WASHINGTON — Still expressing relief that he didn’t need Tommy John surgery, Giants right-hander Johnny Cueto threw off a mound for the first time since beginning his rehab from an elbow injury.

He threw 35 pitches in the bullpen before Friday’s series opener at Nationals Park and said he’d like to return about the time he’s eligible to come off the disabled list, which is June 30.
