Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto was activated from the disabled list to start Monday's game at Houston. It was his first start since June 28 as he's coming off a lat injury.

Cueto earned the win in his return as he was outstanding over five innings and 82 pitches. The starter moved to 5-2 on the year as he gave up just five hits and one walk with five strikeouts in his return to the mound. His ERA is at 3.02.

It is unknown if the Reds will allow Cueto to make another start just yet. He's not currently scheduled for one, though he could take the mound Sunday at Pittsburgh.
