The Pittsburgh Pirates have officially placed right-hander Johan Oviedo on the 60-day injured list due to a newly discovered lat issue that surfaced during a bullpen session. This unexpected development comes after Oviedo underwent Tommy John surgery in November 2023, which kept him sidelined for the entire 2024 season. Manager Derek Shelton noted that while there were no prior indications of any complications, this injury will delay Oviedo's return until late May at the earliest, thereby opening a roster spot for Justin Lawrence, who was claimed off waivers from the Rockies.
