INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - A good chunk of the 2022 campaign has featured Johan Oviedo coming out of the St. Louis Cardinals bullpen to strong success.
Oviedo, who was acquired in the deadline deal that sent José Quintana and Chris Stratton to the Cardinals, is viewed by the Pirates as a long-term starter. He is currently in Indianapolis, getting stretched out, and is fine with the plan.
