Good news for you Pirates fans....

A day after a report that stated they will put Andrew McCutchen on the disabled list, the Pittsburgh Pirates say the All-Star center fielder will remain on the active roster.


The team says McCutchen has been diagnosed with an "avulsion fracture involving the costochondral cartilage of the left 11th rib," and that it will continue to evaluate his progress.

Ouch! That hurts just reading it! Hopefully the injury isn't too serious and Cutch returns shortly...

He's 0/5 stuck in extra innings. At this moment it's the 11th.

After a miserable 0-5 start, he may have just hit a game winning homer in the 12th...

Homered in the 12th.
He is going to be a power hitter more than a guy that hits for a high average.

I'm not sure if the other 18 were at the end of the 1961 season or the start of the 1963 season. Sure lucky for him he could pitch!

Nice find, EM. Going 0-46 is simply amazing in several ways...

So true. I don't think Bradley has had an AB since Sunday, I could be wrong though?
