Shuttled to COVID-19 IL The Cubs placed Heyward on the COVID-19-related injured list Tuesday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Rafael Ortega will pick up the start in center field in Tuesday's game against the Pirates and should serve as Heyward's primary replacement in the lineup until the latter clears MLB's COVID-19-related protocols.

Steals first base of season Heyward went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Padres.
Impact The stolen base is the first of the season for Heyward, who hasn't done much with the bat, as evidenced by his .603 OPS, which would be a new career low. The veteran stole 20 or more bases in consecutive seasons back in 2014 and 2015, but he doesn't run nearly as much these days. Heyward recorded eight or fewer steals in each of the past five seasons, so don't expect too much more production in that category, despite the swipe Monday.

Scores three times Saturday Heyward went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's win over the Pirates.
Impact The Cubs rolled to an easy 21-0 win, and Heyward got in on the fun with the three runs. The veteran outfielder came into the contest with three runs scored all season, and he's stuck on zero home runs and just two RBI, so he hasn't been particularly productive yet at the plate. Perhaps Saturday's effort will give him a little momentum.
