Impact Oviedo should be given a chance to stake claim to a rotation spot for the remainder of the season. The right-hander lasted only one inning in a start earlier this month against the Giants, which was his first big-league outing since September 2023. Oviedo has pitched well in two starts at Indianapolis since then, however, yielding four runs (three earned) with a 15:3 K:BB across 8.2 frames.

Sent back to minors The Pirates optioned Oviedo to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Impact Oviedo returned from the 60-day injured list Monday to make his first appearance in the big leagues since Sept. 27, 2023, after he missed time while recovering from Tommy John surgery and then a lat strain. Though he escaped with a no-decision in the Pirates' 5-4 win over the Giants, Oviedo was inefficient in his start, needing 43 pitches to complete one inning while serving up two earned runs on two hits and three walks. He'll head back to Triple-A as he looks to hone his command following the lengthy layoff from big-league action and will be replaced on the 26-man active roster by right-hander Cam Sanders, who will provide the bullpen with some reinforcement after the Pirates needed four relievers to cover the final eight frames of Monday's contest. The Pirates have yet to announce who will replace Oviedo in the rotation the next time his turn comes up Saturday versus the Reds.

Back to minors after short start The Pirates optioned Oviedo to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Impact Oviedo struggled Monday versus the Giants in his first start in the majors since December 2023 Tommy John surgery, yielding two runs on two hits and three walks while needing 43 pitches to cover his lone inning. With the bullpen now short after it had to cover eight innings Monday, the Pirates are replacing Oviedo with a fresh relief arm in Cam Sanders.

Struggles in return Oviedo conceded two runs on two hits and three walks over one inning while not factoring into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 victory over the Giants. He struck out three.
Impact The Pittsburgh right-hander was understandably rusty, as he pitched for the first time since Sept. 27, 2023 after undergoing Tommy John surgery in December 2023. Oviedo struggled to find the zone in this short outing, firing 43 total pitches while tallying only 23 strikes. The 27-year-old's velocity was diminished in this appearance, as he averaged 94.8 mph on his fastball, down from 95.8 mph previously in 2023. Oviedo is not a viable fantasy starting pitcher while he continues to reacclimate himself to the big leagues. He is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Reds at home this weekend.

Activated ahead of season debut The Pirates activated Oviedo (lat) from the 60-day injured list Monday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Impact Oviedo will make his season debut for the Pirates with a start Monday versus the Giants. The right-hander missed all of the 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and the first four months of 2025 while working his way back from a right lat strain. Oviedo threw 62 pitches in his final rehab start, so he'll face some workload restrictions against the Giants.

Impact Oviedo missed all of the 2024 season and the entirety of the 2025 campaign to this point while recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in December 2023. The right-hander most recently made a rehab start with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, allowing one run on two hits, while striking out five batters over five innings. Oviedo only threw 62 total pitches in his outing with Indianapolis, and he'll likely face a workload restriction in his first major-league outing of the year.

Sharp in latest rehab start Oviedo (lat/elbow) struck out five and allowed one earned run on four hits and no walks over five innings in his most recent rehab start Thursday with Double-A Altoona.
Impact Oviedo made the fifth start of his rehab assignment Thursday and came through with his lengthiest and best outing yet, tossing 63 pitches (42 strikes) while generating 10 of his 15 outs via strikeout or groundout. The right-hander is likely to move up to Triple-A Indianapolis for his next appearance, and if he's able to surpass the 70-pitch mark in that outing, he could then be cleared to return from the 60-day injured list. The Pirates don't appear to have an opening for Oviedo in the rotation at the moment, but a spot could open up if Pittsburgh elects to move at least one of Mitch Keller, Bailey Falter or Andrew Heaney ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.
