Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen exited Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Twins in the sixth inning with discomfort in his left hand.

The Pirates said McCutchen was being examined by the team’s medical staff.

McCutchen was injured when he was struck on the back of his hand by Twins right-hander Jeff Hoffman. The pitch was ruled a foul ball and Henry Davis entered to finish the at-bat.

McCutchen was 0-for-2 on Sunday and is hitless in eight spring at-bats.

The 36-year-old McCutchen is back for a second tour of duty with Pittsburgh after being a five-time All-Star with the franchise from 2009-17. He was named National League MVP in 2013.

McCutchen has since played for the San Francisco Giants (2018), New York Yankees (2018), Philadelphia Phillies (2019-21) and the Milwaukee Brewers (2022). He batted .237 with 17 homers and 69 RBIs in 134 games for the Brewers.

Overall, McCutchen has 287 homers and 1,002 RBIs to go with a .277 career average in 1,895 games.

Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper said he will report to spring training on Wednesday to continue his recovery from elbow surgery.

The two-time National League MVP had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on Nov. 23 and is expected to be out until at least the All-Star break.

Harper, 30, originally sustained the injury on April 11 and ended up moving from the outfield to designated hitter for the remainder of the season as the Phillies captured their first pennant since 2009.

Harper hit .286 with 18 homers and 65 RBIs in 99 games last season. He batted .349 with six homers and 13 RBIs in 17 postseason games, with the Phillies losing the World Series to the Houston Astros in six games.

The seven-time All-Star has 285 homers, 817 RBIs and a .280 batting average in 1,382 games with the Washington Nationals (2012-18) and Phillies (2019-22).

Chicago White Sox pitcher Mike Clevinger will not face discipline from Major League Baseball following its investigation into allegations of domestic violence and child abuse.

“The comprehensive investigation included interviews of more than 15 individuals, in addition to Mr. Clevinger and the complainant, as well as a review of available documents, such as thousands of electronic communication records,” MLB said in a prepared statement issued Sunday. “The Office of the Commissioner has closed this investigation and, barring the receipt of any new information or evidence, the Office of the Commissioner will not be imposing discipline on Mr. Clevinger in connection with these allegations.”

The MLB statement added Clevinger has “voluntarily agreed to submit to evaluations by the joint treatment boards under the collectively bargained policies, and to comply with any of the boards’ recommendations. MLB will continue to make support services available to Mr. Clevinger, his family, and other individuals involved in the investigation.”

The White Sox signed Clevinger to a free agent deal in December. However, last month, The Athletic reported the league already was in the midst of investigating allegations made against him last summer when he was a member of the San Diego Padres.

“The Chicago White Sox respect that the joint policies of MLB and the MLBPA govern this matter,” the team said in its own statement on Sunday. “We accept the conclusion of the thorough, months-long investigation conducted by the Commissioner’s Office with respect to Mike Clevinger. Per the terms of the joint policy, the White Sox will not comment further on this matter.”

The investigation concerned claims made by the mother of Clevinger’s young daughter, per The Athletic.

The woman told The Athletic that she provided details of several alleged incidents to MLB investigators, including Clevinger choking and slapping her and throwing used chewing tobacco on their child.

When Clevinger, 32, reported to spring training last month, he didn’t go into details about the allegations but insisted there was more to the story.

“I’m just asking everybody to wait before they rush to judgment,” Clevinger said. “Wait until the actual facts are out there. Wait until the actual evidence and then make a decision on who you think I am.”

Clevinger’s deal in Chicago is for one year and $12 million. He will receive $8 million in 2023 with a mutual $12 million option for 2024 that includes a $4 million buyout.

Clevinger went 7-7 with a 4.33 ERA in 23 appearances (22 starts) for the Padres last season. He made two postseason starts and went 0-1 with a 23.63 ERA, and failed to record a single out in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The former fourth-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Angels in 2011 spent his first 4 1/2 seasons in Cleveland before his young career hit a snag. He was moved to the Padres at the 2020 trade deadline after he had been suspended for violating team COVID-19 protocol.

Clevinger then pitched just four games with the Padres in 2020 before he needed Tommy John surgery, forcing him to miss the entire 2021 campaign.

In 128 career appearances (114 starts), Clevinger has gone 51-30 with a 3.39 ERA and 694 strikeouts over 656 2/3 innings.

The Colorado Rockies signed veteran infielder Mike Moustakas to a minor-league contract, MLB.com reported Sunday.

The report comes on the heels of Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers possibly requiring season-ending surgery for his dislocated shoulder.

Moustakas, 34, was released by the Cincinnati Reds in January. The three-time All-Star has played at first, second and third base during his 12 seasons in the majors.

Moustakas batted .214 with seven homers and 25 RBIs in 78 games with the Reds last season. He has 203 homers, 635 RBIs and 1,165 hits in 1,315 games with the Kansas City Royals (2011-18), Milwaukee Brewers (2018-19) and Reds.

A Gold Glove winner last season, Rodgers was hurt last week while diving for a ground ball in a Cactus League game against the Texas Rangers in Surprise, Ariz. A trainer had to pop his shoulder back into place on the field.

Rodgers, 26, batted .266 with 13 homers and 63 RBIs in 137 games in 2022.

He is batting .266 with 28 homers and 123 RBIs in 271 career games since being selected by the Rockies with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2015 MLB Draft.
