PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Andrew McCutchen is done for the season. The Phillies’ starting outfielder tore his ACL during the first inning of the Phillies’ 8-2 loss Monday night in San Diego, according to MLB.com’s Todd Zolecki.
McCutchen was attempting to run back to first base in the first inning of Monday’s game when he crumpled to the ground, grabbing his knee. Tuesday’s MRI confirmed the Phillies’ worst fears.
In 59 games this season, McCutchen hit .256 with 10 homers and 29 RBI. He signed a 3-year, $50 million deal with the Phils in the offseason.
The Phillies wished him luck in his recovery on Twitter Tuesday.
