The SF Giants officially placed starting pitcher Johnny Cueto on the injured list with a strained lat on Friday. To take his place on the big-league roster, right-handed reliever Camilo Doval was promoted from the alternate site. While Doval was placed on the taxi squad late last season, he has never reached the majors before. Logan Webb will take Cueto’s place in the starting rotation.
