Cueto (biceps) will throw live batting practice Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto has been out since early May with a right biceps injury. It would appear he's not far off from a rehab assignment, although there's no timetable for the veteran right-hander's return at the moment.

Cueto (biceps) threw a 40-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto has resumed mound workouts in his ongoing recovery from a right biceps injury that sent him to the injured list in early May. He might be an option again for the Marlins' starting rotation before the end of June, though there's no exact timetable at the moment.

Cueto (biceps) was transferred Tuesday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is mostly just a procedural move to clear out a 40-man roster spot for outfielder Jonathan Davis, who was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. Cueto is making progress in his recovery from a right biceps injury, but there is no set timetable for his return. He's eligible for activation in early June.

Cueto (biceps) is playing catch up to 105 feet and will be "reevaluated for mound activity later this week," Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto resumed playing catch last week, and it may not be long until he is ready to take the next step in his recovery. The Marlins figure to release another update on his status after he undergoes his next check-up.

Cueto (biceps/ankle) has resumed paying catch, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto was in "no throw" mode last week, but the right-hander is now able to at least play catch while he recovers from a sprained ankle on top of the right biceps injury that has bothered him since the start of the year. Cueto will likely need to make a couple of rehab starts at least before he's ready to join the Marlins, and that isn't likely to happen until the start of June.

Cueto (biceps/ankle) remains in no-throw mode as of Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto suffered a sprained left ankle during his last rehab start May 6 at Triple-A Jacksonville, piled on to the right biceps injury that has been plaguing him since the spring. He has logged only one appearance for the Marlins this year and there is no timetable for when he might make his second one.

Cueto suffered a sprained left ankle during Saturday's rehab start, Noah Berger of FishStripes reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto was forced to exit the outing after an awkward fall, and he's since been diagnosed with an ankle sprain to go along with the right biceps injury that sent him to the injured list. A timetable for Cueto's return is unknown at this time.

Cueto (biceps) left Saturday's rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville with an apparent lower-body injury, Fish on the Farm reports.
EDGE Analysis
He fell awkwardly after trying to cover first base on a play in the third inning. Cueto gave up six runs on eight hits while striking out zero batters in 2.1 innings before suffering the injury. He allowed four home runs against Triple-A Memphis in what could have been his only needed tuneup before joining the big-league rotation, however that seems unlikely given the quality of the performance and the fact he exited with an injury.

Cueto (biceps) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The two-time All-Star has been on the shelf since suffering a right biceps injury in his Marlins and season debut April 3. Cueto reportedly threw 60 pitches in a start at extended spring training last week, so if he can build on that workload when he takes the hill for Jacksonville on Saturday, he may not require any further rehab outings beyond that. Once the Marlins decide that he's ready to return from the IL, Cueto will likely replace Bryan Hoeing in the rotation.

Cueto (biceps) is scheduled to throw 60 pitches in an extended spring training game Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cueto covered three innings in a simulated game Wednesday and is now ready to take another significant step forward in his recovery from a right biceps issue. He made just one start for the Marlins before landing on the injured list April 4, but the veteran right-hander seems to be trending toward a return by mid-May.
