McCutchen Scratched From Lineup Due to Tightness in Left Quadriceps

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates have scratched Andrew McCutchen from tonight’s game on the road against the Red Sox due to tightness in his left quadriceps. The team announced that he worked out earlier today at McKechnie Field and the move was just made as a precaution. If there are any updates later, we will post them here.

Jason Rogers, who was removed from yesterday’s lineup late due to illness, is in the lineup today. Starling Marte moved over to center field to take McCutchen’s spot tonight, while Tito Polo has been inserted into the lineup, batting eighth and playing right field.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
