Cueto (7-7) gave up one run on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over five innings, picking up the victory over the Rockies on Wednesday.
Fantasy owners may have understandably shied away from starting Cueto at Coors Field in just his second outing back from the disabled list, but those bold enough to activate him were rewarded with a solid showing. The 31-year-old's season has been marred by injuries and underwhelming results (4.43 ERA), but his excellent track record and healthy return from the DL (2.61 ERA and 4.5 K/BB ratio in two starts) make Cueto an intriguing asset down the stretch.
