McCutchen is not starting for the second consecutive day Friday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
McCutchen has started just one game since last Sunday, and while he was able to pinch hit during Thursday's loss to Arizona, it remains possible that he's dealing with some sort of undisclosed issue. Odubel Herrera draws the start in left field as Travis Jankowski mans center field Friday.

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.

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.
