The Pittsburgh Pirates have announced that RHP Johan Oviedo is being put on the 60-day injured list due to a lat strain. The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Justin Lawrence, who the Bucs claimed off waivers from the Colorado Rockies on Monday.

Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Oviedo sustained the lat injury, in his latest live BP pitching session. 

Oviedo has been with the Pirates since August of 2022, this after being obtained from the St. Louis Cardinals, as part of the Jose Quintana trade.

In 2023, Oviedo made 32 starts for Pittsburgh, posting a 4.31 ERA, along with a 2.1 bWAR.

The 27-year-old native of La Habana, Cuba underwent Tommy John surgery - causing him to miss the entirety of the 2024 season.

With the recovery from elbow surgery, as well as the newest injury to his lat, Oviedo likely won’t return to game action until middle part of the season. Because Oviedo has one minor league option remaining, he should get sent to AAA Indianapolis, once he’s fully healthy.
