SAN DIEGO (AP) San Francisco Giants right-hander Johnny Cueto was placed on the disabled list Monday with a sprained right elbow, and manager Bruce Bochy said there’s a ”strong possibility” he will need reconstructive surgery.The issue with Cueto http://www.piratesfanproshop.com/authentic-jung-ho-kang-jersey , who has been limited to nine starts this year, has ”been lingering quite a while,” Bochy said before the Giants opened a two-game series against the Padres. ”We battled it, we fought this elbow issue, had it looked at Francisco Cervelli Jersey , it’s just not going away. If that’s the case, where he does have surgery, Tommy John, then I’m sure he’d like to get that behind him. Again, I hate to talk about that because that has not officially been determined yet.”The 32-year-old Cueto is 3-2 with a 3.23 ERA.
