Not starting Game 2 McCutchen isn't in the Pirates' lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Washington.

Impact McCutchen will get a breather to conclude Saturday's activities after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Game 1. Bryan Reynolds will serve as Pittsburgh's DH instead, opening up a spot in left field for Michael Taylor to start while batting eighth.

Returning to action Friday McCutchen (knee) is batting cleanup as the designated hitter Friday against the Nationals.

Impact The 37-year-old was held out of the lineup the past two days due to some lingering knee soreness, but he's ready to rejoin the starting nine Friday. McCutchen was productive when healthy in August, as he had a .368/.457/.737 slash line with four homers in 11 games.

Held out again Thursday McCutchen (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

Impact McCutchen had to be scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Cubs due to lingering left knee soreness, which is the same injury he just returned from last week. He'll miss a second straight start Thursday and is considered day-to-day. Bryan Reynolds will shift into the designated hitter spot for the Pirates while Billy McKinney handles left field.

Still managing knee issue Pirates manager Derek Shelton said McCutchen was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Cubs due to the veteran's knee being "a little cranky," Andrew Destin of the Pittsbur...

Impact The 37-year-old was activated from the injured list late last week after missing some time due to knee inflammation, and the injury is apparently still a bit bothersome. Shelton indicated McCutchen will be available off the bench, so it doesn't appear to be a significant issue.

Scratched Wednesday McCutchen was scratched from the Pirates' lineup ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Cubs, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact It's unknown why Pittsburgh took McCutchen out of its lineup, but the team should offer some clarification in the near future. In the meantime, Oneil Cruz will move into the DH spot while Michael Taylor patrols center field.

Getting breather Sunday McCutchen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact McCutchen will get some routine maintenance for Sunday's matinee game after he served as the Pirates' designated hitter in both of the team's first two games in Cleveland upon being activated from the injured list. The 37-year-old showed no sign of being troubled by the knee issue that forced him to the IL on Aug. 17, as he went 3-for-8 with a home run, a double, a walk, four RBI and two runs in his first two games back in the lineup.

Homers in return McCutchen went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-8 loss to Cleveland.

Impact The former MVP was the designated hitter and batted cleanup in his first action since Aug. 16 due to left knee inflammation. He tied the game at 4-4 in the fifth when he laced a two-RBI double off Ben Lively. However, McCutchen wasn't done yet, cracking a 369-foot solo shot off Emmanuel Clase -- only the second homer the Cleveland closer has allowed all season -- in the ninth inning. Overall, the 37-year-old is now slashing .238/.337/.415 with 17 homers, 61 runs scored and 43 RBI in 442 plate appearances across 102 games.

Hot-hitting Pirates DH Andrew McCutchen placed on 10-day injured list with left knee inflammation

Designated hitter Andrew McCutchen was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday with left knee inflammation

AUGUST 17, 2024 • Associated Press

Placed on IL with knee injury The Pirates placed McCutchen on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a knee injury.

Impact McCutchen suffered the injury in the seventh inning of Friday's game against Seattle while running to first base. The 37-year-old was in the midst of a six-game hitting streak, and over his last 15 outings he's slashed .278/.385/.481 with three home runs and 14 RBI across 62 plate appearances. Oneil Cruz is serving as the designated hitter for Saturday's contest, though Joey Bart has played at DH in three of the Pirates' last seven games, which could mean more starts behind home plate are on the table for Yasmani Grandal. Infielder Alika Williams was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move.
