Johan Oviedo Optioned On Tuesday
4 years agoThe St. Louis Cardinals optioned relief pitcher Johan Oviedo to their alternate site on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, relief pitcher Kodi Whitley was called up to take Oviedo's roster spot. Oviedo threw 65 pitches in Sunday's game and the Cardinals simply needed a fresh bullpen arm, as playing with a short pen may have cost them Monday's game. Oviedo could be right back up as soon as the required 10 days are up. He'll continue to pitch in middle relief once he returns.
