Dusty Baker was livid when a report suggested that Johnny Cueto was close to surgery.
"That guy must know more than our doctors and medical staff," Baker said. "The pain he felt wasn't even in his elbow. It was in the biceps."
Still Cueto has missed enough work that his first start that was supposed to be April 3 against Milwaukee will have to wait until he is stretched out.
There is no need to rush him and create more problems when, Mike Leake, Matt Maloney, Sam LeCure and yes Dontrelle Willis capable of getting outs.
"You don't want your depth to be used this soon, but you can look at it like you're lucky to have it," Baker said.
Cueto left for Cincinnati Sunday morning so that Dr. Timothy Kremchek could check him out.
"We don't want to jump to any conclusions," Baker said.
