Ovideo (elbow) allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out four for Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.

2d agoRotowire

Ovideo, who began a rehab assignment with the WooSox, threw 30 pitches (20 strikes). It's unlikely he throws again for Worcester, which has been eliminated from the Triple-A International League postseason. That leaves a potential return to Boston, where Ovideo could operate as a multi-inning arm out of the bullpen.

Oviedo (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Oviedo has been out since early April due to a flexor strain in his right elbow, but after building up gradually over the course of the season, he's now ready to test his elbow in a game setting. The 28-year-old will likely require multiple rehab outings before rejoining Boston's bullpen, but the door is open for him to return before the end of the regular season.

Oviedo (elbow) threw a live batting practice session Friday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Oviedo secured a spot in the Red Sox's Opening Day bullpen, making one 3.2-inning appearance March 30, but he hasn't pitched since due to a right flexor strain. Now that he's finally facing hitters again, Oviedo could be close to a rehab assignment. He'll need multiple appearances in the minors to knock off the rust.

Oviedo (elbow) will throw a bullpen session next week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Oviedo has been shelved since April 3 due to a right flexor strain and remains on the 60-day injured list. He's likely still several weeks away from returning to the mound for Boston, although his rehab could be accelerated if he's ticketed for a bullpen role rather than the rotation.

Oviedo (elbow) began a throwing program in mid-June but isn't considered close to a return from the 60-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

Oviedo has been on the shelf since April 3 after sustaining a right flexor strain during a long-relief appearance in his season and Red Sox debut March 30 in Houston. The Red Sox haven't revealed where Oviedo currently stands in his throwing program, but until he's cleared to begin a rehab assignment, a target date for his return from the 60-day injured list won't be available.
