Johnny Cueto returned to Scottsdale to be evaluated by San Francisco Giants doctors after he was hit in the forehead by a line drive Monday night.

The Giants initially said he was taken to a hospital for precautionary reasons before clarifying that team doctors were handling his care.

"We are going to monitor him tonight, tomorrow for concussion symptoms, but he's shown no sign of that, so he's just being treated for a contusion," Bruce Bochy said. "He responded well out there. It's why he stayed in the game; he answered all the questions from our trainer out there. ... He wanted to stay out there. We did take him back to have our docs look at him at our complex."

Cueto was struck by a ball hit by Oakland Athletics' Billy Burns. He underwent a quick check of his ability to continue, then completed the inning.
