Giants Place Johnny Cueto On 10-Day DL

By Steve Adams | April 10, 2018 at 8:42pm CDT

The Giants have placed right-hander Johnny Cueto on the 10-day disabled list due to a sprained ankle he sustained in a workout over the weekend, as Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area writes. The move is retroactive to April 7. Left-hander Steven Okert is up from Triple-A to give the team an extra arm for tonight’s game against the D-backs, and southpaw Andrew Suarez will be promoted tomorrow to make his Major League debut in what would’ve been Cueto’s spot in the rotation.

While Cueto’s injury doesn’t sound serious, it’s nonetheless the latest blow in a series of rotation injuries that have hindered the Giants early on in the season. Madison Bumgarner has yet to pitch this season due to a fractured finger that he sustained in Spring Training, while Jeff Samardzija has also yet to make his season debut owing to a pectoral injury. Pavlovic does relay some good news for Giants fans, as Samardzija is slated to make a rehab appearance on Saturday and should be activated for his next turn in the rotation after that.

In many respects, Cueto is off to a solid start to the 2018 season, having yielded just one run on nine hits and two walks through his first 13 innings. However, Cueto’s velocity has dipped from an average of 91.3 mph last season to just 90 mph thus far, and he’s managed to strike out just five batters while posting an uncharacteristically low seven percent swinging-strike rate.

Suarez, meanwhile, was the Giants’ second-round pick back in the 2015 draft. The University of Miami product has made just one Triple-A start this season but impressed there in 2017, tossing 88 2/3 frames with 8.1 K/9, 2.7 BB/9 and a 49.2 percent ground-ball rate following a promotion from Double-A, where he’d also impressed. San Francisco is already turning to its top pitching prospect, Tyler Beede, to make his MLB debut tonight, and they’ll follow him with another of the farm’s most promising young hurlers in Suarez — giving fans a potential glimpse of the future. MLB.com ranks Suarez as the Giants’ No. 10 prospect, calling him a high-floor prospect who should at the very least settle in as a back-of-the-rotation starter.

    Lmao Blach, Stratton, Holland, Beede, and Suarez. A AAA starting rotation. Cueto and samardzija will return in the next 2 weeks though. Bumgarner in may/June

      Yeah, super difficult to make an argument for any of those guys to be any more than a serviceable #5.

      No depth really at any position on that roster. SF needs to stay healthy or this year will be a total bust.

      And yet each one of them except Suarez, who debuts tonight, have already delivered at least one good start against some very good lineups so far. Everyone has been predicting doom and gloom all offseason, yet here they are at .500, despite losing the top 3/5 of their rotation, and holding 2nd place in the West.

      Because Cueto misses 2 starts? Giants already won the first start he missed.

    Brutal. The Giants needed a lot to break right this year and so far the opposite has happened.

    Hopefully if Beede makes more than this one start we will get to see a couple more interviews with his mom. Babe alert.

    Everyone quit ur effing whining. S*** happens. What team can anyone think of that’s lost their top 3 starters….tick tick…yes, no one. But they’re .500 and they ain’t hitting. This ain’t 2017. They’ll get by. No magic wands available. Let’s see how they do. No ones dog died (I hope anyway).

    Buck up or shut up. Jeeeeeeez

      It’s because there are no actual baseball fans on this site. Only a bunch of analytics nerds who think they can predict everything before it happens.
