Cueto (groin) has not been ruled out for Sunday's start, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Manager Bruce Bochy indicated Wednesday that Cueto would likely be pushed back if not skipped outright, but he backtracked a bit Thursday. The skipper said Cueto's groin is improving and even said the right-hander could start without a side session as a prerequisite. Cueto was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain after leaving Tuesday's game.
