Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported Tuesday evening that Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen will miss the rest of the season with a torn left anterior cruciate ligament. The team placed McCutchen on the 10-day injured list, but he will likely move to the 60-day at some point.
Losing McCutchen puts a severe dent in the club’s already-struggling offense. His .378 on-base percentage and .834 OPS rank second on the team behind Rhys Hoskins. McCutchen leads the National League with 43 walks and ranks fifth with 45 runs scored. His production in the leadoff spot gave him a strong case for the All-Star Game.
