With the injury to Cueto being something the Reds have known about since his start in Pittsburgh, I'm just wondering why they didn't have Tony Cingrani skip his scheduled start for Louisville last Sunday as a "just in case".

No idea. Seems that they like to wait for the ship to hit bottom before starting to bail water.

It makes no sense at all. You'd think they'd want to get Cingrani as much experience as possible up here -- even if it's just a couple more starts -- but I guess not.
I'm not one to doubt Walt or Dusty very much. But this one has me really scratching my head. If they were caught totally off guard by the injury to Cuteo, I could understand. But it seems to me if you know you have a possible developing situation with Cueto, u skip Cingrani in case u need him tonight.

TC is a pro player on a schedule too

Come on, man. The ultimate goal is to do whatever you have to in order to support the big league club. Backing Cingrani off 3 days would have hurt absolutely nothing and given the Reds an insurance policy at the same time. From the way it sounds, they knew Cueto missing a start was a real possibility.

Thom and Chris said that Cueto first brought it to the Reds' attention during his throwing day.

Is there any doubt after tonight that Cingrani needs to make Cueto's next start?

It's not like Pedro gave them a solid 5 or 6 innings, he gave up 6 ER and 3 HRs and couldn't make it out of the 4th inning. There were times he looked okay but he left a lot of balls up in the strike zone and those pitches ended up getting crushed by Gonzalez and Tulowitzki.
I'm not saying he's a zero, but Cingrani gives them a much better shot at winning and ultimately that'll be the only determining factor.
