Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Andrew McCutchen is expected to be activated on Friday. The veteran outfielder has been sidelined the last few days due to COVID-19 protocols. He was cleared to return on Tuesday, but needed a few days to get back in the swing of things. Fantasy managers should expect McCutchen in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Washington Nationals.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Andrew McCutchen will go through a workout on the field prior to Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. If all goes well, there's a chance he could be activated from the COVID-19 injured list on Wednesday. The 35-year-old veteran has been on the shelf for about 10 days now. He played in 25 games prior to his move to the COVID-19 injured list and he slashed .240/.291/.350 with two home runs, three stolen bases, 14 RBI and 11 runs.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Andrew McCutchen has been placed on the COVID-19 list. It's uncertain if the veteran outfielder has tested positive, but fantasy managers should expect him to miss at least a game or two. McCutchen has been a valuable asset to this roster and should continue getting significant at-bats. That being said, fantasy managers should hold McCutchen through this issue. In a corresponding move, the Brewers have recalled Mike Brosseau from Triple-A.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Andrew McCutchen had a nice game at the plate in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Orioles. McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a double, a single, and three RBI. He was also caught stealing. The veteran has been fantasy relevant at times over the past several seasons, and he is off to a nice start in 2022, slashing .300/.333/.450 with three RBI. He does not yet have any home runs or stolen bases, but he is worth keeping an eye on in five-outfielder leagues at this time, as he is currently rostered in just 21 percent of leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Andrew McCutchen hit two home runs against right-handed pitchers in spring training action on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners. Although he's no longer in his prime, McCutchen had 27 home runs with the Philadelphia Phillies last year, although he hit much better against lefties (.293/.405/.622 with 15 homers in 195 plate appearances) than he did against righties (.186/.298/.352 with 12 homers in 379 plate appearances). Health will be key for the 35-year-old, but he should see plenty of at-bats for the Brew Crew between designated hitter and in the corner outfield spots.

The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed on a contract with free-agent outfielder Andrew McCutchen on Monday. The details on the signing haven't been released, but it's likely a short one- or two-year deal. The veteran outfielder hit .222/.334/.444 with 27 home runs and 87 RBI for the Philadelphia Phillies last season. All of the outfield spots in Milwaukee are likely taken already. However, the designated hitter spot is available, which is likely where McCutchen will spend most of his time. On paper, this is a good landing spot for the former MVP. He still has some pop in his lumber, but he doesn't run anymore, making him more of a target in deep mixed leagues.

Free-agent outfielder Andrew McCutchen is in talks with the Milwaukee Brewers, according to a source. McCutchen became a free agent when the Philadelphia Phillies declined his $15 million option for the 2022 season in November of last year. The 35-year-old outfielder hit .222/.334/.444 with 27 home runs, 24 doubles, 80 RBI, 78 runs scored and six stolen bases in 574 plate appearances over 144 games, but he also struck out 132 times. Cutch was an All-Star for five straight seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates from 2011-15, but he's on the back end of his career at this point. He still has notable power, but he barely runs anymore and will be more of a late-round flier in deep mixed leagues if he's playing regularly in 2022.

