JOHAN OVIEDO NEWS

Slated to start Friday The Cardinals will call up Oviedo from Triple-A Memphis to start Friday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact With Miles Mikolas (forearm) having recently returned to the injured list and the Cardinals' next off day not coming until June 7, Oviedo will join the big club while it temporarily rolls out a six-man rotation. Oviedo has previously made four appearances (three starts) for St. Louis this season, posting a 5.74 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB in 15.2 innings. After Friday's outing, Oviedo will presumably make another start during next week's series in Cincinnati before he likely heads back to Memphis.

Dropped from active roster Oviedo was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Impact Oviedo was quite poor in his latest outing, lasting just two innings in his start Friday against the Padres while giving up three runs, walking five batters and hitting another. He now owns a 5.74 ERA through three starts and one relief appearance. Junior Fernandez was recalled in a corresponding move.

Walks five in two innings Oviedo (0-2) took the loss Friday, allowing two runs on two hits and five walks over two innings as the Cardinals fell 5-4 to the Padres.

Impact Making his fourth start, Oviedo struggled with his control, loading the bases with no outs in the third inning. He's struggled as a spot starter for St. Louis and isn't a viable fantasy option until he can find the plate with more consistency.

In line to start Friday The Cardinals list Oviedo as their probable starter for Friday's game against the Padres.

Impact Unless he's needed in relief for the final two games of St. Louis' ongoing series with the Brewers, Oviedo will slot into the rotation this weekend as a replacement for Carlos Martinez (ankle), who was moved to the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Oviedo performed respectably in his three outings (two starts) with St. Louis earlier this season, but he was battered in his most recent appearance at Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, surrendering five earned runs over 2.2 innings.

Promoted to big club The Cardinals recalled Oviedo from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Impact St. Louis summoned Oviedo from the minors as a replacement for Carlos Martinez (ankle), who was moved to the 10-day injured list. Martinez had been in line to make a start this weekend in San Diego, so Oviedo could be plugged into the rotation in the short term if he isn't needed out of the bullpen for the Cardinals' upcoming three-game series with the Brewers. Oviedo has previously made three appearances (two starts) for St. Louis this season, posting a 4.61 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings.

Sent down by Cardinals Oviedo was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

Impact Oviedo started the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets and was charged with the loss after he gave up four runs on five hits and no walks while striking out two in four innings. He'll now attempt to sort things out in the minors but could return to the Cardinals as a spot starter at some point. Outfielder Lane Thomas was recalled in a corresponding move.

Gives up four runs in Game 2 Oviedo (0-1) was tagged with the loss in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets after allowing four runs on five hits while fanning two across four innings.

Impact Oviedo gave up two long balls -- a two-run shot to Tomas Nido in the second inning and a solo shot to Jonathan Villar in the fourth -- and that was enough to saddle him with his first loss of the campaign. Oviedo has only made three appearances this season but has given up at least three runs in each of his last two outings. The sample size is small, but Oviedo has a 4.61 ERA after allowing seven runs across his 13.2 innings in 2021.

Tuesday's game postponed Oviedo won't start Tuesday against the Mets since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 23-year-old was recalled from the alternate site to start Tuesday's contest, but the game won't be played as scheduled. The contest will be made up via a straight doubleheader Wednesday, and Oviedo figures to take the mound in one of those contests.

MAY 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Officially called up The Cardinals recalled Oviedo from their alternate training site Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Reliever Jordan Hicks (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list to create an opening on the active roster for Oviedo, who is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Mets. The Cardinals are in the midst of a stretch of 17 games in 17 days, so manager Mike Schildt has temporarily elected to expand the rotation to six men. St. Louis will get a much-needed off day May 10, so Oviedo may only get one start before heading to Triple-A Memphis.

Expected to start Tuesday Oviedo is expected to be called up to start Tuesday against the Mets, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact Oviedo hasn't been in the minor for the required 10 days, so someone will have to be place on the injured list if he's to return Tuesday. He's made one start and one relief appearance this season, posting an 11:4 K:BB over 9.2 innings while allowing three earned runs.

Optioned off roster Oviedo was optioned off the Cardinals' active roster Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Oviedo was recalled to make a spot start Wednesday against the Phillies and did well enough, allowing three earned runs in five innings while striking out seven. He could return later in the season when the Cardinals need another starter, but for now, reliever Seth Elledge will take his place on the roster.

Punches out seven Oviedo allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven across five innings Wednesday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Oviedo surrendered a two-run homer to Brad Miller in the fifth inning, which soured what was an otherwise solid outing. He generated an impressive 17 swinging strikes to back up his seven punchouts. It's unclear what the team has planned for Oviedo both in the short- and long-term this season, though it would likely have to stick with a six-man rotation for him to remain a starter in the immediate future.
