Reds manager Dusty Baker said Wednesday starting pitcher Johnny Cueto is back on the disabled list with a lat injury similar to the one that landed him on the disabled list from April 15-May 20. Though, Baker is counting on a shorter stay on the DL this time around.
"It’s the same thing," Baker said, per the Cincinnati Enquirer. "It’s not nearly as serious. We’ve got to get rid of whatever’s there. It’s injury he had before. He felt it a little bit after the game in Pittsburgh. He told us after the game he felt it again. It’s not nearly as bad. Being cautious is the way to go at this thing. He’ll miss one to two starts. If he feels better, it’ll be one."
