		Oviedo has been diagnosed with a right flexor strain and will be shut down for six weeks. The Red Sox are optimistic he can avoid surgery but will need to monitor whether the injury heals with rest. Even if all goes well, he'll require additional time to ramp back up after the shutdown period, pointing to an extended absence. Bruno Mulé Wed, Apr 8th
