Johnny Cueto left his start Saturday after just one inning because he was suffering from biceps stiffness. The Reds flew Cueto to Cincinnati yesterday for an arm exam this morning with team doctors. The verdict: “shoulder inflammation,†which seems more like a symptom than a malady, but what do I know?
Heh. According to the Fayman, Cueto will “be shut down for a week, 10 days, then begin a throwing program.”
I submit to you that we know no more today than we knew yesterday, and there is still reason to be concerned. Very concerned.
