Johnny Cueto Injury: Changes on Whites Star's Arm

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto left Saturday's National League Central road clash with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fifth inning with an obvious right triceps injury. The news was broken by michael Sanserino of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Cincinnati Enquirer's John Fay offered the details behind Cueto's leave. To that place, Cueto had yielded just two hits and one earned run and struck out three batters to help keep the Reds knotted at 1-1 at PNC Park. Cueto entered the competition with a file and a ERA in the fresh 2013 season, and Cincinnati will certainly expect that its star hurler will not be out of the turn for too much time. The 27-year-old is coming off a lifetime career season, when he went 19-9 with a stellar 2.78 ERA, and he's sporting likewise reliable form thus far. The Reds currently game a 5-5 history and will undoubtedly be keeping their collective breath over this latest potential setback suffered by Cueto. He's a history of injuries, including a distinctive biceps injury that caused him to skip 33 games in 2011. A moderately drained oblique suffered after only nine pitches into last year's postseason was element of what stymied the team's bid to make a heavy playoff run. Cueto couldn't start Game 4, that the final World Series champion Bay Area Giants won 8-3. They proceeded to shut out the Central Division champ Reds in five games. Cueto's analysis on Sunday will be crucial in shaping how the Reds' season will go for the near future.
