Scouting Report: Andrew McCutchen
Texas Rangers | DH
Overall
Summary
Andrew McCutchen signed with the Texas Rangers on a minimum-salary deal after being released by the Pittsburgh Pirates. As of May 2026, McCutchen is getting regular playing time due to injuries to teammates Wyatt Langford (forearm) and Brandon Nimmo (hamstring). He has started two consecutive games and has hits in three straight starts. Through 24 games (56 plate appearances), McCutchen is slashing .235/.286/.333 with 1 home run, 5 RBIs, and 6 runs scored. He went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a recent win over the Yankees. The Pirates faced criticism for replacing McCutchen with Marcell Ozuna, with USA Today's Bob Nightengale calling it the worst roster exchange of the offseason.
