Andrew McCutchen walked into PNC Park's press conference room, took a seat on the podium and said what was on just about everybody's mind.
"It’s pretty disappointing."
On Monday, McCutchen was pulled mid-game with left Achilles tightness in what the team called a precautionary move. McCutchen took to Twitter later that night to tweet, "I'm fine," to try to quell some fears. But as it would turn out, he had a small tear in that Achilles, and his season is effectively over. The team placed him on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, and if they need the roster spot, it would seem reasonable to assume a transfer to the 60-day injured list could be on the table.
