McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen has gone yard in back-to-back games for the second time in 2021, with both instances coming during the current month. He's hitting just .222 across 45 at-bats this month but has four homers and 11 RBI in that stretch, and his 17 dingers on the year are his highest mark since 2018, when he socked 20 long balls across 155 games.

McCutchen went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen has reached base in each of the four games since returning from the All-Star break, and he hit his 16th home run of the season in Sunday's win. The 34-year-old has gone 2-for-7 with a home run, three RBI and four walks across four games to begin the second half of the year.

McCutchen will sit for the afternoon portion of Friday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies won't ask the 34-year-old to play two games in one day. He remained a useful player in the first half despite his age, hitting 15 homers and stealing six bases while slashing .228/.346/.434, good for a 113 wRC+. That low batting average hurts fantasy teams, but a .252 xBA indicates that things could improve in that category going forward. Brad Miller will be the left fielder in his absence.

McCutchen is out of the lineup Thursday against the Cubs, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen will take a seat for the first time since June 25, when he was on the bench for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Mets. He has a .856 OPS with two homers, two doubles, nine RBI, 11 runs and three stolen bases in the past 12 games. Travis Jankowski will work in left field for Thursday's series finale.

McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen provided the majority of Philadelphia's offense for the evening with a two-run blast in the sixth inning. It was his 15th home run of the season and second in as many games. Though he's hitting only .233 on the campaign, McCutchen has a .351 on-base percentage and has scored 46 runs while driving in 48 across 79 contests.

McCutchen went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Tuesday's 15-10 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen's slam came in the first inning as the Phillies' offense got to Jake Arrieta quickly in the contest. In the seventh inning, McCutchen was replaced by Luke Williams in left field, likely to get the former some rest in his second game back from oblique soreness. The 34-year-old is up to 14 homers, 46 RBI, 45 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .792 OPS through 324 plate appearances.

McCutchen (oblique) went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 13-3 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

It appears the oblique soreness that forced the outfielder from Sunday's contest was a minor issue. McCutchen put an end to a 2-for-18 skid with the three-hit showing Monday. He's slashing .234/.354/.433 with 13 home runs, 42 RBI, 44 runs scored and six stolen bases through 319 plate appearances this year.

McCutchen (oblique) is batting cleanup and playing left field Monday against the Cubs, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oblique soreness forced the veteran to exit late in Sunday's contest, but he appears good enough to play in the series opener Monday at Wrigley Field. After going 0-for-3 on Sunday, McCutchen is hitting .241 with a homer, six RBI and eight walks in his last 11 games.

McCutchen exited Sunday's loss to the Padres with oblique tightness, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen complained of oblique soreness during Sunday's contest, and he took himself out of the game with two outs in the top of the ninth inning rather than risking a more serious injury. The 34-year-old will be examined further Monday when the team travels to Chicago, and he should be considered day-to-day for now. Prior to his departure, the left fielder went 0-for-3 with a walk.

McCutchen went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and a stolen base Saturday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen singled off Yu Darvish in the sixth inning and promptly stole second base before coming in to score on a Rhys Hoskins double. The 34-year-old McCutchen is 6-for-7 on the basepaths this season, with half off those six steals coming in the last seven games. McCutchen has gotten on base at a healthy .352 clip this season -- he leads the Phillies with 48 walks -- and has 13 homers and 41 RBI in 253 at-bats, but his .229 average would be the lowest of his career.
