"Pirates' Andrew McCutchen's Season Cut Short by Partial Achilles Tear"
Pittsburgh Pirates' star player Andrew McCutchen has suffered a partial tear in his Achilles tendon, effectively ending his homecoming season. McCutchen will be placed on the 10-day injured list and will be in a walking boot for six weeks. With the regular baseball season ending in three weeks, McCutchen's season is effectively over, leaving him one home run shy of reaching 300 for his career. McCutchen signed a one-year contract with the Pirates in January and will become a free agent at the end of the season.
