GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Right-handed starter Johnny Cueto will miss the start of the season because of an inflamed pitching shoulder, forcing the Cincinnati Reds to juggle their rotation.
Cueto had to leave his last two spring training starts because of soreness in his right arm. He returned to Cincinnati over the weekend for an examination by Dr. Timothy Kremchek and an MRI that found mild inflammation in the shoulder but no significant injury.
"Everything is structurally fine," general manager Walt Jocketty said Monday. "Dr. Kremchek recommended that he not throw for a week to 10 days, then begin a throwing program."

I hope it doesn't become another season long nagging injury type of situation.
