Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen hit his first homer of the season in a win over the Mets on Sunday. McCutchen started the afternoon on the bench, but would go 1-for-2 with a two-run homer after entering the game. The veteran outfielder has struggled mightily to start the season and is still batting just .192. That being said, McCutchen's main fantasy appeal is his ability to score runs batting atop a good Phillies lineup and he has been solid in that role as he has been ...

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto and outfielder Andrew McCutchen will sit for the team's first game of a doubleheader Sunday versus Braves right-hander Huascar Ynoa. Adam Haseley gets the nod in right field and is batting leadoff, while Andrew Knapp will bat ninth and call signs behind the dish. Realmuto is hot at the plate with three homers in his last four starts, while McCutchen is slumping with a .115 BA to start the season. Owners can remain patient a little longer with the ...

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) could be used frequently in the designated hitter spot early in the season so that he can ease his way into a tight schedule while coming off a torn ACL. But when he's ready for the outfield full time, veteran outfielder Jay Bruce could be the primary option at DH. He's still a 20-30-homer threat when in the lineup regularly, and the Phillies would benefit from taking his glove off the field. Corner infield prospect Alec Bohm could see ...

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen(knee) confirmed he will be ready to play when MLB can resume after the season was delayed due to the coronavirus. The veteran outfielder has been out since last June with a torn ACL and would have missed the start of the regular season if it started on March 26. McCutchen has been working out in Florida and said that when the season does begin, he will be ready. McCutchen was the Phillies primary leadoff hitter before his injury last season and ...

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) won't be ready for Opening Day but should be back sometime in April, according to Jim Salisbury. While it's unfortunate McCutchen won't be there to start the season, he should be a solid fantasy contributor for most of the year, as he's currently projected to bat leadoff for a stacked Phillies lineup. McCutchen led off all 59 games he played last season and scored 45 runs in those games. Entering his age-33 season, he's never had a season ...

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) hasn't been cleared to play in games and is still following his own workout plan as he attempts to recover from a torn ACL. Despite the delay, McCutchen still plans on being ready for Opening Day and could even see some Spring Training action if all goes well. McCutchen put up a .834 OPS in 59 games last season, his first with the Phillies, before going down for the season in the first week of June. The 33-year-old outfielder should have ...

Andrew McCutchen was putting together a fine 2019 campaign before an ACL tear in June put an abrupt end to his first season in Philadelphia. In 59 games, the former NL MVP slashed .256/.378/.457 with 10 HR, 45 R, 29 RBI, and two SB as the everyday leadoff hitter for the Phillies. McCutchen settled into his role atop the lineup with tremendous plate discipline metrics, establishing new career-highs in walk rate (16.4%) and O-Swing% (17.7%), both numbers that led all NL hitters before his injury....
