Johan Oviedo Touches 97 MPH in Latest Live BP Session
Johan Oviedo (elbow) continues to soundly progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, recently touching 97 MPH in a live batting practice session. The 27-year-old hasn't pitched since undergoing the procedure in December of 2023. Oviedo still aims to rejoin the big-league squad after the All-Star break, as he'll need an extended minor-league rehab assignment to build back up his strength. The Cuban native flashed his upside back in 2022, boasting a 3.21 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through 21 appearances (eight starts). However, he declined over a larger sample (32 starts) before his injury (4.31 ERA, 1.37 WHIP).
