Johnny Cueto Has Chance To Return This Season
5 years agoSan Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) impressed the coaching staff during his bullpen session on Saturday, and manager Bruce Bochy said there's a chance that the veteran hurler returns later this season. "He threw really, really well," Bochy said. "I think he surprised a lot of us with where he's at as far as his stuff, how hard he threw, his command." Cueto has lost around 20 pounds and looks to be in excellent shape during his rehab from Tommy John surgery. He has thrown five bullpen sessions and has also started throwing his changeup off flat ground. Even if Cueto returns this year, he won't be able to give fantasy owners more than a handful of starts in a best-case scenario.
