Johan Oviedo Throws Bullpen Session on Monday
Johan Oviedo (elbow, late) was scheduled to throw a bullpen session at PNC Park on Monday and meet with team doctors and coaches, according to interim manager Don Kelly. Oviedo made his fourth minor-league rehab start with Double-A Altoona last Friday and allowed an earned run on three hits while walking none and striking out three in 3 1/3 innings. The 27-year-old was able to get up to 53 pitches in his latest outing, which means he probably will need several more rehab starts before the Pirates feel comfortable letting him make his 2025 big-league debut at some point in August. Oviedo could move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis for his next turn. The Cuban hurler hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2023, when he went 9-14 with a 4.31 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 158 K's and 83 walks in 32 starts.
