Some good news regarding Johnny Cueto surfaced via the pitcher’s Instagram on Tuesday. Cueto posted two videos of his first bullpen session at the team’s facility in Scottsdale, AZ, since undergoing Tommy John surgery last summer. Cueto is considered to be ahead of the original timetable of a return in September, and is now pegged for a return in early-to-mid August.
According to Bruce Bochy, Cueto threw 25 pitches and is in much better shape than he was last year.
“Right now we’re still looking at the same possibility of the end of the year, and we’ll see what makes sense there,” Bochy said via NBC Sports Bay Area. “But he’s coming along nicely.”
