Cueto (4-5) took the loss during Thursday's 3-2 defeat at the hands of the White Sox, allowing three runs on 11 hits with four strikeouts in eight innings.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto kept the ball in the zone all game with 76 of 106 pitches going for strikes and issued zero walks for the third time in 15 turns, though the 11 hits are the most the 36-year-old has surrendered. Still, he induced an impressive 12 swinging strikes and was only done in by a rough seventh inning that featured two runs and four singles with two failing to leave the infield. Despite the loss, Cueto still features a 2.91 ERA and 1.19 WHIP and lines up to face off against Kansas City midweek.

Cueto didn't factor into the decision during Saturday's 3-2 win against the Athletics, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk with two strikeouts in seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto was tagged for two solo shots early but limited the damage thereafter -- retiring 10 of the final 11 batters he faced -- and Chicago eventually rallied to erase a potential loss. The 36-year-old has now posted six straight quality starts, and he's gone 2-0 with a 2.48 ERA across 40 innings in that span, though he's struck out a combined two batters over his last two starts. Cueto carries a 2.86 ERA and 1.17 WHIP into his next start, scheduled to come midweek against Texas.

Cueto tossed seven innings, giving up four runs (three earned) on eight hits and a walk in the Game 1 loss to the Guardians in Saturday's doubleheader. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto skated in and out of danger Saturday, allowing eight hits for the first time since May 28 versus the Cubs. The Guardians were able to scratch across all four runs in the fourth frame, all of which came with one out in the inning. Thanks to one of the runs being unearned, Cueto's streak of quality starts is up to five. He's now produced a 2.00 ERA with 13 strikeouts over 27 innings in four starts in July.

Cueto (4-4) earned the win over Minnesota on Thursday, pitching six innings and allowing one run on seven hits and two walks while striking out five batters.
EDGE Analysis
The outing got off to a rocky start for Cueto, as he left the bases loaded in the first inning and surrendered a run on three hits in the second. The veteran settled down from there, allowing just three more baserunners and ending the appearance with a flourish by striking out the side in the sixth frame. Cueto has now notched a quality start in nine of his 12 outings this season and in each of his last four. He's enjoying a resurgent campaign with a 2.80 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 58:20 K:BB over 74 innings.

It was his longest outing of the season, and he has now turned in six quality starts across his last eight starts. Cueto has been an effective member of the White Sox's rotation, maintaining a 2.91 ERA and a 53:18 K:BB across 68 frames on the season.

Cueto allowed two runs on five hits and five walks while striking out three over six innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Cueto walked a season-high five batters, he was lucky to come away with his third quality start in his last four outings. The veteran threw 57 of 93 pitches for strikes, and he's completed at least six innings in eight of his 10 appearances this year. For the season, he owns a 3.30 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 48:18 K:BB across 60 innings. Cueto will look to regain his control this weekend in a home start versus the Tigers.

Cueto (2-4) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk with five strikeouts in six innings, earning the win Tuesday over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto was plagued by the long ball in the third inning, allowing solo home runs to Andrew Velazquez, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. The White Sox's offense came to life in the fifth, and Cueto was able to avoid any further damage to pick up his second win of the year. Both of his victories have come in his last three starts. The veteran right-hander has a 3.33 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 45:13 K:BB in 54 innings across nine appearances (eight starts) overall. Cueto is projected for a home start versus the Twins next week.

Cueto (1-4) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in 5.1 innings, taking the loss versus the Orioles on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto was cruising until the fourth inning, when Adley Rutschman tagged him for a two-run home run. It was Rutschman who added a third run to Cueto's line with an RBI double in the sixth. While it wasn't a particularly sharp outing for the 36-year-old right-hander, he can't win if he doesn't get run support. He's allowed nine runs in 23.1 innings in his last four appearances, and he's got a solid 3.19 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB in 48 innings overall. Cueto is in line for a road start versus the Angels next week.

Cueto (1-3) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out five over seven shutout innings, earning the win Saturday over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto's last outing was in a long relief appearance, but he was back in the rotation as expected Saturday. He turned in his longest start of the season, and it was also one of his most dominant as he gave up almost nothing to the Astros. The 36-year-old had given up at least three runs in each of his last four outings before Saturday's gem. He's pitched to a 2.95 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB across 42.2 innings in seven games overall. He's lined up for a favorable home start versus the Orioles next week.

Cueto allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four in five innings of relief Sunday against Texas. He did not factor into the decision in the team's loss.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto was scheduled to start Monday in Detroit but came on in the third inning after Michael Kopech left with a knee injury. He got off to a rocky start, allowing a single on his first pitch and a two-run homer to Eli White two pitches later. After another run scored in the fourth, he retired 10 of the last 11 batters he faced. The 36-year-old has amassed a 3.53 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 35.2 innings in six appearances since joining Chicago in May.
