Reds starting pitcher Johnny Cueto said he will be able to come off the disabled list June 16, the first day he is eligible, as his lat injury is not as serious as the last one. Cueto missed more than a month from April 13 through May 20 due to a similar injury.
He told the Cincinnati Enquirer Wednesday he has been able to continue to throw through the injury, and does not plan to change his delivery to avoid future injuries.
"I talked to the doctors," he said. "They explained to me that they don't think this is something to do with my mechanics, so I don't think I'll change. Now, if they told me the oblique area, I'd think abut changing my mechanics. This is some little, insignificant thing."
