Cueto (personal) will start Friday's game against the Dodgers' minor league team, C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Analysis:

Manager Bryan Price recently said he thinks Cueto will be ready for Opening Day, as the right-hander only missed a couple of starts while dealing with a family matter in the Dominican Republic. Assuming Friday's outing goes off without a hitch, Cueto should be ready to take the hill Apr. 6 against Francisco Liriano and the Pirates.
