Any fears that Pirates outfielder/designated hitter Andrew McCutchen may miss some extended time after being hit by a pitch on Sunday are seemingly been relieved.

He's in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Bradenton.


McCutchen was hit in the left-hand during the game against the Minnesota Twins.

He left the game due to what the team called "left-hand discomfort."

He was evaluated and treated by the Pirates medical staff.

On Monday, Pirates Manager Derek Shelton say that McCutchen had a "full work day" according to the Post-Gazette's Andrew Destin.

McCutchen is batting third against the Toronto Blue Jays and will be the designated hitter.

In eight at bats this Spring Training, McCutchen has no hits and an OPS of 111.
