Oviedo sidelined with flexor strain, six-week throwing shutdown for Red Sox

Even after the rest period, he’ll need time to ramp back up.

Connelly Early Lands Opening Day Spot as Red Sox Shuffle Rotation

Boston will have one of its top left-handed pitching prospects on the Opening Day roster, with Connelly Early set to break camp and join Johan Oviedo on the active staff, while Payton Tolle is optioned to minor league camp. The Sox face rotation decisions—potentially a six-man plan or an Early/Oviedo tandem—to begin the year in Cincinnati, as both Early and Oviedo showed solid spring momentum and Tolle contributed solid numbers as a rookie-eligible prospect. Early and Tolle qualify for the Prospect Promotion Incentive, which could have implications if Early stays in the majors all season and meets ROY/Cy Young thresholds.
