Rays purchased the contract of RHP Juan Carlos Oviedo, placed him on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury.

Oviedo is working his way back from Tommy John surgery and will miss most, if not all, of the 2013 season. The Rays obviously have decided he's worth hanging onto in hopes he can contribute in 2014.

Marlins transferred RHP Juan Carlos Oviedo from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The move cleared a spot on the 40-man roster. Oviedo was diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow in July and is scheduled to see Dr. James Andrews this week. It's possible he could need Tommy John surgery, which could put him at risk for missing the entire 2013 season.

Juan Carlos Oviedo will have his right elbow examined by Dr. James Andrews this week.

Oviedo was diagnosed in July with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament and apparently isn't progressing as well as hoped. It's possible Andrews could recommend Tommy John surgery, which would potentially knock the reliever out for the 2013 season.

Marlins activated RHP Juan Carlos Oviedo; placed him on the 15-day disabled list with a right elbow sprain.

Oviedo was activated because his eight-week suspension for falsifying his identity came to an end. However, he suffered a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing elbow during a tuneup outing in the minors and isn't expected to pitch this season. It isn't yet known if he'll opt for Tommy John surgery.
