For the second time in three days, River Cats fans will get to see one of the Giants on the mound.
Johnny Cueto will start in a rehab assignment at Raley Field on Saturday, when the River Cats host the El Paso Chihuahuas. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. The start comes two days after Jeff Samardzija threw against El Paso.
Cueto, who will make his third appearance in West Sacramento, was 3-0 in five starts for the Giants and led the majors with a 0.84 ERA before being placed on the 10-day disabled list May 1 with a sprained right elbow.
