McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
He capped the scoring on the night by taking Sean Doolittle deep in the eighth inning. The homer was McCutchen's 21st of the season and first in four games since coming off the IL, but it actually extended a bit of a power surge that began before his knee became an issue towards the end of July. Over his last 10 games, the 34-year-old has only seven hits in 35 at-bats, but four of them have left the yard.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen (knee) could be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCutchen has been on the IL with left knee inflammation since Aug. 2, but the outfielder has a chance to be reinstated when first eligible. Even if he's not quite ready to return Wednesday, the 34-year-old should be back in the lineup within the next few days.

McCutchen was placed on the 10-day injured list with left knee inflammation Monday, retroactive to Aug. 1, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCutchen was slated to miss a second straight game Monday, but he'll land on the IL after he underwent an MRI on Sunday. The Phillies haven't said whether the outfielder will require more than 10 days on the shelf, but Brad Miller and Luke Williams could see increased playing time in his absence.

McCutchen was removed from Saturday's loss to the Pirates with an unspecified knee injury, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCutchen went 0-for-3 with a strikeout before being pulled from the contest. The 34-year-old's availability for Sunday's series finale is up in the air, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the Phillies remain cautious and hold him out of the lineup, even if it's not a serious injury.

McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Monday's 6-5 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder came up clutch with a walkoff homer off Washington closer Brad Hand. This was McCutchen's third long ball in his last eight games and his 18th of the year. The 34-year-old has added 55 RBI, 52 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .237/.357/.458 slash line across 381 plate appearances as a near-everyday presence in the lineup.

McCutchen isn't in the lineup Thursday against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
McCutchen had recorded extra-base hits in each of the last three games with two home runs, two doubles, three RBI and two runs during that time. He'll get a breather as Odubel Herrera shifts to left field while Travis Jankowski starts in center.