The Philadelphia Phillies declined 2022 club options on outfielders Andrew McCutchen ($15 million) and Odubel Herrera ($11.5 million) on Wednesday. McCutchen becomes a free agent, while the Phils retain the rights to Herrera, who is eligible for salary arbitration. They bought the two outfielders out for $3 million and $2.5 million, respectively. McCutchen hit just .222 but had 27 home runs, 80 RBI and a .778 OPS in 574 plate appearances in 2021. With a 1.027 OPS against lefties and a .650 OPS against right-handers, the 35-year-old could be an ideal platoon option at this late stage of his career. Herrera hit .260 with 13 home runs, 51 RBI and a .726 OPS in 492 plate appearances.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in a loss to the Braves on Thursday. McCutchen has accumulated good numbers as he's got 26 homers, 77 runs scored, and 78 RBI. Those numbers have largely been the product of 'Cutch staying healthy, however, as he's played in 142 games. His rate stats paint a different picture. McCutchen is batting just .221 with a .774 OPS as he's been a fringe-starter at best in fantasy. He's got tough matchups lined up as the Phillies will face Marlins' ace Sandy Alcantara on Friday as the last series of the year is in cavernous loanDepot Park. McCutchen isn't a recommended fantasy start for that series.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen remained ice-cold by going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Mets on Sunday Night Baseball. McCutchen has struggled mightily as he has just three hits in his previous 22 at-bats and is batting just .196 through 16 games in September. Most of McCutchen's troubles can be blamed on a career-worst 23% strikeout rate, but he's also been the victim of a .240 BABIP which is well below his career average. McCutchen is not a viable starter in mixed leagues at the moment.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a win over the Rockies on Saturday. McCutchen needed a game like this as he had been struggling mightily for an extended stretch. After posting an anemic .155 batting average in August, 'Cutch had 10 strikeouts through 10 games in September while seeing his walk rate dip under 10% for the first time this season. McCutchen has fantasy value when he's going well, but for now, it's hard to trust the veteran in starting lineups.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen will take a seat on the bench Sunday against Ryan Feltner and the Colorado Rockies. It's a routine day off for McCutchen, who has struggled to a .170/.265/.340 slash line over 112 plate appearances in his last 30 games. He's been especially bad against right-handed pitching, slashing .177/.288/.325 against them this season. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out to make sure he doesn't start sitting out more often against righties.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and two walks in a win over the Nationals on Wednesday. Man, did McCutchen need a game like this as the veteran outfielder finished August with just a .155 batting average as he's been ice-cold over the past few weeks. As bad of a month as it was for McCutchen, he still made contact at a 41.5% rate, his second-highest hard-hit rate in any month this season, so fantasy managers can expect 'Cutch to turn things around heading into September. He's a start-worthy outfielder in 12-team fantasy leagues and larger.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen isn't in the starting lineup on Thursday. The Phillies will take on the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-handed starter Zac Gallen but will do so without McCutchen, who is hitting .223 with a .334 on-base percentage, 21 home runs, and six stolen bases in 446 plate appearances this season. Odubel Herrera is starting in McCutchen's place in left field and batting leadoff against the Diamondbacks. The 29-year-old could be worth a look as a streaming option in deeper leagues. In 353 plate appearances this year, Herrera is hitting .254 with a .308 on-base percentage, 11 home runs, and four stolen bases.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a run scored in a loss to the Rays on Wednesday. McCutchen badly needed this game as the veteran outfielder had been slumping mightily since the calendar flipped to August. This was McCutchen's first multi-hit game since July 29 as he had just four hits in his previous 46 at-bats coming into Wednesday. In August, McCutchen's usually excellent walk rate plummeted to just 4.3 percent while his strikeout rate skyrocketed to 37 percent, easily the worst strikeout rate in any month this season for 'Cutch. He's got fantasy value when he's going well, but right now it's hard to trust McCutchen in fantasy lineups.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list and will be in the lineup on Wednesday against David Price and the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. McCutchen was sidelined over a week ago with knee soreness but appears to have had a speedy recovery. His return is good news for fantasy managers, given the veteran is slashing .234/.353/.462 with 20 home runs, 58 RBI, and six stolen bases on 77 hits this season. He has been extra productive against left-handed pitching this year and has hit .200/.429/.800 off of Price through his career.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to August 1. McCutchen exited Saturday's 3-2 to loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates due to knee soreness. The news is undoubtedly disappointing for fantasy managers, given the veteran right-hander is slashing .234/.353/.462 with 20 home runs, 58 RBI, and six stolen bases on 77 hits this season. Odubel Herrera will continue filling in at left field and will bat eighth on Monday against Washington Nationals right-hander Josiah Gray.

Philadelphia 76ers outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) recently had an MRI. According to skipper Joe Girardi, the team is still awaiting the results, so there isn't a timetable for his return. The veteran exited Saturday's loss against the Pirates because of knee soreness, and he wasn't in the lineup for the finale. McCutchen was replaced in the lineup on Sunday against Pittsburgh by Odubel Herrera, and managers should consider him day-to-day.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) is out of the lineup Sunday and considered day-to-day, according to The Athletic. "We'll see how he feels as he progresses in a couple of days," manager Joe Girardi said. McCutchen, who exited Saturday's loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, has right knee stiffness. He has had a solid year at the plate, slashing .234/.353/.462 with 20 home runs, 58 RBI, 55 runs, and six stolen bases thus far. If he does have to miss extended time, expect Luke Williams and Travis Jankowski, who is playing center field and batting second on Sunday, to get more reps in the outfield. Once he returns, he can continue as a starter in many formats, especially OBP leagues.
