Pirates call up Johan Oviedo, Cal Mitchell (again)

The Pirates brought back Cal Mitchell, who was sent to Indianapolis on August 9. and are bringing up Johan Oviedo, who came over from the Cardinals in the Jose Quintana trade.

Pirates fans will get their first look at Oviedo tomorrow, as he’ll be starting against the Blue Jays.

the 24-year-old tight-hamder Oviedo made his big-league debut in 2020. He’s been a starter most of the time, although this year the Cardinals used him mostly in relief. He was 2-0 with a 2.66 ERA, 21 strikeouts and a 1.08 WHIP in his 13 relief outings.
