Scores twice in return Heyward (illness) went 1-for-4 with two runs scored in Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Brewers.

Impact Heyward was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list before the game after missing more than two weeks of action. The veteran outfielder played in right Wednesday with Seiya Suzuki (finger) currently on the mend. When Suzuki returns, Heyward will likely shift back to center, where he'll contend with Rafael Ortega and rookie Christopher Morel for playing time. Even if Heyward continues to see regular playing time, his .549 OPS doesn't offer much hope for offensive production the rest of the way.

Impact The 32-year-old spent over two weeks on the COVID-19 IL, but he was cleared to resume baseball activities Wednesday. While Heyward saw most of his playing time in center field prior to his absence, he'll start in right field Wednesday since Seiya Suzuki (finger) is on the 10-day injured list. Christopher Morel will remain in the lineup in center field during the series finale against the Brewers.
