Feeling better, but sitting Monday Heyward (illness) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact After he experienced light-headedness and shortness of breath in Sunday's 7-3 loss, Heyward was sent in for a battery of tests, with manager David Ross specifically noting Monday that the outfielder is feeling better and hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com. The Cubs are hopeful a day off or two will be all Heyward needs before he's ready to check back into the starting nine. Cameron Maybin will spell him in right field Monday and will bat eighth in the order.

Goes deep twice Sunday Heyward went 2-for-3 with two walks and two solo home runs in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Reds.
Impact Heyward is now up to five home runs through 29 games and has a strong .962 OPS. The 31-year-old offers a ton of value defensively in right field, but he also managed 21 home runs and a .772 OPS in 2019, and it looks like he should be able to post solid stats once again this season.

Connects for third homer Heyward went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Reds.
Impact Heyward made things very interesting in the ninth, going back-to-back with Willson Contreras against Robert Stephenson to cut the Reds' lead to one. He is putting together a nice season with a .270/.389/.500 slash line, although the counting stats leave quite a bit to be desired (three homers, one steal through 26 games).
