Raley Field to welcome another Giants starter this weekend

For the second time in three days, River Cats fans will get to see one of the Giants on the mound.

Johnny Cueto will start in a rehab assignment at Raley Field on Saturday, when the River Cats host the El Paso Chihuahuas. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. The start comes two days after Jeff Samardzija threw against El Paso.

Cueto, who will make his third appearance in West Sacramento, was 3-0 in five starts for the Giants and led the majors with a 0.84 ERA before being placed on the 10-day disabled list May 1 with a sprained right elbow.
