Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen is done for the season with an Achilles injury.
The 36-year-old veteran, who has 299 career home runs, was placed on the injured list Wednesday.
McCutchen will be in a walking boot for six weeks with a partial tear in his left Achilles tendon. He is not expected to require surgery.
He was injured while legging out a double during Monday’s 4-2 win against the Milwaukee Brewers.
The five-time All-Star and 2013 National League MVP tallied 12 homers and 43 RBIs in 112 games this season.
McCutchen is a career .276 hitter with 2,048 hits, 1,045 RBIs and 216 stolen bases in 2,007 games over 15 seasons with the Pirates (2009-17, 2023), San Francisco Giants (2018), New York Yankees (2018), Philadelphia Phillies (2019-21) and Brewers (2022).
He returned to Pittsburgh this season on a one-year, $5 million deal and will be a free agent after the season. He has said he hopes to return for another season with the Pirates.
Pittsburgh recalled infielder Jared Triolo from Triple-A Indianapolis to replace McCutchen on the active roster.
Triolo, 25, made his major league debut on June 28 and is batting .273 with one homer and 16 RBIs in 36 games with the Pirates.
