On Tuesday night, the Atlanta Braves will open up a series with the Los Angeles Dodgers at Truist Park in Georgia.
They had the day off on Monday following a three-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers.
UPDATE: The Braves won 4-3.
5x MLB All-Star Still A Free Agent
Earlier this month, the Braves released Andrew McCutchen from their organization.
He did not appear in a game for the Braves (at the MLB level).
MLB.com wrote (on August 2): “Gwinnett Stripers released DH Andrew McCutchen.”
The former MVP had been on their Triple-A affiliate.
As of August 25 (22 days later), McCutchen is still a free agent who is available to sign with any team in the MLB.
He appeared in 37 games for the Texas Rangers this season.
Looking At McCutchen’s Career
McCutchen was picked in the 1st round of the 2005 MLB Draft.
He started out his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
From 2011-15, McCutchen made five MLB All-Star Games (and won an MVP in 2013).
In 2012, he batted .327 with 31 home runs, 96 RBIs and 20 stolen bases.
McCutchen also has had stops with the New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers (in addition to the Rangers and Pirates) over 18 years.
It will be interesting to see if he gets picked up by another MLB team with one month left in the season.
Looking At The Braves
The Braves come into Tuesday as the first-place team in the National League East with a 76-55 record in 131 games.
They have gone 42-23 in 65 games at home in Georgia.
