Oviedo was traded from the Pirates to the Red Sox in exchange for Jhostynxon Garcia and an additional player Thursday,Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After acquiring Sonny Gray earlier in the offseason, the Red Sox remained aggressive in upgrading their rotation this winter. Oviedo rehabbed from Tommy John surgery for much of the 2025 season, though he managed to join the Pirates' rotation for the final two months of the campaign. In nine starts, Oviedo managed a 3.57 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with a 42:23 K:BB across 40.1 frames. Control has been a consistent concern for Oviedo throughout his 361.0 innings in the big leagues, but he should be a decent back-end starter for the Red Sox.

Oviedo (2-1) allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss Sunday versus Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Oviedo gave up a two-run home run to Ronald Acuna in the first inning, and that was ultimately enough to prevent the right-hander from staying undefeated this season. He was rarely bad but also failed to stand out in his nine starts, walking exactly three batters on seven occasions while failing to complete six frames in any outing. Overall, he finished with a 3.57 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 42:23 K:BB over 40.1 innings, which is a fine performance after returning from a December 2023 Tommy John surgery.

Oviedo did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win over the Reds. He allowed two runs on two hits and three walks over 4.2 innings while striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Oviedo coughed up a two-run shot to Elly De La Cruz in the second inning but otherwise didn't face much trouble. It was Oviedo's fifth straight time issuing three walks, and he's done so in six of his eight starts this year. However, he set new season bests with seven punchouts and 12 swinging strikes, including four with his fastball. Oviedo is not expected to make another start this season, which means he will likely end the year with a 3.57 ERA and a 39:20 K:BB through 35.1 frames. He did not make his season debut until Aug. 4 after recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Oviedo didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The Cubs got to Oviedo early Wednesday, scoring four runs on four hits in the first inning, including a pair of homers. However, the right-hander managed to settle in and blank Chicago over his final four frames, allowing just one additional hit. The four runs mark the most given up by Oviedo through seven starts this season. His ERA sits at 3.52 with a 1.24 WHIP and 32:17 K:BB across 30.2 innings.

Oviedo did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Orioles, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Ovideo's 5.2 innings pitched mark a season high in five starts since rejoining the Pirates in August. The right-hander has yet to allow more than two runs in an outing, posting a 2.81 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP and 29:14 K:BB across 25.2 innings overall. Oviedo's currently lined up to face the Cubs at home in his next outing.

Oviedo came away with a no-decision in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Brewers, allowing one unearned run on one hit and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander left the mound after 78 pitches (45 strikes) with the Bucs clinging to a 2-1 lead, but the bullpen cost Oviedo his third win almost immediately. He's been impressive in four starts since joining the rotation in late August, posting a 1.89 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB through 19 innings, but he has yet to last more than five innings or reach 80 pitches in any outing. Oviedo is scheduled to make his next start on the road next week in Baltimore.

Oviedo (2-0) picked up the win in Saturday's 10-3 victory over the Red Sox, giving up two runs on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was lifted after 79 pitches (48 strikes), sticking around just long enough for the Pirates' offense to erase an early 2-1 deficit, and then some. Oviedo has looked good in three starts since rejoining the rotation, posting a 2.57 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB over 14 innings. He'll look to stay sharp in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.

Oviedo (1-0) earned the win Wednesday over the Blue Jays, allowing a run on two hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
George Springer's homer to lead off the game proved to be the lone mark against Oviedo, as the right-hander proceeded to hold Toronto to just one additional hit over his final four innings en route to his first major-league win since 2023. The 27-year-old Oviedo had pitched to a 3.12 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB across eight starts (26 innings) in the minors this year. He should get a chance to stick in Pittsburgh's rotation, following Wednesday's performance -- Oviedo is currently lined up to face the Cardinals on the road his next time out.

The Pirates recalled Oviedo from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Oviedo is set to rejoin the Pirates rotation with a start Wednesday against the Blue Jays. The right-hander was tagged for two runs over just one inning in a start earlier this month for Pittsburgh but had permitted four runs (three earned) with a 15:3 K:BB across 8.2 frames in his last two outings with Indianapolis.

Pirates interim manager Don Kelly said Tuesday that Oviedo will be recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to start Wednesday against the Blue Jays at PNC Park, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oviedo should be given a chance to stake claim to a rotation spot for the remainder of the season. The right-hander lasted only one inning in a start earlier this month against the Giants, which was his first big-league outing since September 2023. Oviedo has pitched well in two starts at Indianapolis since then, however, yielding four runs (three earned) with a 15:3 K:BB across 8.2 frames.
