4 years agoThe St. Louis Cardinals are elevating right-hander Johan Oviedo to the rotation on a full-time basis moving forward with righty Daniel Ponce de Leon being optioned to the club’s alternate site. Oviedo has already made two starts this season and produced a 3.60 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. He is ranked as St. Louis’ No. 13 prospect per MLB Pipeline and has averaged 95.4 MPH on his fastball during his early big league stint. Ponce de Leon has struggled mightily this season, having walked 14 batters in 12 ⅔ frames, owning an 8.37 FIP through his first five appearances. Oviedo has DFS appeal in the short term, with Ponce de Leon having little fantasy intrigue.--Jesse Borek
