McCutchen went 1-for-6 with four strikeouts Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

He's struggling right now, with opposing pitchers challenging him with 92-mph fastballs -- and winning. McCutchen has whiffed 19 times in his last 12 games and has just six extra-base hits in 89 at-bats in 2016. Manager Clint Hurdle has started him in each of the team's first 19 games, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him get a day off in the near future. That said, Monday's begins a four-game set in hitter-friendly Colorado, which could be the perfect tonic for McCutchen's slump.
