Juan Carlos Oviedo has not yet arrived at Rays' camp due to visa issues. Fellow reliever Juan Sandoval is also stuck in the Dominican Republic because of visa problems. Oviedo has been limited to just three rehab innings over the last two seasons due to injury, so the Rays are surely hoping to get a look at him soon.

Rays re-signed RHP Carlos Oviedo to a one-year, $1.5 million contract. The deal is now official. Oviedo, formerly known as Leo Nunez, spent the 2013 season rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. The deal includes another $1.4 million with incentives, so he could max out at $2.9 million if all goes well. He could be in the mix at the closer role for Tampa Bay next season, though the recently-acquired Heath Bell might be the favorite.

According to Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish, Juan Carlos Oviedo is expected to receive a major league contract from the Rays. The deal won't be announced until later in the week, and terms of the contract have yet to be disclosed, but it will presumably be for less than the $2 million option the Rays declined. With the uncertainty at the back of the Rays bullpen, it's not unthinkable that Oviedo could work his way into save opportunities at some point this season.

Juan Carlos Oviedo (elbow) had to be shut down from throwing for a few days recently because of lat soreness. It doesn't appear to be a major setback, but it won't help Oviedo's chances at returning next month to fill a role in the Rays' bullpen. Tampa would probably view his return as an unexpected bonus at this point.
