Andrew McCutchen will miss the rest of the season with a partial tear of his left achilles tendon. Earlier this year, McCutchen passed the 2,000 career hit milestone. He is currently at 299 home runs, and has expressed interest in returning to the Pirates next year.
McCutchen showed he can still hit, batting .256/.378/.397 this year, with 12 home runs and 11 steals. He played exclusively as the designated hitter, and probably ended up playing more than expected with the injury to Ji Man Choi and the other injuries that left the team depleted.
He would be good to bring back in a reduced role next year, serving as a glue guy for the locker room and dugout, as well as a DH and bat off the bench.
