"Right-handed pitcher Johan Oviedo, along with left-handed pitcher Tyler Samanieg and minor league catcher Adonys Guzman, were acquired from the Pirates by the Red Sox in a trade for one of Boston's top hitting prospects (outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia) and minor league right-handed pitcher Jesus Travieso. Oviedo, who turns 28 in March, was a part of the Pirates' starting rotation last season and appears to be in line to get a similar role with the Red Sox this year."
"As a result of the lat injury, Oviedo didn't make his season debut with the Pirates until early August. He made just nine starts in 2025 as well, posting a 2-1 record with a 3.57 ERA, 1.215 WHIP, and 42 strikeouts over 40 2/3 innings pitched. One of those outings came against the Red Sox, giving up two runs on three hits, three walks, and three strikeouts in five innings pitched."
