Pirates' Andrew McCutchen: Returns to action Saturday

McCutchen (quad) will bat second and play center field Saturday against Tampa Bay, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The outfielder missed Friday's game and the two-hour bus ride to Fort Myers, but will play against the Rays on Saturday. Manager Clint Hurdle continues to bat McCutchen second in the lineup, an indication that the team's best hitter will likely hit in the spot to start the regular season.
