The Pirates placed McCutchen on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to left knee inflammation, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports..

McCutchen suffered the injury in the seventh inning of Friday's game against Seattle while running to first base. The 37-year-old was in the midst of a six-game hitting streak, and over his last 15 games he's slashed .278/.385/.481 with three home runs and 14 RBI across 62 plate appearances. Oneil Cruz is serving as the designated hitter for Saturday's contest, though Joey Bart has served as the DH in three of the Pirates' last seven games, which could mean more starts behind home plate for Yasmani Grandal. Infielder Alika Williams was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move.
