Johan Oviedo
#292026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile
After missing 2024 recovering from surgery, Oviedo returned to the mound in 2025 with the Pirates, making 9 starts and flashing the talent that made him a breakout candidate years ago. Now with Boston (likely a depth acquisition), he offers a power arm that can swing between the rotation and long relief.
2026 Outlook: Oviedo is a wild card. If he secures a rotation spot, his strikeout potential makes him a deep sleeper. However, command issues have plagued him in the past, and he may start the season in the bullpen or Triple-A depending on the health of the primary starters. Having fully recovered from the Tommy John surgery that wiped out his 2024 campaign, Oviedo's fastball velocity has reportedly ticked back up to the high-90s. He serves as high-upside insurance for a rotation that includes durability risks like Gray and Sale-comp Crochet.

AVG, OBP, SLG, ERA and WHIP are season-to-date through each game, not that game alone — so the column reads as a trend and its last value is the season figure. They stay season-to-date when the log is filtered by opponent; the figure for the filtered games is the one in the Total row. The second game of a doubleheader is marked (2).
