Career

On July 2, 2016, Oviedo signed with the St. Louis Cardinals as an international free agent and was assigned to the DSL Cardinals. He split 2017 with the Johnson City Cardinals and the State College Spikes. In 2018 he was promoted to the Peoria Chiefs, where he would spend the season and spent the 2019 season with the Springfield Cardinals.

Oviedo was assigned to the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds to begin the 2020 season, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Minor League Baseball did not have a season and was added to the newly formed 60-man player pool.

Oviedo was selected to the active roster on August 19, 2020 and made his MLB debut that day.[1] Over five starts with St. Louis, he went 0-3 with a 5.47 ERA, striking out 16 over ​24 2⁄3 innings.
