McCutchen (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The move has no effect on McCutchen's recovery timeline, as he's already been ruled out for the season following knee surgery. It clears up a spot on the 40-man roster for the Phillies to select Fernando Salas' contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

McCutchen underwent surgery to reconstruct the ACL in his left knee and repair a medial meniscus tear Friday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCutchen was ruled out for the season after injuring his knee during a rundown in early May. Jay Bruce now serves as the Phillies' left fielder. McCutchen should be back by the start of next season, though it's possible that recovery from surgery at least delays his start to camp.

McCutchen was placed on the 10-day injured list and ruled out for the season with a torn ACL on Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCutchen fell awkwardly during a rundown Monday against the Padres, and the Phillies' worst fears were confirmed Tuesday. His absence leaves a big hole at the top of the Phillies' lineup, as he'd recorded a strong .256/.378/.457 line through 59 games. Cesar Hernandez could jump up to the leadoff role, or the team could simply slide the rest of the hitters up one spot. Jay Bruce, acquired in a trade from Seattle on Sunday, now appears to be lined up as the Phillies' starting left fielder.

McCutchen was diagnosed with a sprained left knee after exiting Monday's 8-2 loss to the Padres and is slated to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Phillies will await the results of McCutchen's MRI before making any roster moves, but it appears likely that the 32-year-old will require a stay on the 10-day injured list. In addition to manager Gabe Kapler relaying that Triple-A Lehigh Valley outfielder Adam Haseley would join the club in San Diego on Tuesday as a member of the taxi squad, McCutchen was spotted with crutches in the locker room after Monday's game and made an ominous post on his personal Twitter account implying concern about the injury. If McCutchen is in fact shut down, Haseley or the newly acquired Jay Bruce would likely see most of the action in left field, while Jean Segura or Cesar Hernandez could represent the top candidates to replace McCutchen as the Phillies' leadoff hitter.

McCutchen left Monday's game against the Padres after appearing to injure his left knee, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCutchen suffered the injury while in a rundown, and he needed assistance just to get off the field. While this doesn't look good for the veteran outfielder, he'll be considered day-to-day until the team reveals the nature of the injury.

McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
McCutchen's fourth-inning blast helped cut the Dodgers' lead to 2-1 at the time, but it was only one of five hits on the night for the Phillies. McCutchen is up to 10 homers, 29 RBI and 45 runs scored in 56 games this season, typically batting at the top of a loaded lineup.

McCutchen will start in center field against right-handed pitching moving forward, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Odubel Herrera being placed on administrative leave Tuesday, the Phillies have announced that they'll roll with McCutchen in center against right-handers, while Scott Kingery will man center field against southpaws.

McCutchen went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two runs, two RBI and a walk in the Phillies' 9-7 victory over the Cubs on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a lively day from atop the order for the veteran, as he reached base three times and laced his ninth and 10th doubles of the season. It was his third multi-hit effort in his last five games, bringing his slash line up to .259/.383/.438 through 185 at-bats.

McCutchen went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and two runs scored Friday against Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
McCutchen launched a two-run homer in the third inning to tie the ballgame, registering his sixth home run of the season. The veteran outfielder has reached base safely in eight of his last 11 contests, and he'll aim to keep it rolling at the dish in the final two games of the series.
