McCutchen (ribs) has been activated from the DL and is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Braves, the Pittsburgh Tribune reports. McCutchen, who has not played since August 3 due to a broken rib, will bat third and man his usual center field position. The reigning NL MVP took batting practice Monday and will look to pick up where he left off, as he hit the DL in the midst of an impressive four-game span during which he went 6-for-13 at the plate with two doubles, three walks and four RBI. On the season, McCutchen is hitting .311 with 17 home runs 67 RBI and 17 stolen bases.
