Expected to be activated Monday
Oviedo (lat/elbow) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list and start Monday's contest on the mound versus San Francisco, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis
Oviedo missed all of the 2024 season and the entirety of the 2025 campaign to this point while recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in December 2023. Additionally, he suffered a right light strain during spring training. The right-hander most recently made a rehab start with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, allowing one run on two hits, while striking out five batters over five innings. Oviedo only threw 62 total pitches in his outing with Indianapolis, and he'll likely face a workload restriction in his first major-league outing of the year.

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.
