Andrew McCutchen Placed on Injured List

The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed designated hitter Andrew McCutchen on the 10-day injured list due to left knee inflammation following an injury sustained during a game against the Seattle Mariners. McCutchen had been enjoying a strong performance in August, boasting a .367 batting average with 10 RBIs before his injury. As a corresponding move, the Pirates recalled infielder Alika Williams from Triple-A Indianapolis. McCutchen's injury comes after he previously dealt with left quad issues during a recent West Coast road trip. In other news, left-handed pitcher Ryan Borucki is starting a rehab assignment as he recovers from triceps inflammation. The Pirates aim to maintain momentum after snapping a ten-game losing streak with their recent victory.
