As I suspected, Latos and Cingrani are flopped in the rotation thanks to the Monday off. That would mean Cueto should go Friday if he is ready. Cingrani would then be skipped and probably sent back to Lousyville.
Latos will pitch Thursday, Cingrani scheduled for Friday in Philly. So it depends on Cueto's rehab.

Tony Cingrani 'wouldn't be surprised' if he's sent down
Reds starter Tony Cingrani said he "wouldn't be surprised" if he's demoted once Johnny Cueto is ready to return.
The other candidate to be demoted, Mike Leake, is a four-year veteran in the majors, and veteran status could play a role in the move. Manager Dusty Baker has been encouraged by Cingrani's strong start. "The silver lining is he's gotten extended time here, so the lining is that he's put us in a position to win," Baker said. Cingrani has a 2.89 ERA and a 4.10 FIP in five major-league starts this season.
