Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Oviedo missed all of the 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. It was a disappointing setback after showing he showed signs of promise across 32 starts in 2023, allowing two or fewer earned runs on 18 occasions. On the other hand, he still experienced plenty of inconsistency, as he also allowed five or more earned runs on six occasions. The primary culprit for that inconsistency is Oviedo's lack of control (10.6 BB% in 2023), something that is only likely to worsen upon his return to the mound due to his long layoff. Another concern is his usage in 2025, as the strength of the Pirates' roster is their pitching staff. That could set Oviedo up to pitch out of the bullpen or to begin the season in the minors as he has one remaining option available. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Pirates in January of 2025.
Sharp in latest rehab start
Oviedo (lat/elbow) struck out five and allowed one earned run on four hits and no walks over five innings in his most recent rehab start Thursday with Double-A Altoona.
Analysis
Oviedo made the fifth start of his rehab assignment Thursday and came through with his lengthiest and best outing yet, tossing 63 pitches (42 strikes) while generating 10 of his 15 outs via strikeout or groundout. The right-hander is likely to move up to Triple-A Indianapolis for his next appearance, and if he's able to surpass the 70-pitch mark in that outing, he could then be cleared to return from the 60-day injured list. The Pirates don't appear to have an opening for Oviedo in the rotation at the moment, but a spot could open up if Pittsburgh elects to move at least one of Mitch Keller, Bailey Falter or Andrew Heaney ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
Oviedo got his first opportunity as a starter across a full season in the majors in 2023, which was characterized by inconsistency. Judging solely by his surface stats, he allowed five or more earned runs in six of 32 starts. On the other hand, he allowed two or fewer earned runs on 18 occasions. The end result was a 4.31 ERA paired with a 1.37 WHIP across 177.2 innings. Unfortunately, news emerged early in the offseason that Oviedo was dealing with elbow inflammation, and shortly thereafter it was announced that he would undergo Tommy John surgery -- meaning he won't take the mound again until 2025. His only potential appeal would be in dynasty or deep keeper leagues, but there should be significant concerns about his skills after returning from surgery. More specifically, his 10.6 BB% was a problem that contributed to his inconsistent results in 2022, something that could only worsen once he is able to return.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On upward trajectory
Oviedo has generated three straight quality starts, lowering his season ERA to 2.22 through 24.1 innings.
Analysis
A rough first outing is inflating Oviedo's numbers, but the 25-year-old has allowed just two runs over his last three starts -- two of which yielded wins. The Pirates are one of the hottest teams in baseball, and Oviedo's fantasy outlook gains a ton of appeal if the team's bats keep providing run support. Oviedo hinted at reliability last season, logging a 3.21 ERA across 56.0 innings with St. Louis and Pittsburgh.
