Fantasy Impact:

The 11th-year center fielder got off to a hot start with Philadelphia last year slashing .256 / .378 / .457 with 10 HR, 45 R, 29 RBI, and two SB over a 59-game stretch. Although the team hopes he may return in April, that type of uncertainty combined with McCutchen's age will push him off of most draft boards. He'll be worth a stash once once there is more clarity surrounding his return, assuming that he will take over his leadoff again.
