Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-3 in the Pirates' thrilling 8-7 win against the Phillies, scoring three runs and stealing a base while also drawing two walks.
Fantasy Impact:
McCutchen's multi-hit performance, coupled with his ability to get on base and score crucial runs, provided a significant boost to his team. Despite a batting average of .231 this season, games like this highlight his potential to contribute positively in runs and stolen bases categories for fantasy managers. His on-base skills remain intact, as evidenced by his solid walk rate, making him a valuable asset in leagues that reward these metrics. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious due to his relatively high strikeout rate and modest power numbers this season.
