Cueto to start for Angels at Royals

Johnny Cueto will be back on a big league mound on Wednesday night when the Los Angeles Angels conclude their three-game series with the Kansas City Royals, whom the 38-year-old pitcher helped to carry to a World Series title nearly a decade ago.

Angels manager Ron Washington said before Tuesday night's game that Cueto was being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to make the start. He has not pitched in the majors since last September, when he finished a disappointing season for Miami.


"I don't know if he can come up here right now and start being a leader. He's worried about being Cueto," Washington said, "but if he happens to stay around, I think he definitely can influence our young kids."

The Angels needed some help in the rotation after placing Jose Soriano on the injured list with arm fatigue and losing Patrick Sandoval to surgery on his elbow earlier in the year. Carson Fulmer, rookie Jack Kochanowicz and Griffin Canning have filled out the rotation along with Tyler Anderson, who got the start in Kansas City on Tuesday night.
