McCutchen is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in St. Louis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
McCutchen started the previous three and six of the last seven contests, but he will begin Monday's series opener on the bench. Joey Bart will get a start at designated hitter in McCutchen's stead.
