SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants placed right-hander Johnny Cueto on the 10-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation before Tuesday night's game against the Padres.
In a corresponding roster move, the club recalled left-hander Andrew Suarez from Triple-A Sacramento.
The Giants could struggle to overcome an extended absence for Cueto, who entered Tuesday with the lowest ERA in the Majors (0.84), sporting a 3-0 record with 26 strikeouts, six walks and 16 hits allowed in 32 innings spanning five starts.
