Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Oviedo split the 2022 season between the Cardinals and Pirates and posted 56 total innings at the big-league level. By the time he was traded to Pittsburgh, Oviedo had shifted to primarily a relief role, though that changed with the Pirates as his final seven appearances with the club came out of the rotation. He posted a strong 3.23 ERA in that span, but underlying concerns about his walk rate (11.9 percent) were still present. Both his struggles with control and his pitch mix - Oviedo relies primarily on a fastball and slider-suggest his future role could end up being in high-leverage relief. However, the Pirates are still in a rebuild and looking to find long-term contributors, meaning they could give Oviedo - who will only be 25 on Opening Day -- a long look as a starter in 2023.

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.
