Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen suffered a partially torn Achilles tendon in yesterday’s game, and will miss the rest of the season, per multiple reports.
The 36 year old McCutchen returned to Pittsburgh, where he spent a half-decade as one of the best players in baseball, on a one year deal this season. He has had a solid year, putting up a .256/.378/.397 slash line while primarily DHing for the Pirates, good for a 1.4 bWAR in 112 games.
McCutchen was a name that was discussed as a possible deadline acquisition for teams looking for a righthanded bat.
