McCutchen has been placed on revocable waivers and could be traded to a new team by the end of the week, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Baggarly, the Giants were waiting to place McCutchen on revocable waivers while they were still chasing a playoff spot, but after they were swept by the Reds over the weekend, it seems they are waiving the white flag. Baggarly expects the Giants to do McCutchen a solid and ship him to a team where he could get more exposure during a potential World Series run. He will be a free agent this winter, and while he is still an above average hitter (114 wRC+), he has graded out as a negative defender in each of the past three seasons (according to FanGraphs). If he does indeed get traded to a contender, it's possible he will see a significant reduction in playing time over the rest of the season, but that all depends on where he ends up.

McCutchen went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 extra-innings loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

He headed into Friday's tilt stuck in a 4-for-33 (.121) slump over his prior 10 games, so Cutch's performance was a relief for wary fantasy GMs. The 31-year-old now sports a .257/.355/.417 slash line on the year, and the steal was his 10th -- the ninth time in 10 big-league seasons he's reached double digits in that category.

McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and a strikeout in Wednesday's extra-innings loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen came through with the clutch hit, tying the score up at three in the eighth inning, though the Giants would still go on to drop this one in the 12th. The 31-year-old has been struggling of late, following up a subpar July with a .213/.351/.426 slash line through 47 at-bats in August.

McCutchen went 5-for-5 with a home run, double and two RBI in the Giants' 9-3 loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen provided a jolt for San Francisco out of the leadoff spot, but with his hit total nearly matching the output (six) from the rest of his teammates combined, the Giants weren't able to take advantage of his constant presence on the bases. The 31-year-old is now slashing .278/.375/.500 with three home runs, six RBI and five runs in 14 games since the All-Star break.

McCutchen (foot) will man right field and bat atop the order in San Diego on Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen will not miss any additional time after leaving Sunday's game against Milwaukee due to a foot contusion. With just a two-game set on tap in San Diego, he will get a breather during the club's scheduled off day Wednesday. Through 103 games this year, McCutchen has slashed .253/.348/.405 with 10 home runs, 43 RBI and nine stolen bases.

McCutchen was lifted from Sunday's tilt against Milwaukee due to a foot contusion, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen suffered the injury after fouling multiple balls off his foot, although he was likely removed as a precaution. The issue shouldn't force him to remain out long, and he'll be considered day-to-day moving forward.

McCutchen is leading off Saturday against the Brewers, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rookie Steven Duggar had been leading off for the Giants, but now McCutchen will get his shot against righty Jhoulys Chacin. McCutchen has a career .277/.357/.469 slash line as a leadoff hitter, but a lot of that production came when he was in his prime. He is hitting .255/.348/.408 with 10 home runs and nine steals in 440 plate appearances this season. If this lineup construction holds, McCutchen should see his runs tick up and his RBI tick down.

McCutchen went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen's eight-inning homer put the Giants on top momentarily, but it was all for naught as the bullpen failed to hold the lead. The 31-year-old's numbers are down across the board since joining San Francisco this offseason, but he has salvaged some fantasy value with a .259 batting average, 51 runs, 10 homers, 42 RBI and nine steals in 97 games.

McCutchen went 3-for-6 with an RBI in Sunday's 13-8 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen got off to a rough 1-for-15 start in July, but he has delivered five hits, two RBI and a stolen base over his last three contests. The 31-year-old is slashing a respectable .262/.345/.422 through 88 games, with just enough power (nine homers) and speed (seven steals) to maintain mixed-league value.

McCutchen is not in the lineup versus Colorado on Tuesday, Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCutchen will get a rare day off following 11 straight starts as Hunter Pence gets the nod in right field. Over the past two games, McCutchen has gone 0-for-10 and will look to clear his head before returning to the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale.
