JOHNNY CUETO NEWS

Hits six innings in rehab start Cueto (biceps/ankle) tossed six innings Monday in his rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville, allowing five earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two.

Impact After building up to 94 pitches Monday in what was the fifth start of his second rehab assignment of the season, Cueto appears ready to return from the 60-day injured list, at least from a workload standpoint. However, the Marlins may not view him as a better back-end rotation option than Bryan Hoeing, given Cueto's underwhelming numbers during his prolonged rehab assignment. Over four starts with Jacksonville and two with Double-A Pensacola, Cueto has logged a 10.50 ERA and 1.96 WHIP and has struck out just 10 batters over 24 innings.

Another rehab start Monday Cueto (biceps/ankle) is scheduled to make another rehab start Monday with Triple-A Jacksonville, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cueto seems to be recovered from the biceps injury that sent him to the IL in early April and the ankle sprain he suffered in his early-May rehab debut, but the Marlins want to see better results from him on the farm. The veteran right-hander has been lit up for 17 earned runs in 13 innings across his last three rehab outings.

Next rehab outing set for Thursday Cueto (biceps/ankle) is scheduled to make his next rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Jacksonville, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cueto is targeting around five innings or 75 pitches in the third start of his rehab assignment after he most recently covered 3.2 innings for Double-A Pensacola last Friday while allowing four runs on seven hits and zero walks. Assuming Cueto gets through the upcoming rehab outing unscathed, he could be cleared to return from the 60-day injured list next week to make his Marlins debut. With Edward Cabrera (shoulder) recently joining Trevor Rogers (biceps/shoulder) on the IL, the Marlins should have a spot in the rotation available for Cueto.

Allows grand slam in rehab start Cueto (biceps) allowed four runs on seven hits in 3.2 innings in a rehab start for Double-A Pensacola on Friday.

Impact He threw 42-of-62 pitches for strikes, and all four runs came via a first-inning grand slam, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports, and he retired 10-of-13 hitters after the homer. Cueto likely will need at least one more rehab start before he's able to return to the Miami staff, but he could be making starts for the Marlins before the start of July.

JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches third inning in rehab start Cueto (biceps/ankle) resumed his rehab assignment Sunday with Double-A Pensacola, working 2.2 scoreless innings while allowing four hits and one walk.

Impact Cueto has been cleared for game action once again after he was previously pulled off his initial rehab assignment more than a month ago after suffering a left ankle sprain in his lone outing with Triple-A Jacksonville on May 6. Though he was able to keep Double-A Montgomery off the board Sunday, Cueto was far from dominant, as he failed to strike out a batter and needed 45 pitches to record his eight outs. Cueto will likely get stretched out to around 90 pitches over the course of two or three more rehab starts before the Marlins determine his next step, but the veteran right-hander may not be guaranteed a spot in the rotation once he's reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for live batting practice Cueto (biceps) will throw live batting practice Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cueto has been out since early May with a right biceps injury. It would appear he's not far off from a rehab assignment, although there's no timetable for the veteran right-hander's return at the moment.

JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws bullpen session Cueto (biceps) threw a 40-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cueto has resumed mound workouts in his ongoing recovery from a right biceps injury that sent him to the injured list in early May. He might be an option again for the Marlins' starting rotation before the end of June.

MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to 60-day IL Cueto (biceps) was transferred Tuesday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact This is mostly just a procedural move to clear out a 40-man roster spot for outfielder Jonathan Davis, who has been selected to the Marlins on Tuesday. Cueto is making progress in his recovery from a right biceps injury, but there is no set timetable for his return. He's eligible for activation in early June.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

To be reevaluated soon Cueto (biceps) is playing catch up to 105 feet and will be "reevaluated for mound activity later this week," Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cueto resumed playing catch last week, and it may not be long until he is ready to take the next step in his recovery. The Marlins figure to release another update on his status after he undergoes his next check-up.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes playing catch Cueto (biceps/ankle) has resumed paying catch, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cueto was in "no throw" mode last week, but the right-hander is now able to at least play catch while he recovers from a sprained ankle on top of the right biceps injury that has bothered him since the start of the year. Cueto will likely need to make a couple of rehab starts at least before he's ready to join the Marlins, and that isn't likely to happen until the start of June.

