Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto (triceps) completed a 45-pitch bullpen session without any issues Monday and said he believes he is ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment, MLB.com reports. Cueto said he would discuss the next step in his rehab with pitching coach Bryan Price following Monday's workout, which was the second time he has thrown off a mound since landing on the disabled list April 15 with a strained lat muscle.
"It was pretty good, no pain," said Cueto, who has registered a 1-0 record and 2.60 ERA in his first three starts this season. "I threw my breaking ball, everything."
