McCutchen, who is slashing .132/.207/.302 in his last 58 plate appearances since April 29, is batting third Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
Despite his struggles, McCutchen is batting .333 with three homers and eight RBI against left-handed pitching in 2017. With Arizona throwing southpaw Robbie Ray (against whom McCutchen has two hits in five career at-bats), perhaps the outfielder can get back on track. Certainly, his .226 BABIP figures to inch closer to his career mark of .328, or at least his 2016 number of .297.
