Phillies OF Andrew McCutchen Out for Season With Torn ACL

McCutchen signed a three-year, $50 million deal with the Phillies in December 2018.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen is out for the season with a torn ACL, according to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. 

McCutchen was injured in the first inning of Philadelphia's 8–2 loss on Monday during a rundown. He was helped off the field and later diagnosed with a sprain in his left knee, leaving the ballpark on crutches.

McCutchen was hitting .256 with 10 home runs and 29 RBIs this season for the Phillies, who have lost five games in a row and seen their lead in the NL East shrink to a half-game over the Atlanta Braves.

He is in his first season with the Phillies after signing a three-year, $50 million deal in the offseason.
