Andrew McCutchen was scratched from the Pirates' lineup due to pain in his right knee.

It's not clear at this point how McCutchen suffered the injury or if it might cause him to miss additional games. The Pirates should offer an update on his status soon. Starling Marte will move over to center field to cover for McCutchen, while Travis Snider plays left and Garrett Jones right.

Andrew McCutchen - OF - Pirates

Andrew McCutchen delivered a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 12th inning to give the Pirates a 4-3 win over the Brewers on Tuesday night in Pittsburgh.

McCutchen's first hit of the game was also Pittsburgh's last, as the right-hander crushed a Mike Fiers fastball to center field to end it. The home run was just McCutchen's fifth, but he's steadily improved his batting average in recent weeks and the power numbers should soon follow. We're still confident the Pirates star will round into form in short order.

Andrew McCutchen - OF - Pirates

Andrew McCutchen went 4-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

The Pirates' 5-9 hitters went hitless on the night, but McCutchen had four back knocks and Starling Marte, Travis Snider and Garrett Jones each had a hit. Jones' ball left the yard. McCutchen had a .217 average after the April 29 game in Milwaukee, but he's gone 12-for-24 at the dish since then to push his mark up to a respectable .276.

Andrew McCutchen - OF - Pirates

Andrew McCutchen went 4-for-5 with a home run Tuesday, but the Pirates lost to the Brewers.

It was McCutchen's first multi-hit game since April 20, and he hadn't homered in 15 games. We expect the outfielder to get on track soon, with Tuesday possibly serving as the catalyst.

Andrew McCutchen returned to the Pirates' lineup Monday.

McCutchen didn't play on Sunday, but the Pirates were just getting him a breather. He's hitting .226 on the year, so hopefully the day off will get him back on track.

Andrew McCutchen - OF - Pirates

Andrew McCutchen went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Friday's loss to the Cardinals.

In an odd scene, acting manager Jeff Bannister removed McCutchen during a double-switch in the fifth inning. The Pirates were down 5-0 at that point, but the game was far from over. Still, apparently Bannister thought it was best to give the struggling outfielder a breather. McCutchen is hitting just .226 on the year and has only driven in one run over his last 10 games.

Andrew McCutchen - OF - Pirates

Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-4 with two doubles to help the Pirates beat the Braves 3-1 on Saturday.

McCutchen also stole his sixth base of the season while raising his RBI total to 12. He's one of the few five-tool players in the game, and most of those tools were on display Saturday. He may not replicate his stellar 2012, but McCutchen is still one of the best fantasy players going these days.

Andrew McCutchen - OF - Pirates

Andrew McCutchen blasted a solo homer in the seventh inning on Friday, leading the Pirates to a 6-5 victory over the Reds.

McCutchen finished the night 2-for-4 with a run scored and three RBI. He delivered a two-run single in the second inning, then broke a 5-5 tie with his solo blast off J.J. Hoover to lead off the seventh frame. He's hitting .265/.333/.529 with two homers and nine RBI on the season.

Andrew McCutchen - OF - Pirates

Andrew McCutchen went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

McCutchen was the Pirates' entire offense. Both of his RBIs came on a two-run homer in the first inning. To no surprise, Starling Marte and McCutchen have accounted for 11 of Pittsburgh's 21 hits this season. Continue to view McCutchen as an elite fantasy option.

Andrew McCutchen returned to action on Sunday and went 2-for-3 with his third homer of the spring.

McCutchen missed Saturday's game due to flu-like symptoms.

Andrew McCutchen - OF - Pirates

Andrew McCutchen was scratched from the Pirates' lineup Saturday with flu-like symptoms.

McCutchen should be back to normal within the next day or two. Starling Marte will replace him in center field.

Andrew McCutchen - OF - Pirates

Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run homer Sunday as a Pirates split-squad beat the Twins 7-4.

It was McCutchen's first homer and just his third hit in 19 at-bats this spring. He'll likely start to warm up soon enough; McCutchen hit over .300 each of the last four springs.
Mar 10 - 4:59 PM
Andrew McCutchen - OF - Pirates

Andrew McCutchen is studying efficient base-stealers in hopes of stealing more bases himself in 2013.

McCutchen has the ability to steal bases -- he's swiped at least 20 in each of his four major league seasons -- so it's not out of the realm of possibility that he steps up his running game in 2013. In 2012 he proved that he can hit for both average and power, and if he does run more his fantasy value could go through the roof. It's definitely something to think about entering drafts this spring.

Andrew McCutchen - OF - Pirates

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle informed fans at PirateFest on Friday that Jeff Branson will be named as the team's assistant hitting coach.

Branson has served as the hitting coach at Triple-A Indianapolis for the past four seasons, and is very familiar with many of the young hitters on the Pirates roster. He and first-time hitting coach Jay Bell will look to improve an offense that hit .243 as a team and ranked 23rd in the majors with 651 runs scored in 2012.
