McCutchen is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Padres, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
McCutchen went deep in the Pirates' extra-inning loss to the Padres on Wednesday, but he'll take a seat for Thursday's matinee. Bryan Reynolds will get a start at the designated hitter spot while Bryan De La Cruz, Michael Taylor and Ji Hwan Bae patrol the outfield.
