A shortened season may give the Philadelphia Phillies something that they would not have had if games were played as scheduled — their leadoff batter.

In an interview with Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia, outfielder Andrew McCutchen told Seidman that he will be available to play when Major League Baseball starts playing games again.

“Now I know, whenever the time comes and we’re playing again, I’ll be ready to go,” McCutchen said in the phone interview.
