Andrew McCutchen (Achilles) sidelined Tuesday for Pirates

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen (Achilles) is not in the lineup on Tuesday against right-hander Brandon Woodruff and the Milwaukee Brewers.

What It Means:

McCutchen is considered day-to-day after he exited Monday's series opener early due to tightness in his left Achilles tendon. Bryan Reynolds is shifting to designated hitter on Tuesday while Josh Palacios starts in left field and bats eighth. Ji Hwan Bae is taking over in the leadoff spot and Ke'Bryan Hayes is moving down two spots to hit third.

numberFire’s models project Reynolds ($3,500) for 10.7 and Palacios ($2,200) for 7.1 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates' implied total is 3.78, fifth-lowest on the board, and the game total is 8.5. Woodruff has registered a 2.70 ERA and 2.91 xERA through seven starts this season, while posting strong marks with a 32.2% strikeout rate and 14.5% swinging-strike rate.
