impressive 17 swinging strikes to back up his seven punchouts. It's unclear what the team has planned for Oviedo both in the short- and long-term this season, though it would likely have to stick with a six-man rotation for him to remain a starter in the immediate future.

Recalled ahead of start Oviedo was recalled from the Cardinals' alternate training site prior to his start Wednesday against the Phillies.
Impact The 23-year-old righty logged a 5.47 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 16 strikeouts in 24.2 innings across five MLB starts last season. He has not allowed a run in 4.2 innings (one appearance) this season. The 6-foot-5 hurler throws four pitches, leaning on his 95-97 mph fastball roughly 50 percent of the time.

Lined up to start Wednesday Cardinals manager Mike Shildt all but confirmed that Oviedo will start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. "I don't think i...
Impact Shildt previously hinted that the Cardinals would move from a five-man to a six-man rotation while the team faces a stretch of 17 games in 17 days. Oviedo previously cemented himself as the next man up for the rotation after he impressed in a long-relief appearance against the Brewers on April 11, when he struck out four over 4.2 scoreless innings. He's spent the past couple weeks getting stretched out at the Cardinals' alternate training site, so he shouldn't face any major restrictions with his pitch count when he makes his first start of 2021 on Wednesday.

Likely to make spot start next week Oviedo is expected to be recalled from the Cardinals' alternate site to make a spot start next week, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact The Cardinals already have a full five-man rotation, with John Gant filling in as the fifth starter for the injured Miles Mikolas (shoulder). However, with Friday marking the beginning of a stretch of 17 games in 17 days, manager Mike Shildt is eager to work a sixth starter in the mix to give some extra rest to the other rotation members. Oviedo appears to have emerged as the most likely starter to join the big club after he dazzled in his lone outing with the Cardinals back on April 11, when he struck out four over 4.2 innings of long relief in a loss to Milwaukee. With St. Louis already setting its rotation for the next five games, Oviedo tentatively lines up to make a spot start next Wednesday against the Phillies in St. Louis.

Excels as mop-up man Oviedo held the Brewers scoreless over 4.2 innings of relief in the Cardinals' 9-3 loss Sunday. He worked around two hits and two walks and struck out four over the 65-pitch appear...
Impact The outcome was already decided when Oviedo entered the contest midway through the second inning, as starter Daniel Ponce de Leon had already put St. Louis in a 7-0 hole. Oviedo at least did his part to make the final score more respectable, and he may have put himself ahead of Ponce de Leon in the rotation pecking order after Sunday's performance. The 23-year-old may have to wait a bit before getting a look in the rotation, however; the Cardinals won't require a fifth starter until April 20, and Kwang Hyun Kim (back) appears on track to return from the injured list before then.
APRIL 12, 2021 ⢠ROTOWIRE
Joining big-league club Oviedo was recalled from the alternate training site Sunday.
Impact The 23-year-old failed to make the Opening Day roster but didn't need to wait long before returning to the majors. Oviedo made his big-league debut for the Cardinals last season and had a 5.47 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB across 24.2 innings as a starter.

Optioned to minor-league camp Oviedo was optioned to minor-league camp Thursday.
Impact Oviedo made his major-league debut in 2020 as the Cardinals faced a multitude of double headers that stretched their starting rotation thin. However, he made only one appearance in Grapefruit League action and will likely to continue to stretch out at the alternate site to begin the season.

Impact Oviedo, along with the likes of Alex Reyes, Carlos Martinez and John Gant, is being stretched out this spring as manager Mike Shildt evaluates all of them for a potential back-end rotation spot. The 23-year-old had a relatively rough big-league initiation in 2020, pitching to an 0-3 record, 5.47 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 24.2 innings (five starts), but he opened his career with a pair of promising five-inning, two-run outings and has Shildt's confidence. "He's a guy that clearly helped us last year and has the tools to help us again this year," Shildt said. "Good start to camp in a live setting."
