Heyward will receive the night off for general rest, with Teoscar Hernandez sliding over to right field and batting cleanup against the Reds Saturday.

Jason Heyward contributed significantly in the Dodgers' 7-3 win against the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Jason Heyward went 1-for-3 with a home run, one run scored, two RBI, and a walk. This performance, highlighted by his first home run of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who might have been discouraged by his injury-plagued start to the season. With a batting average of .235 and a modest total of four RBI through five games, Heyward's impact has been limited. However, his ability to drive in runs when he connects suggests he could be a situational asset in deeper fantasy leagues, especially in matchups that favor him. His low strikeout rate is promising, but he'll need to improve his on-base skills to become a more consistent fantasy contributor.

The Dodgers activated Jason Heyward from the injured list on Friday.

Heyward joined the Dodgers on Thursday and has officially been activated from the injured list.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Jason Heyward is done with his rehab assignment and will be activated "soon" from the injured list.

It is not clear what the corresponding move will be. Heyward could be activated at some point this weekend.

Jason Heyward (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City Tuesday.

Heyward is scheduled to play Tuesday and Wednesday before being re-evaluated with the team. Based on the currently play of Andy Pages, Heyward does not have a clear role on the Dodgers’ roster once he returns.
