JOHNNY CUETO NEWS

Lands on injured list Cueto was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right flexor strain Wednesday, retroactive to Aug. 9.

Impact Cueto gave up four runs (three earned) in 5.1 innings during Sunday's start against the Brewers, but he was apparently dealing with an injury that may have contributed to his struggles. The right-hander missed nearly a month with a lat issue earlier in the season, but manager Gabe Kapler said that the 35-year-old's current injury is considered minor, and the team hopes he'll be able to return after missing just one start, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports. The Giants haven't yet announced who will take Cueto's spot in the rotation.

Takes no-decision Sunday Cueto allowed four runs on five hits and a walk with three strikeouts in 5.1 innings versus Milwaukee on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact For the fifth straight start, Cueto failed to get through six innings. The 35-year-old was in line for the loss when he exited, but San Francisco pulled off another comeback to get him off the hook. The right-hander's ERA ticked up to 3.98 with a 1.28 WHIP and 92:24 K:BB through 104 innings this season. He lines up for a home start versus Colorado next weekend.

Struggles in loss Tuesday Cueto (7-6) took the loss Tuesday versus Arizona. He allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and four walks with seven strikeouts in five innings.

Impact The right-hander allowed 10 or more baserunners for just the third time in his 18 starts this year. Arizona got all three of its runs in the second inning, and San Francisco's offense was unusually quiet while failing to cover the damage. Cueto hasn't gone more than six innings in any of his last six outings. He has a 3.83 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 89:23 K:BB through 98.2 innings. The veteran will attempt to get back on track in Milwaukee this weekend.

Silences Dodgers over 5.2 frames Cueto (7-5) picked up the win Thursday after holding the Dodgers scoreless across 5.2 innings. He allowed four hits and a pair of walks while striking out five.

Impact Cueto turned in one of his best starts of the year against a volatile Dodgers lineup. After coughing up 11 home runs in his last eight starts, the right-hander turned things around by blanking his opponent for just the third time this year while running his fastball up to 95 mph. With the successful outing, Cueto improves to a 3.84 ERA and 1.25 WHIP on the season. He's tentatively slated to take the mound again in a favorable matchup on the road at Arizona on Tuesday.

Coughs up three runs Cueto yielded three runs on three hits and a walk over five innings in Friday's loss to Pittsburgh. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Cueto allowed an RBI triple to Gregory Polanco in the second inning but most of the damage against him came via Bryan Reynolds' two-run homer in the third. He's given up 11 long balls in his last eight starts. The veteran righty saw his ERA climb to 4.09 with a 77:17 K:BB through 16 starts. Cueto is lined up for a tough home matchup against the Dodgers next week.

Tosses five strong innings Cueto allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings Sunday against the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Cueto's lone mistake came in the third inning when he surrendered a solo home run to Paul DeJong, giving the Cardinals an early 1-0 lead. The 35-year-old certainly pitched well enough for the win but the Giants went cold for a second straight game, managing only a run. Cueto has had some trouble with the long ball. He allowed just two over his first eight starts but has given up 10 over his last seven. He'll take a 4.01 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 70:16 K:BB into his next start, which is projected to be at home against the Pirates this week.

Goes six innings in loss Cueto (6-5) took the loss against St. Louis on Tuesday, hurling six innings and allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out eight.

Impact The right-hander was jolted for a two-run first-inning homer by Nolan Arenado. He gave up another pair of runs in the fourth inning and departed in the sixth trailing 4-3. The Giants were unable to catch up, sticking Cueto with his second straight loss. The veteran has produced unexciting numbers this season, including a 4.15 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 8.2 K/9. His next start will likely come in a rematch versus the Cardinals immediately following the All-Star break.
