The Pittsburgh Pirates have announced that Andrew McCutchen was removed from today’s Spring Training lineup with lower body soreness. No further word on the issue, or whether this is serious or precautionary. Considering the early stage of Spring Training that we’re in, I’d say there’s a good chance it’s a precaution. I’ll have an update later today after Clint Hurdle’s press conference, or if any further information becomes available.
UPDATE 4:33 PM: Clint Hurdle said he had no update, and said they would take things “one day at a time.”
