Johan Oviedo Tosses Five Innings in Double-A Rehab Start
Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Johan Oviedo (elbow, lat) was terrific in a rehab outing with Double-A Altoona on Thursday. Oviedo threw five innings and allowed just one earned run with no walks over 63 pitches in his second rehab start at that level. The 27-year-old fanned five, threw 42 pitches for strikes, and reached 97 mph on his fastball. Oviedo could move to Triple-A next as he works back from multiple arm injuries that have kept him out of action since 2023. After missing last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Oviedo has been on the shelf this year with a lat issue. He went 9-14 with a 4.31 ERA and 158:83 K:BB across 32 starts and 177 2/3 innings with the Pirates in 2023.
