McCutchen will lead off and play left field Tuesday against the Red Sox in Aaron Judge's first start since returning from a broken wrist.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen has never started in left field so far in his major-league career and has only ever played a total of five innings there, all of which came after his trade to New York. The fact that McCutchen, a righty, starts over Brett Gardner, a lefty, despite the opposing pitcher (Nathan Eovaldi) being right-handed is a significant one, as it suggests McCutchen isn't due to lose too many at-bats down the stretch.

McCutchen went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two runs scored in Friday's 11-0 route of the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen tacked on an insurance run in the fifth inning on a solo homer to right field, delivering his 18th home run of the season and his third as a Yankee. The 31-year-old owns a .253/.365/.421 slash line through 142 games this season, although he'll likely see his playing time take a hit when Aaron Judge (wrist) can enter the starting lineup, which should happen within the next few weeks.

McCutchen is starting in right field and leading off Saturday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen will immediately assume leadoff duties for his new team with southpaw Daniel Norris toeing the rubber for the Tigers, though he could find himself elsewhere in the lineup against righties. The 31-year-old hit .255/.357/.415 with 15 homers and 13 steals across 130 games with the Giants prior to being dealt.

McCutchen will not be available for Friday's game against Detroit after being traded to the Yankees earlier in the day, Joel Sherman of The New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

This shouldn't come as a major surprise considering McCutchen is flying across the country from the West Coast to join his new team in New York. Look for him to be ready for action Saturday.

McCutchen was dealt from San Francisco to the Yankees on for Abiatal Avelino and Juan De Paula, Jon Heyman of Fancred reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, McCutchen will head to New York after the two clubs finalized a deal that was set into motion Thursday night. Per Joel Sherman of The New York Post, the Giants will pay for half of McCutchen's remaining salary of $2.4 million, though the Yankees would've remained under the luxury tax threshold regardless. With Aaron Judge (wrist) still sidelined indefinitely, McCutchen will step into a regular role in the lineup as Giancarlo Stanton is expected to see more time at DH in order to rest his lingering hamstring issue. On the year, McCutchen has slashed .255/.357/.415 with 15 home runs, 55 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 130 games.

McCutchen is expected to be traded from the Giants to the Yankees in exchange for two minor-league prospects, although the deal has yet to be finalized, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

The trade hasn't been made official, but both teams are nearing an agreement. The Giants owe McCutchen around $2.5 million yet this season, so the Yankees would have to be willing to absorb the remainder of his contract.

McCutchen was traded from the Giants to the Yankees on Thursday, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen figures to bolster New York's outfield, as he'll likely draw starts in right field until Aaron Judge (wrist) is healthy enough to return from the disabled list. It's currently unclear who the Yankees had to give up in exchange for the 31-year-old outfielder.

McCutchen will man right field and bat atop the order against the Mets on Thursday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen was held out of the lineup Wednesday as rumors swirled that he could be on his way out of town after being placed on revocable waivers earlier this week. There has yet to be word on whether McCutchen was claimed by another team, but it was reported by Robert Murray of The Athletic that San Francisco kept him on the bench Wednesday since the club was working toward a trade. Over 123 games this year, he's hit .255/.353/.412 with 14 home runs, 53 RBI and 11 stolen bases.

McCutchen is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mets, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, McCutchen is situated on the bench Wednesday as the Giants are reportedly working toward trading the outfielder before the Aug. 31 waiver deadline. Gorkys Hernandez is starting in right field in this one, while Alen Hanson and Austin Slater could also benefit from more opportunities if McCutchen is indeed traded.

The Giants are likely to withhold McCutchen from the lineup Wednesday against the Mets with San Francisco expected to be working toward trading the outfielder, Robert Murray of The Athletic Wisconsin reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen was placed on revocable waivers earlier in the week, but it remains uncertain if he cleared or if one of the MLB's other 29 teams put in a claim. Either way, it appears the 62-65 Giants, who are rapidly fading from playoff contention, are determined to get something in return for McCutchen prior to the Aug. 31 waiver deadline before he hits free agency over the winter. If the Giants do end up parting ways with McCutchen, it would likely open up more opportunities in the outfield for the likes of Alen Hanson and Austin Slater.
