Pirates' Andrew McCutchen dealing with knee discomfort, out Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen left the ninth inning of Friday's game with what the club called 'left knee discomfort.'

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen is out Saturday against Milwaukee after leaving the ninth inning of Friday's game with what the club called 'left knee discomfort.'

McCutchen removed himself from Pittsburgh's game against the Brewers after leading off the inning with a fly ball to right field. He battled lower body soreness during spring training, but Pirates manager Clint Hurdle dismissed any connection between the injuries.

Hurdle on McCutchen: “He took himself out after he ran down the line after the at bat. He felt a little something.”
