LUIS OVIEDO NEWS

Resumes throwing Oviedo (quadriceps) has resumed throwing on flat ground and the slope of the mound, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact Oviedo landed on the 10-day injured list with a left quad strain Thursday, but he was able to start throwing again less than a week later. A better timetable for the right-hander's return could come into focus once he's cleared to throw a full bullpen session and resume running.

Placed on injured list Oviedo was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left quad strain Thursday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact Oviedo hasn't pitched since Sunday, and he's apparently been dealing with an injury that will force him to miss additional time. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. Right-hander Trevor Cahill (calf) was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Earns win Friday Oviedo (1-1) threw an inning while allowing one run (zero earned) on one hit and a walk but picked up the win against the Giants on Friday.

Impact Oviedo was called upon to pitch in the 11th and allowed the Giants to retake the lead on a RBI single by Austin Slater. The Pirates were able to tack on two in the bottom half of the inning and escape with a victory, which allowed him to pick up his first career major league win. Oviedo has still shown massive struggles through his first eight appearances, surrendering 11 runs in 12.2 innings while owning a 7.82 ERA and 1.58 WHIP.

Throws two clean innings Oviedo allowed two walks and one hit in two scoreless innings of a 3-0 loss to St. Louis on Sunday.

Impact The Rule 5 pick pitched for the first time since April 15. In the two outings since he gave up five runs in 1.2 innings to San Diego on April 12, the team has used him in low-leverage situations. The organization has committed to pitching Oviedo sparingly. As a result, he likely won't offer much to fantasy managers in the short-run.

Impressive debut Oviedo struck out one batter in a scoreless eighth inning of Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Cubs.

Impact The Rule 5 pick mixed a mid-90s mph fastball with a low-80s off-speed pitch to keep the Cubs guessing. The 21-year-old, who had never pitched above High-A ball prior to Saturday, showed why the team acquired the former Cleveland pitcher from the Mets over the winter. He's expected to appear in low leverage situations, at least until he gains a bit more experience in the majors.

Shipped to Pittsburgh Oviedo was traded from the Mets to the Pirates for a player to be named later or cash, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Mets selected Oviedo with the ninth pick in Thursday's Rule 5 draft and then quickly flipped him to the Pirates. Oviedo was once a top-200 prospect as a member of Cleveland's organization but has battled arm injuries and command issues in recent years. However, he was recently sitting in the mid-90s with his fastball in winter ball. Look for him to pitch out of the Pirates' bullpen in 2021.
