McCutchen is now hitting .338/.399/.535 with seven home runs, 24 RBI, 10 steals and 26 runs scored. The 25-year-old center fielder is obviously an elite fantasy option.

The Angels are without Torii Hunter and Vernon Wells (thumb), but McLouth is not a realistic fit. The 30-year-old was designated for assignment by the Pirates this week after batting just .140/.210/.175 with no homers over 57 at-bats. He's expected to be given his outright release.

Jared Hughes, Jason Grilli, and Juan Cruz also combined for 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief. Hanrahan stuck out David DeJesus and Starlin Castro in consecutive at-bats to end the game. He's currently tied for fourth in the National Leagues in saves.

Burnett was hardly economical, walking two and throwing just 65 of his 105 pitches for strikes. It's the first time this season he's won back-to-back starts. Burnett had previously went at least six innings in four of his last five starts.

In turn, Casey McGehee and Garrett Jones will have reduced roles. Hague, 26, was called up from the minors Friday after batting .278/.325/.333 with one homer over his first 144 at-bats with Triple-A Indianapolis this season. There's not a lot of upside here, but he's worth a look in NL-only leagues if given regular at-bats.

Hague made the Opening Day roster but was sent down after just nine at-bats. He was hitting .278/.325/.333 with one homer over 144 at-bats for Indy and will provide depth at first and third base.

McLouth inked a one-year, $1.75 million free agent contract over the offseason but has batted just .140/.210/.175 with no homers over 57 at-bats. He'll clear waivers, but it's possible the Pirates might just cut ties with him.
