Jason Heyward Returns To Lineup For Game 2 Monday
4 years agoChicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward had been scratched from Sunday’s lineup due to back tightness before also being absent from Game 1 of Monday’s doubleheader against St. Louis. But Heyward is back in the mix for Game 2 and presumably is cleared to go moving forward. Heyward is on the verge of an offensive revival this season, having produced a 115 OPS+ through his first 16 games, which would be his highest mark since 2015. His metrics back up his production, as his xBA sits at .330, which is among the top seven percentile of all hitters in the Majors. He is worth the add in medium-sized formats moving forward now that his health is back on the right track.
