Andrew McCutchen

Andrew McCutchen may be a grounds crew hero, but Justin Upton doesn’t care.

The San Diego Padres outfielder leaped way up over the left field fence to rob McCutchen of a two-run dinger in the bottom of the fifth inning on Tuesday night.

Members of the Pittsburgh Pirates grounds grew were firmly seated aboard the struggle bus before Andrew McCutchen dropped his mitt and helped out.

With roaring winds and torrential rain interrupting Tuesday’s game against the San Diego Padres, stadium workers tried to unroll a tarp as quickly as possible. It didn’t go well.

Andrew McCutchen has been one of baseball's most durable players since the Pittsburgh Pirates called him up in 2009. However, he is currently dealing with an elbow injury after being hit by a pitch. His status for Sunday's game remains unclear.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen is a big fan of the U.S. women’s national soccer team—big enough to have his own customized jersey.

On Friday, the All-Star posted a picture of himself wearing a personalized Team USA jersey in anticipation for the team's opening World Cup match on June 8.

In a battle of the long ball vs. small ball, the Pittsburgh Pirates picked up a 10-8 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Friday night in Turner Field. 

With the victory, the Pirates won their fourth game in a row. They have also won 12 of their last 14.

For the likes of Clayton Kershaw and Andrew McCutchen, it's still much too early to hit the panic button.

Then again, as the 2015 season reaches the one-quarter mark, two of the game's most dominant superstars have yet to get on track. While Kershaw and McCutchen are the most prominent players to tumble into a slump, there are also starting rotations, batting orders and even entire squads that have yet to find their way.

Few players in baseball have been more consistently MVP-worthy over the past handful of seasons than Andrew McCutchen. Yet more than a month into 2015, the Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder, who has three straight top-three NL MVP finishes—including the 2013 trophy—has looked nothing like his usual MVP-caliber self.

From Andrew McCutchen to Chris Sale, some of baseball's biggest names have been big-time duds in 2015.

The good news for the Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder and the Chicago White Sox ace is that it's still early—really early. The bad news is that their teams play in two of the most competitive divisions in baseball—the type of divisions where a sideways start could be the kiss of death.

Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star center fielder Andrew McCutchen is dealing with knee soreness. He left the team's game against the Brewers on April 10 in the ninth inning and was ruled out of action for the game against Milwaukee the following day.
