Scratched from Tuesday's lineup Heredia has been scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Mets due to right wrist inflammation.
Impact The severity of the wrist issue isn't clear at this point, but Heredia can be considered day-to-day for the time being. Ender Inciarte will start in center field and bat eighth Tuesday.

Sitting for Game 1 of doubleheader Heredia is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.
Impact Though he'll give way to Ender Inciarte in the front end of the twin bill, Heredia appears to have taken back the reins of primary duties in center field. Heredia started at the position in each of Atlanta's last five games, going 8-for-16 with a home run, four doubles, three walks, six runs and three RBI. He was also hit by two pitches, bringing his on-base average up to a monstrous .619 over that five-game stretch.

Homers, reaches base three times Heredia went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Heredia took John Gant deep with two outs in the fifth inning for the first run of the game. It was his only long ball this season other than his two-homer game April 18. In addition, he added a leadoff double in the seventh inning and scored. The 30-year-old is slashing .275/.360/.467 with three homers, 14 RBI and 24 runs in 136 plate appearances. He is not a great fantasy option with his limited power and lack of speed.

Takes back primary CF duties Heredia will start in center field and bat eighth Wednesday against the Red Sox.
Impact Heredia is making his third consecutive start and is in the lineup for the second straight game against a right-handed pitcher, with that usage seemingly indicating that he's retaken control of primary center-field duties from Ender Inciarte. Other than a two-homer, six-RBI game against the Cubs back on April 18, Heredia's box-score lines have typically been empty this season. He has no home runs and seven RBI across his other 36 games.

Remains on bench Heredia remains on the bench for Friday's game against the Marlins.
Impact Heredia started 10 games in a row over a stretch which began back in late May, but he now finds himself on the bench for the third time in five games. Ender Inciarte will start in center field in his absence.

Takes seat in series finale Heredia is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Ender Inciarte will get the nod in center field in place of Heredia, who has been serving as Atlanta's main option at the position with starts in 12 of the team's previous 13 games. During that stretch, Heredia hit .163 with two extra-base hits (both doubles), six runs and one RBI.

Sitting Sunday Heredia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Impact Heredia will get a breather in the series finale after starting in the outfield 15 of Atlanta's last 16 games, during which he slashed .231/.259/.327 with eight runs and three RBI across 52 at-bats. While his spot in Atlanta's everyday lineup appears to be secure for now, Heredia's lack of pop and speed and low placement in the batting order limit his fantasy appeal.

Taking over as primary CF option Heredia will start in center field and bat eighth Tuesday against the Red Sox.
Impact Even with Atlanta reinstating Ender Inciarte (personal) from the paternity list Thursday, Heredia has retained the top job in center field, at least until Cristian Pache returns from the injured list. Heredia, who produced four hits over the weekend during Atlanta's series with Pittsburgh, will pick up his fourth start in the five games since Inciarte has returned to the active roster.

Third straight start Heredia will start in center field and bat eighth Wednesday against the Mets.
Impact Heredia will pick up his third straight start after going 1-for-3 with a double in both of the first two games of the series with the Mets. The 30-year-old will likely move back into a short-side platoon role in center field when Ender Inciarte (personal) returns from the paternity list during Atlanta's upcoming four-game series with the Pirates.

Back in lineup Heredia (hamstring) was activated from the injured list Saturday and will bat eighth and play center field against the Brewers.
Impact Starts are available in center field with Cristian Pache out with a hamstring injury of his own. Heredia and Ender Inciarte figure to split time at the position for now, with a relatively even split to be expected, per David O'Brien of The Athletic.
