The Philadelphia Phillies and Fantasy Baseball owners will be without outfielder Andrew McCutchen from the rest of the season after McCutchen suffered a torn ACL
Philadelphia rebuilt their roster this offseason, adding McCutchen, Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto and Jean Segura.
The money has been well spent, leading to a 34-27 record with the Phillies currently in first place in the National League East.
However, recent weeks have not been kind to Philly with Odubel Herrera being suspended and now this injury to McCutchen.
Herrera’s suspension has been extended to June 17th.
The Phillies also signed David Robertson in the offseason, but he has missed most of the season with an elbow injury.

Now 32-years-old, Andrew McCutchen signed a three year, $50 million deal this offseason.
Despite Citizen Bank Park being known as a hitter-friendly park, McCutchen was hitting slightly better on the road.
His 10 home runs were split evenly home/away.
Philadelphia just traded for Jay Bruce and it looks like he will be playing everyday for now.
Prospect Adam Haseley was promoted this week as well, but this is just another opportunity for Scott Kingery to get more plate appearances.
So What Now?
You need to find yourself a permanent replacement, but they don’t have to actually play OF, they just need to be eligible!
