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.
