Andrew McCutchen Still Dealing With Knee Issues
                
        
        Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton said that outfielder/designated hitter Andrew  McCutchen (knee) was scratched from the lineup on Wednesday against the division-rival Chicago Cubs because his knee was a "little cranky" when he showed up to the field. "He's 37 years old, and some days he wakes up and feels better than he does. He's still available," Shelton said. The Pirates probably could have used McCutchen on Wednesday, as they were no hit by lefty starter Shota  Imanaga and two relievers in an 12-0 blowout loss. McCutchen recently returned from a stint on the injured list due to inflammation in the same knee, so this isn't a great sign. In four games since his return, he's gone 4-for-15 with two homers and six RBI. With McCutchen out on Wednesday, Oneil  Cruz was the DH and Michael  Taylor got the start in center field. The Pirates aren't going to rush the aging veteran back into the lineup at this point.
