outfielder Andrew McCutchen The club has had a tear in the left knee knee and will not play this season, revealed the club Tuesday, after McCutchen had an MRI.

The 32-year-old was injured Monday in San Diego while he was trying to avoid a first-round mark. He had to be helped off the court and then left the stadium on crutches, but the seriousness of the injury was not known at the time.

This is a blow for the Phillies, who started Tuesday at the head of the National League East by a half-game on the Braves. McCutchen played an important role in this success, giving Philadelphia the kind of ideal fight he expected when the two sides agreed on a $ 50 million three-year contract this season.

In 59 games, McCutchen averaged .256 / .378 / .457 with 10 home runs and 29 RBIs. He leads the NL with 43 walks and ranks third with 4.45 shots per plate and the fifth with 45 points scored.

McCutchen had started playing 59 of the Phillies' first 60 games in first place, and without him Tuesday, second baseman Cesar Hernandez was called. Meanwhile, rookie Adam Haseley will start in the central field in his big league debut, surrounded by new buyer Jay Bruce in the left field and Bryce Harper on the right. Haseley was raised at Triple-A Lehigh Valley after McCutchen's injury, while Bruce was bought Sunday in Seattle.
