Cueto (elbow) will make a rehab appearance Saturday at Triple-A Sacramento, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic Bay Area reports.
Manager Bruce Bochy alluded to the possibility of Cueto needing a rehab start before returning, and now it has been confirmed by the club. Cueto has been out since April 28, and Saturday's outing is the beginning of a three-start rehab assignment as he gets stretched back out, according to Matt Kawahara of The San Francisco Chronicle. Cueto is expected to be capped at 40 pitches Saturday.
