Cueto (blister) scratched from Sunday start
Johnny Cueto - S - Cincinnati Reds

Johnny Cueto has been scratched from Sunday's scheduled start due to a blister on his pitching hand.

The Reds probably hated having him miss a start against the Cardinals, but the fact that they have already taken the first two games of the series softens the blow. Homer Bailey will now start instead, with the Reds hoping Cueto is ready to pitch Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.
