DAYTON, OHIO-The Cincinnati Reds official website, reds.com, is reporting today that pitcher Johnny Cueto will start for the Dayton Dragons on Thursday, May 9th on an injury rehabilitation assignment.

Cueto is on the Reds 15-day disabled list with a strained right lat muscle. He has not pitched since April 13.

He made his big league debut with the Reds in 2008. In 2012, Cueto went 19-9 with a 2.78 ERA for the Reds, just missing the honor of becoming the Reds first 20-game winner since 1988.
