Johnny Cueto Stats

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Johnny Cueto was asked to pitch in relief during Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. Starting pitcher Michael Kopech (knee) was unable to get through the first inning due to injury. That being said, Cueto was asked to pitch five innings out of the bullpen. This was his second relief appearance of his career. Cueto allowed three runs and gave up six hits, but soaked up five innings. The fact Cueto was forced to pitch in this game means that his next start is going to be pushed back.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Johnny Cueto got touched up for five earned runs on Saturday as his club fell to the Cubs 5-1.

He finished the night allowing nine hits and three walks while striking out two over 6 2/3 IP, tossing 98 pitches as his record dipped to 0-1. Through three starts the veteran holds a 2.41 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with a 14/7 K/BB as he looks ahead to a matchup with the Blue Jays next week.

The Chicago White Sox purchased the contract of right-hander Johnny Cueto from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday and optioned infielder Danny Mendick to Charlotte in a corresponding move. Cueto is scheduled to start the series opener against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The White Sox need some rotation help with Lance Lynn (knee) out until early June. The 36-year-old two-time All-Star didn't sign with the Pale Hose until April, so he needed some time in the minor leagues to get his arm stretched out. Cueto shouldn't be restricted from a pitch-count perspective, but he did have a 5.17 ERA and 1.21 WHIP while walking four and striking out 17 in 15 2/3 innings over four outings for Charlotte. Those in deep mixed and AL-only leagues might want to take a chance on Cueto, but don't expect too much.
