Andrew McCutchen, who was acquired from the Giants with cash considerations ($1.2 million) on Friday morning. New York sent a pair of Minor League prospects to San Francisco for the 31-year-old McCutchen, who is expected to don the pinstripes for Saturday’s 4:05 p.m. ET matinee against the Tigers. McCutchen has shaved his beard and said that he is ready to help the Yanks, who have been without Aaron Judge since July 26 due to Judge’s fractured right wrist.
Now that McCutchen is with the Yankees he was forced to shave off his beard due to the team’s long standing rule that players need to be clean shaven.
Andrew McCutchen had to shave before joining the Yankees. What a weird rule. pic.twitter.com/7IUgSl0HS2

The Internet had some pretty funny reactions to Cutch’s new look.

Even McCutchen himself had jokes about his new clean shaven appearance.
