Johan Oviedo News
The Pittsburgh Pirates called up right-hander Johan Oviedo and outfielder Cal Mitchell from the minors on Thursday with rosters expanding. Oviedo will start the game on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Pirates acquired Oviedo at the trade deadline from the St. Louis Cardinals but then assigned him to Triple-A Indianapolis, where he posted a 0.79 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 13 strikeouts and three walks in 11 1/3 innings over five appearances (four starts). The 24-year-old Cuban was also solid for the Cardinals in 14 games (one start), allowing only nine earned runs on 26 hits while walking seven and striking out 26 in 25 1/3 frames. Oviedo will have a chance to stay in Pittsburgh's rotation the rest of the way and is worth a pickup in deep mixed leagues.
The St. Louis Cardinals have optioned starting pitcher Johan Oviedo to Triple-A Memphis, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic. The Cardinals are expected to use a four-man rotation for the next couple of weeks. Oviedo has had a tough year in the big leagues, posting a 4.91 ERA, 5.26 FIP, a weak 17.7 K% and a bloated 12.8 BB%. He will continue to work on his command while he tries to make a return to the Cardinals. Oviedo was never much of a fantasy option this season, and that won't change if he were to return to the team's rotation from this point on. Fantasy managers needing pitching depth shouldn't consider picking him up.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Johan Oviedo wasn't great on Sunday, lasting just 4 1/3 innings. He gave up three runs on five hits with six walks and six strikeouts. There were tons of base runners on seemingly at all times, and it took Oviedo 98 pitches (55 strikes) to get just 13 outs. He escaped without a decision, thanks to the Cardinals scoring 10 runs. Oviedo has a 4.91 ERA and might not be in the starting rotation for long unless he starts throwing more strikes.
