Oviedo heading to camp Monday: Miami relief pitcher Juan Oviedo will report to the team's spring training site in Florida on Monday to begin his return back to the majors, according to the Palm Beach Post. Oviedo had been caught playing under a fake identity and his arrival back in American had been in doubt. He said Friday that he had received a visa from the U.S. government and would be in Miami on Monday. (Updated 05/25/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Oviedo, 30, said he has to serve a suspension for using the false identity but he's not yet certain of the length. Oviedo used the name Leo Nunez for seven major league seasons. He said he did it in order to play professionally. He has a $6 million, one-year contract with the Marlins, who have kept him on the restricted list. He will serve a setup man once he returns to Miami, but is not worth reserving in any Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/25/2012).
09/22/2011 20:50 Marlins closer suspended; Nunez might not be his real name
Florida Marlins closer Leo Nunez has been playing under an assumed name, and the issue prompted him to return Thursday to his native Dominican Republic, two people familiar with his immigration status said.
09/21/2011 21:58 Vazquez baffles Braves; wild-card lead down to 1 1/2
Javier Vazquez allowed only two hits in seven innings Wednesday against his former team, and the Florida Marlins played the spoiler's role by beating Atlanta 4-0.
09/13/2011 00:00 Stanton's single in 12th lifts Marlins past Braves
Mike Stanton's pinch-hit single in the 12th inning drove in the go-ahead run and the Florida Marlins beat Atlanta 5-4 on Monday night to extend the Braves' slump.
Safe to say Leo Nunez -- er, Juan Carlos Oviedo -- is entering a transitional phase of his career. Sure, he's losing his closer role to big-money free agent Heath Bell, but of greater concern, he has a completely different name. The world learned in September that the right-hander had been pitching under a false identity for the last 10 years, leading to a stint on the restricted list and a world of trouble in the Dominican Republic. But with his legal battles nearing an end, the Marlins are confident that Oviedo will be able to return in time for the regular season, when he'll happily settle into a setup role after recording 92 saves over the last three seasons. At least, the Marlins say that's the plan, but you can bet they're talking trade with the teams that still need a closer. Until Oviedo is in a position to secure saves, he's useless in standard mixed leagues, but his name is one to remember -- or learn, rather -- given his history. (Updated 1/25/12)
