It's not clear how many rehab starts he will make before returning to the big club, but given his expected pitch count, it's likely he will throw at least one more after Friday. As of now, it appears Cueto will rejoin the Reds around the middle of this month.","date":"Wed May 1"},"fullName":"Johnny Cueto","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Two improvements have vaulted Cueto into the upper tiers of the starting pitching ranks: One is his continually dropping walk rate; his walks-per-nine rate has dropped in each of his five big-league seasons, his 2.03 number last year was 15th out of 88 ERA qualifiers. The other is increased stamina; his innings per start has risen every year, and his 6.58 number in the category ranked him 14th in the majors in 2012. He has finally arrived as a leading man for NL-only owners, and No. 2 option for those in mixed, despite having to call a hitter-friendly ballpark his home. There's no need for matchups-seeking here; Cueto is 16-for-24 in quality starts with 14 wins, a 2.21 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 24 games at Great American Ball Park the past two seasons combined. He also had 25 quality starts on the road during that span, third-best in baseball, with a 2.86 ERA, meaning he's no worry there, either. If you didn't begin to last season, it's time to believe in him as one of the game's best.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.4,"positionRank":78}
