McCutchen (hamstring) will serve as the Pirates' designated hitter and leadoff batter in Sunday's game against the White Sox.
McCutchen was removed from Saturday's game against the White Sox due to left hamstring discomfort.
The injury occurred as the 37-year-old was cut down attempting to steal third base in the seventh inning. The Pirates announced that McCutchen is currently receiving treatment and is considered day-to-day. Don't be surprised if he gets Sunday off as the team heads into the All-Star break.
