McCutchen, who was acquired by the Giants on Monday via trade, was told he'll play a corner outfield spot for his new club in 2018, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

While McCutchen has primarily played center field throughout his professional career, the 31-year-old isn't completely unfamiliar with right field as he spent the first 13 games of the 2017 campaign there before a suspension to Starling Marte allowed him to shift back to center. With McCutchen expected to occupy a corner outfield spot, the Giants could bring in a potential center fielder or turn to prospect Steven Duggar.
