Cueto, Crawford might be able to return Sunday

Asked how his throwing session went, Cueto replied in Spanish, "Bien [well]."

Bochy has dropped no hints regarding who would replace Cueto if he can't pitch. Speculation continues to surround rookie left-hander Ty Blach and veteran righties Matt Cain and Jake Peavy.

Bochy said Crawford, who dislocated his left pinkie while sliding into third base, was "doubtful" to play Saturday but "possibly" could perform Sunday. Crawford also played catch and was expected to test his injury further by swinging a bat.

With Crawford sidelined, utility man Ehire Adrianza started his third game in a row at shortstop and fourth consecutive overall (he played second base to open this streak).
