A Sore tight elbow will shutdown Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto for the start of the season.

Cueto flew back to Cincinnati and had an MRI that found inflammation in the shoulder. He had to leave his last two spring training starts because of soreness. Doctors have advised him not to throw for at least a week.

The Reds plan to leave him behind to work out in Arizona when they head north to start the season against Milwaukee on March 31.

The injury forces manager Dusty Baker to change his rotation. He's now planning to go with Edinson Volquez, Homer Bailey, Bronson Arroyo, Travis Wood and Mike Leake.
