Johan Oviedo News
The Pittsburgh Pirates announced on Wednesday that right-hander Johan Oviedo (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. The surgery was performed by Dr. Keith Meister. The 25-year-old Cuban hurler will now be forced to sit out all of the 2024 season. Oviedo was a part of Pittsburgh's starting rotation all year for the first time in his MLB career this past season. He made 32 starts and went 9-14 with a 4.31 ERA (4.49 FIP), 1.373 WHIP, 83 walks and 158 strikeouts in 177 2/3 total innings. Oviedo will hope to come back stronger in 2025, but there will most likely be better late-round fantasy targets for starting pitching. The small-market Pirates are certainly on the lookout for rotation help this offseason.
Pittsburgh Pirates Cuban right-hander Johan Oviedo (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery in the coming days, according to sources. Tommy John surgery was on the table for Oviedo once the 2023 season ended, and now it's become a reality that will knock him out for the entire 2024 season. The 25-year-old went 9-14 with a 4.31 ERA (4.49 FIP) and 1.37 WHIP while walking 83 and striking out a career-high 158 in a career-high 177 2/3 innings over 32 starts in his first full season in Pittsburgh in 2023. Oviedo wasn't really anything special from a fantasy perspective, but he was a useful innings-eater for a beleaguered Pirates starting rotation. In his four major-league seasons, Oviedo has a 4.32 ERA (4.57 FIP), 1.39 WHIP, a 10.8 percent walk rate and 19.6 percent strikeout rate in 320 2/3 innings over 72 appearances (58 starts).
Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Johan Oviedo (elbow) has been dealing with right-elbow issues/pain, according to sources. Nothing is definitive yet on how the Pirates will go forward with fixing the problem, but Tommy John surgery has been discussed. Oviedo didn't have any arm issues during the 2023 regular season, in which he went 9-14 with a 4.31 ERA (4.49 FIP) and 1.37 WHIP with 38 walks and a career-high 158 strikeouts in a career-high 177 2/3 innings over 32 starts for the Bucs. His previous career-high in innings pitched in the majors was in 2021 with the St. Louis Cardinals, when he had just 62 1/3 innings. If the 25-year-old needs Tommy John surgery, he'll miss all of the 2024 campaign. Perhaps his big workload jump caught up to him.
