GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds have blocked ace Johnny Cueto from pitching for the Dominican Republic in next month’s World Baseball Classic.

Cueto strained his right oblique eight pitches into last October’s division series against San Francisco. Because he finished the year with an injury, the Reds had the right to block him from playing in the WBC.

Cueto was 19-9 with a 2.78 ERA in 33 starts during the regular season

The Dominican Republic is in Group C with Puerto Rico, Spain and Venezuela.