MAY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains in no-throw mode Cueto (biceps/ankle) remains in no-throw mode as of Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cueto suffered a sprained left ankle during his last rehab start May 6 at Triple-A Jacksonville, piled on to the right biceps injury that has been plaguing him since the spring. He has logged only one appearance for the Marlins this year and there is no timetable for when he might make his second one.

MAY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with ankle sprain Cueto suffered a sprained left ankle during Saturday's rehab start, Noah Berger of FishStripes reports.

Impact Cueto was forced to exit the outing after an awkward fall, and he's since been diagnosed with an ankle sprain to go along with the right biceps injury that sent him to the injured list. A timetable for Cueto's return is unknown at this time.

MAY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits rehab start with injury Cueto (biceps) left Saturday's rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville with an apparent lower-body injury, Fish on the Farm reports.

Impact He fell awkwardly after trying to cover first base on a play in the third inning. Cueto gave up six runs on eight hits while striking out zero batters in 2.1 innings before suffering the injury. He allowed four home runs against Triple-A Memphis in what could have been his only needed tuneup before joining the big-league rotation, however that seems unlikely given the quality of the performance and the fact he exited with an injury.

MAY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

First rehab start coming Saturday Cueto (biceps) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Impact The two-time All-Star has been on the shelf since suffering a right biceps injury in his Marlins and season debut April 3. Cueto reportedly threw 60 pitches in a start at extended spring training last week, so if he can build on that workload when he takes the hill for Jacksonville on Saturday, he may not require any further rehab outings beyond that. Once the Marlins decide that he's ready to return from the IL, Cueto will likely replace Bryan Hoeing in the rotation.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for extended spring start Cueto (biceps) is scheduled to throw 60 pitches in an extended spring training game Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cueto covered three innings in a simulated game Wednesday and is now ready to take another significant step forward in his recovery from a right biceps issue. He made just one start for the Marlins before landing on the injured list April 4, but the veteran right-hander seems to be trending toward a return by mid-May.

APRIL 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three innings in extended spring Cueto (biceps) is slated to throw three innings in an extended spring training game Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact If that does well, Cueto could be ready for an official rehab assignment after that. The veteran right-hander has been limited to just one start this season because of a biceps issue which initially cropped up during spring training.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for extended spring start Cueto (biceps) is scheduled to pitch in an extended spring training game Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cueto has made it through a couple of bullpen sessions without issue and will now begin building back up in live competition. The veteran right-hander was placed on the injured list April 4 due to a biceps issue that first flared up in spring training. Assuming there are no setbacks, he could return to the Marlins' rotation around early May.

APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for extended side session Cueto (biceps) is scheduled to throw a 35-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cueto will presumably throw all of his pitches during the side session, and if all goes well, he could be cleared to face hitters later this week. The veteran right-hander will likely need multiple minor-league rehab starts or simulated games to build up for starting duties, so he appears to be trending toward a May return from the 15-day injured list at this stage.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

To throw bullpen Saturday Cueto (biceps) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday at the Marlins' spring training complex, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact It's good news that Cueto is ready to throw off a mound again, 10 days after landing on the IL because of a biceps issue, but the belief is that he will be brought back slowly after his spring buildup was affected by the same injury. The veteran right-hander could still miss several more weeks if that is indeed the plan.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

To miss several weeks? Cueto (biceps) could be sidelined for several weeks, Barry Jackson and Craig Mish of the Miami Herald report.

Impact Marlins manager Skip Schumaker expressed optimism last week that Cueto would only require a minimum-length stay on the 15-day IL, but the veteran right-hander will essentially have to start from scratch with his buildup after missing most of spring training. He certainly won't be ready for activation when first eligible next Wednesday. Cueto is dealing with a biceps issue that first popped up in mid-to-late March.

Marlins place pitcher Johnny Cueto on IL

The Miami Marlins placed veteran pitcher Johnny Cueto on the 15-day injured list because of right bicep tightness

APRIL 4, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hoping for minimum IL stint Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said he's hopeful Cueto (biceps) will only require a minimum stay on the 15-day IL, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact But the skipper also added that Cueto needs to be built up properly after he aggravated a lingering biceps issue in his Marlins debut Monday against the Twins. The veteran right-hander was placed on the injured list Tuesday, with Braxton Garrett getting the call from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

APRIL 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 15-day IL Cueto (biceps) was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cueto dealt with some biceps trouble during spring training and it began barking again in his Marlins debut Monday against the Twins, prompting a second-inning exit. There's no word yet on a timetable for the veteran right-hander's return. Braxton Garrett could slide into his rotation spot.
