Reds starter Johnny Cueto (lat) is expected to undergo an MRI exam Friday, MLB.com reports. Cueto has yet to resume throwing since landing on the disabled list for the third time this season on June 29.
"If it shows improvement, he may start throwing as well," head trainer Paul Lessard said. "But it all depends. His strength numbers are better than they have been. His last scan [last Friday] still showed the strain was maybe 75 percent healed. We're hoping it's a little closer to zero before we start a throwing program."
