Reds manager Bryan Price said he expects pitcher Johnny Cueto to start this Tuesday against the Phillies, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Cueto, who has an elbow injury, threw a successful bullpen session on Sunday.
"I'm mentally ready and prepared to throw on Tuesday, yes," Cueto said via translator Tomas Vera. "Every single pitch was good."
For the season, Cueto is 3-4 with a 3.03 ERA in nine starts.
