Giants' Johnny Cueto: Feels great after bullpen session

Cueto felt great after throwing a 65-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, and he is still a candidate to join Team Domincan Republic in the WBC, CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

Cueto was a few weeks late reporting to Giants' camp after being with his ill father back in the Domincan Republic. The long layoff put his status for the WBC in doubt, but the 2016 All-Star insists that he still wants to pitch in the tournament. He said that he wants to make two Cactus League starts before making a final decision. The positive news for fantasy owners is that Cueto felt great after his lengthy bullpen session Wednesday and the lengthy layoff shouldn't affect his status for the start of the season.
