CHICAGO - The Giants were concerned enough about a new blister on Johnny Cueto's index finger to discuss replacing him from Tuesday night's start, manager Bruce Bochy said, adding the staff will recheck with him in a couple of days to see if he can make his next start Sunday against the Braves.
Bochy reluctantly acknowledged that for now a decision on Cueto will be made start by start.
"We're hoping he gets over the hump with this and he's not dealing with it all year," Bochy said.
Cueto has had a blister on his middle finger all season but that has improved.
