Overview
- Johan Oviedo went on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right elbow strain after a March 30 outing in Houston where his fastball averaged 93 mph, down from 95-plus last season.
- The right-hander reported severe stiffness the next morning and said he could not bend his arm by Wednesday, prompting further tests.
- Oviedo will see Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday, the surgeon who rebuilt his elbow in 2023, to determine the severity and whether additional treatment, including possible surgery, is needed.
- First baseman Triston Casas will resume hitting off a tee Monday after a short shutdown for an intercostal strain that surfaced during late-March swings.
- To cover innings and build depth, Boston recalled Tyler Uberstine from Triple-A for his MLB debut, Patrick Sandoval starts a Double-A Portland rehab Sunday, and Kutter Crawford is tracking toward his own minor-league assignment.
