Andrew McCutchen absent from Phillies' lineup Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Anibal Sanchez and the Washington Nationals.

The Nationals-Phillies game is tied for having the highest over/under (10.5 runs) on Thursday's slate, per numberFire's MLB Heat Map.
