McCutchen is out of the lineup for Thursday's tilt with Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, McCutchen is out of the lineup for the final game of the series with Atlanta Thursday. The 29-year-old showed frustrations that he wasn't dealt before the trade deadline and the Pirates wanted to give him several games off to reestablish a winning mindset heading into the playoff push. Starling Marte is making a start in center in McCutchen's absence.
