McCutchen will not be in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. McCutchen is struggling to get things going early this season, so manager Clint Hurdle will give him a day off his feet Thursday. The Pirates have yet to announce who will start in center field in McCutchen's place, but one of Starling Marte (hand) or Gregory Polanco figures to slide over and handle the job for the day.
