Scouting Report: Johan Oviedo
Boston Red Sox | SP
Overall
Summary
Johan Oviedo, a 29-year-old right-handed pitcher acquired by the Boston Red Sox from the Pittsburgh Pirates in the offseason, is currently on the 60-day injured list with a right flexor strain. He was placed on the IL after just one appearance in early April and was initially expected to be shut down for six weeks. As of May 8, 2026, he remains sidelined and will be reevaluated by Dr. Keith Meister (who performed his previous Tommy John surgery) in approximately two weeks to determine the next steps in his recovery. Oviedo has not resumed baseball activities and underwent imaging tests that revealed inflammation requiring continued rest. The Red Sox are awaiting clarity on his status and timeline for return.
