Cueto allowed a run on three hits and a walk with three strikeouts over 2.1 innings during Thursday's 5-4 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been a starter for virtually all of his career, but he finds himself on the outside of San Francisco's rotation after returning from an elbow injury. Cueto logged the most innings of any Giant after starter Scott Kazmir (hamstring) only got one out. For the year, Cueto has a 4.08 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 98:30 K:BB in 114.2 innings. It's unclear if he'll enter the postseason as a starter or a bulk reliever, but it's trending toward the latter.
