There are not many choices since Johnny Cueto's strained oblique ruined the Reds' pitching plans.

Mat Latos, who pitched four innings when Cueto couldn't continue game one, would have to work with just three days rest.

Mike Leake could be activated and take Cueto's roster spot but then Cueto would not be able to pitch in the next series, should the Reds win one of the next two games.

"The options are Latos and Leake probably," Dusty Baker said.  "It would be Latos pitching with three days rest for the second time in a row.  Those are our options right now."

The Reds' are still talking it over.

"It's very difficult but it all depends if you ace can't go," Baker said.

Cueto was re-examined earlier today.  The doctors opinion is the key to whether or not Cueto pitches again in the series.

"We are going to do what's best for Johnny," Baker said.  "So you have to go with healthy bodies.  You hate missing him.  That's part of the consideration, you know, is going without him.  We realize what's at stake and that's part of the decision."
