Getting second opinion
Oviedo (elbow) will seek a second opinion April 7 after an initial MRI was inconclusive, MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Ovideo was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday following a diminished-velocity appearance out of the bullpen last Monday when he allowed four runs, six hits, two home runs and walk over 3.2 innings. The right-hander will meet with Dr. Keith Meister, who performed Tommy John elbow surgery on Ovideo in late 2023. That surgery forced him to miss the entire 2024 season and a good chunk of 2025.

Lands on IL with elbow strain
The Red Sox placed Oviedo on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right elbow strain, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis
Oviedo's velocity in his first appearance out of the bullpen was down considerably, and the IL move offers an explanation. Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Oviedo has undergone X-rays and an MRI, and those results would be compared to previous imaging, per Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston.
