Johnny Cueto Stats

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) is not expected to resume throwing for at least 10 more days, manager Gabe Kapler told reporters on Wednesday. Kapler said he isn't ruling out a regular-season return for the 35-year-old right-hander, who was placed on the 10-day injured list last week with elbow soreness. However, Cueto has had a tough 2021 campaign between sustaining multiple injuries and seeing his ERA balloon to 4.09, so it's probably better for the Giants, and for fantasy managers, that the veteran pitcher takes as much time to recuperate as he needs.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. This shouldn't come as a shock considering manager Gabe Kapler mentioned Cueto was dealing with elbow soreness last week. The hope is that Cueto won't need more than 10 days. However, Cueto has dealt with plenty of injuries throughout his career and the Giants aren't going to rush the veteran back on the mound. Cueto was lit up during his last start on Tuesday, so maybe some time off will help him get back into a groove.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto did not fare well in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers. Cueto, who was placed on the injured list Monday with cold and flu-like symptoms, must have felt well enough to be reactivated, but the results were not good. He pitched 3 2/3 innings, allowing six runs on 10 hits (including a solo home run) and two walks with a strikeout. The veteran has had an up-and-down season and now owns a 7-7 record with a 4.09 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 19.8% strikeout rate. Cueto's next matchup will likely be a tough one against the Dodgers at home. At this point in the fantasy season with so much on the line, Cueto should not be started for this matchup.
