  • Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Productive against Oakland

    McCutchen went 0-for-1 with three walks and two RBI on Monday against the Athletics.

    It was an unusual -- yet productive -- line for McCutchen, as he drew a bases-loaded walk and hit a sacrifice fly to tally his two RBI. He's now reached based multiple times in five consecutive games, during which he's drawn six free passes combined with six hits. His combination of a .373 on-base percentage and .442 slugging percentage across 217 plate appearances this season gives him his highest OPS since the 2019 campaign.

  • Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Gets rest day

    McCutchen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    With the series finale beginning at 11:35 a.m. ET, the 36-year-old McCutchen is on the bench in what most likely amounts to a veteran's day off. Bryan Reynolds will get a day out of the outfield and replace McCutchen as the Bucs' designated hitter.

  • Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Shows off versatility in win

    McCutchen went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI double, two runs scored and one steal in Wednesday's 9-4 victory over San Francisco.

    McCutchen recorded his fourth three-hit game of the season and continues to shine during his return to Pittsburgh. The veteran is slashing .273/.369/.453 over his first 49 games of his age-36 season, which would all be his highest marks since his last campaign with the Pirates in 2017. McCutchen will periodically take a day off to stay fresh, but he's locked into the top of the order when available and remains a versatile threat at the plate.

  • Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Takes seat Saturday

    McCutchen is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    This looks like a routine breather for McCutchen, who has been getting Saturdays off in recent weeks, presumably as part of the Pirates' maintenance plan for the 36-year-old. McCutchen is in the midst of a resurgent year -- he's up to eight homers after Friday's long ball to go with a .269/.364/.462 line -- and the team wants him available for the long haul. Tucupita Marcano will get a turn in the leadoff spot against right-hander Luis Castillo with McCutchen on the bench.
