Oviedo sidelined with flexor strain, six-week throwing shutdown for Red Sox
Red Sox right-hander Johan Oviedo has a flexor strain and will be shut down from throwing for six weeks, avoiding surgery but likely delaying his return after his 2023 Tommy John procedure. Even after the rest period, he’ll need time to ramp back up. Boston’s rotation will work around him with Crochet, Gray, Suárez, Early and Bello in the mix, while Sandoval and Crawford begin rehab starts and Payton Tolle is in Triple-A.
