Johnny Cueto threw a career-high 125 pitches on April 22. He nearly matched that total by throwing 123 pitches on May 9, when he was left in to start the bottom of the ninth after the Reds scored seven runs in the top of the inning to take a 10-1 lead. Now Cueto has a stiff elbow, which resulted in him being scratched from his scheduled start Sunday. It’s uncertain whether he’ll be ready to take his next turn on Saturday.
