Andrew McCutchen Homers in Pirates' 5-3 Victory Over Cubs
by Matthew Adam | Pirates Correspondent | Tue, Sep 3rd 5:19am EDT
Andrew McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Pirates' 5-3 win over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot contributed to the team's victory, though his overall performance this season has been less than stellar, with a batting average of .238 and 18 homers over 104 games. McCutchen's power remains evident, but his high strikeout rate and declining batting average are red flags for fantasy managers. While he can still pop the occasional long ball, his days as a top fantasy outfielder are fading. Managers should consider him a situational play, depending on matchups and league format.
