The Pittsburgh Pirates’ All-Star outfielder, Bryan Reynolds, is dealing with right tricep soreness, and thus has been taken out of his usual spot in right field and is now making starts as the team’s designated hitter. That move has seen Andrew McCutchen relegated to the bench, sitting out three straight games.
However, Cutch has been seen taking reps at first base, fielding ground balls. Pittsburgh Post Gazette writer, Noah Hiles, reported the sighting on X.
“Andrew McCutchen is on the field, taking grounders at first base. I’m like 90% sure he’s just messing around, but it’s still an interesting visual.
