I think he should be okay, just keep a close eye on him. this one time happened to my hamster when he was so excited about a treat I was giving him he climbed right into his water bowl without even realizing! and that was with a niteangel water bowl which are very small and made to avoid these types of things. so it can really happen to anyone. my hamster was totally fine and dry within a few hours.
I think you should still have a source of water in the cage in case he doesn't get enough hydration from the cucumber. Maybe use a teaspoon/tablespoon instead of a bowl so he doesn't get as wet if it happens again. I know people do this on this forum and it works really well for them. just make sure it's on a hard surface and hopefully he'll think its too small to jump into.
