Reds activated RHP Johnny Cueto from the 15-day disabled list.

Cueto spent the minimum amount of time on the DL with a strained lat, an injury he's dealt with a couple times this season. The right-hander has been terrific this season when healthy, posting a 2.17 ERA over six starts. He'll get the ball on Sunday against the Brewers.

The Reds are hoping that Johnny Cueto (lat) will be ready to rejoin the rotation on Sunday.

Cueto threw a 35-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday without any issues. "I felt really good," Cueto said after the throwing session at Wrigley Field. "I feel ready now." The right-hander will throw again on Friday before the Reds determine whether he's ready to rejoin the rotation. It appears that Tony Cingrani will receive just the one start on Tuesday.

Reds placed RHP Johnny Cueto on the 15-day disabled list with a right lat injury.

Cueto missed a little over one month earlier this season because of lat and oblique issues. The Reds aren't guessing on a timetable for his return this time around. Pedro Villarreal was recalled from Triple-A Louisville to start on Wednesday against the Rockies but Tony Cingrani should be the guy going forward.

Johnny Cueto has been scratched from Wednesday's start against the Rockies.

No word yet on why he's been held out, but the Reds should provide an update on his status soon. Pedro Villarreal has been recalled from Triple-A Louisville to start in his place.

Jonny Cueto dominated the Pirates on Friday night, allowing just one hit over eight shutout frames as part of a 6-0 victory.

Cueto walked one, struck out six, and faced the minimum after the first inning. He may have come out to pitch the bottom of the ninth if the Reds didn't have a lengthy turn at-bat in the top of the inning. Either way, he has turned in back-to-back impressive outings and now owns a 2.17 ERA and 34/13 K/BB ratio in 37 1/3 innings through six starts this season. He'll square off against the Rockies at home next week.

Johnny Cueto was dealt a tough-luck no-decision Sunday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball in a loss to the Cubs.

Cueto gave up only four hits, walked two and struck out two, including Darwin Barney with his 106th and final pitch to escape a jam in the seventh. The right-hander wasn't that sharp in his first start back from the DL, but he looked good in this one. He'll take a 2.76 ERA and 1.06 WHIP into Pittsburgh next weekend.

Reds activated RHP Johnny Cueto from the 15-day disabled list.

Cueto wound up missing a little over one month with a strained right lat and oblique soreness. He will return to the Reds' starting rotation on Monday against the Mets and can be activated immediately in fantasy leagues.

Johnny Cueto - S - Reds

Johnny Cueto (lat, oblique) has been cleared to return to the Reds' rotation on Monday in New York.

Cueto threw five shutout innings Tuesday in a rehab start with the Low-A Daytona Dragons and deemed himself fully healthy afterward. He was placed on the disabled list April 15 with a strained right lat and then later began experiencing oblique soreness. But all is well now. The Reds haven't decided whether Mike Leake or Tony Cingrani will be demoted to clear a rotation spot.

Johnny Cueto - S - Reds

Johnny Cueto (lat, oblique) said he's "feeling ready" to rejoin the Reds' rotation after tossing five shutout innings Tuesday in a rehab start with Low-A Dayton.

Cueto gave up three hits, didn't walk anyone and punched out four. He threw 58 pitches before heading to the bullpen afterwards to throw 23 more, giving him a total of 81 pitches for the night. The righty's fastball topped out at 94 mph. Cueto certainly seems ready to rejoin the Reds' rotation early next week, but the team has yet to make a decision.

Johnny Cueto - S - Reds

Johnny Cueto (lat, oblique) will make his next rehab start on Tuesday, likely again at Low-A Dayton.

After throwing 50 pitches on Thursday, Cueto is expected to up his pitch count to around 80 on Tuesday. Assuming he makes it through the outing alright, he could be ready to rejoin the Reds' rotation, possibly putting him in line for a May 19 return. The Reds don't have concrete plans for his return yet, though. "I don’t control that, I don’t know what they want," Cueto said. "They’ll decide what kind of routine I’m going to have next time."

Johnny Cueto (lat, oblique) allowed one run on four hits and no walks while striking out four in a rehab start for Low-A Dayton Thursday.

Solid results, but the Reds don't really care as long as he felt fine, and there's been no indication that he didn't. Since he threw only 50 pitches, Cueto will need at least one more rehab start in order to get stretched out more. He could rejoin the Reds' rotation next weekend.

Johnny Cueto - S - Reds

Johnny Cueto (oblique) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session Thursday.

Cueto was scratched from Friday's rehab start due to oblique soreness, but he had no issues during a 25-pitch bullpen session on Monday. It's not clear when he'll resume a rehab assignment, but he's moving in the right direction.
