Johnny Cueto has emerged as the Cincinnati Reds' No. 1 starter this season, but his seven-game suspension has forced the team to look elsewhere for a starter Sunday.

The Reds hope their former ace of the future can do an admirable job filling in.
Cincinnati still has high expectations for one-time top prospect Homer Bailey, who tries to complete a three-game sweep of the visiting Florida Marlins on Sunday in his first major league start in nearly three months.Watch Florida Marlins vs Cincinnati Reds Live Stream MLB Broadcast | Major League Baseball 15/8
Cincinnati (66-51) will call on Bailey (1-2, 5.51 ERA) to step in, and they're hoping the No. 7 overall pick in the 2004 draft can finally flash the promise he showed as a minor league phenom. The right-hander went on the disabled list in late May with right shoulder inflammation, but is 2-1 with a 1.44 ERA in four games -- three starts -- rehabbing in the minors.
"I was healthy and getting my pitch count up, (and) obviously I was throwing well," Bailey told the Reds' official website. "I will just do whatever they say."
Bailey will likely end up in the bullpen when Cueto returns -- he's never been a reliever -- but for now he'll concentrate on trying to help his team finish off the Marlins (57-58). Bailey gave up five runs and eight hits -- two homers -- while walking four in 5 1/3 innings of a 5-3 loss at Florida on April 14.
Hanley Ramirez and Dan Uggla, though, are a combined 0 for 10 against Bailey.
While Cueto can't return until Aug. 21, manager Dusty Baker will be back from his two-game suspension Sunday.
The Reds haven't missed him too much. Cincinnati beat the Marlins 7-2 in Friday's opener, then escaped with a 5-4 victory Saturday to once again pull even with the Cardinals atop the Central.
Up 5-3 entering the ninth, closer Francisco Cordero loaded the bases with a hit and two walks before a double play helped him out of the jam.
"It wasn't pretty," said Cordero, who's walked nine in his last 6 2/3 innings. "I've got to stop walking people. I see how upset the fans are."
Anibal Sanchez (9-7, 3.33) tries to help his team avoid its first road sweep since dropping three games against the Mets from June 4-6, and he's been awfully tough to hit away from home recently. Sanchez followed his one-hitter at San Francisco on July 29 by holding Washington to two unearned runs over 6 2/3 innings Tuesday, outdueling rookie phenom Stephen Strasburg in an 8-2 win.
"Anibal had control of the game from the first pitch," manager Edwin Rodriguez told the Marlins' official website. "Another very strong outing from Anibal."
Sanchez, 2-0 with a 0.66 ERA in two starts against the Central, is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in two career games versus Cincinnati.
