McCutchen stroked his first hit (a double) of the spring Monday. He played six innings innings in center field, alleviating fears he's been nursing an injury. The Pirates have already come out and said that McCutchen will see more down time in an effort to keep him fresh throughout the entire season. He suffered a rib avulsion fracture in August and typically misses a game or two with a long-standing knee condition. That said, he's averaged 154 games over the past five seasons.
