Productive against Oakland McCutchen went 0-for-1 with three walks and two RBI on Monday against the Athletics.

Impact McCutchen recorded his fourth three-hit game of the season and continues to shine during his return to Pittsburgh.

Takes seat Saturday McCutchen is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact This looks like a routine breather for McCutchen, who has been getting Saturdays off in recent weeks, presumably as part of the Pirates' maintenance plan for the 36-year-old. McCutchen is in the midst of a resurgent year -- he's up to eight homers after Friday's long ball to go with a .269/.364/.462 line -- and the team wants him available for the long haul. Tucupita Marcano will get a turn in the leadoff spot against right-hander Luis Castillo with McCutchen on the bench.
