Pirates reinstate McCutchen from DL

The Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated outfielder Andrew McCutchen from the 15-day disabled list, the team announced Tuesday.
The reigning MVP is batting third in the order and playing center Tuesday versus the Atlanta Braves. He suffered a fractured rib earlier this month.
With the Pirates two games back of the second NL wild-card spot, McCutchen's offense should provide a spark. The three-time All-Star is hitting .311/.411/.536 with 17 home runs and 17 stolen bases through 109 games this season.
