CLEVELAND — The Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated outfielder Andrew McCutchen from the 10-day injured list on Friday after he had been out with left knee inflammation. The club made several moves before opening a three-game series against AL Central-leading Cleveland. Pittsburgh also placed reliever Ben Heller on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, and right-hander Daulton Jefferies, who is on the 60-day injured list, will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Indianapolis. The 37-year-old McCutchen got hurt while running the bases against Seattle on Aug. 16. The five-time All-Star is batting .235 with 16 homers and 40 RBIs in 101 games this season.
