VIDEO: Pirates' McCutchen crashes into wall, leaves game with left rib discomfort
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen could be headed for another stint on the disabled list after leaving Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals in the top of the sixth inning.
#Pirates McCutchen left game with left rib discomfort. He will be treated and re-evaluated, per the team.

McCutchen may have injured himself after crashing against the wall to make an inning-ending catch in the third and was seen wincing afterwards.
The latest injury appears to be an aggravation of the fractured rib McCutchen suffered earlier this month. He missed almost three weeks of action before being activated from the disabled list Aug. 19.
He even acknowledged that he was not fully fit after being activated.
McCutchen acknowledged on Sunday he was not 100 percent and was likely going to be playing with pain the rest of the way
