Johnny Cueto experienced back tightness while throwing a bullpen on Tuesday and is now doubtful to pitch versus the Dodgers this weekend. (John Shea on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Cueto was set to return from Tommy John surgery this weekend but that will have to wait for now. The good news is the setback is with his back, not his elbow. Cueto could be an interesting streaming option if he pitches this season.
