It appears the Giants are losing a starter
:
Giants starter Johnny Cueto, who was supposed to combine with Madison Bumgarner as one of the best one-two rotation punches in baseball, appears headed for Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery, which would end his season and keep him out for most of 2019 as well.
“There has not been something determined yet, but it’s fair to say there’s a strong possibility of having surgery,” manager Bruce Bochy said Monday before the Giants’ game against the Padres at Petco Park.
Cueto, signed to a six-year, $130 million contract before the 2016 season, went on the disabled list in late April with a partially torn ulnar-collateral ligament, the injury that requires Tommy John reconstruction, but attempted to rehabilitate the arm without the operation.
Cueto is 32 years old, so there is a real possiblity he never returns from this operation.
