On bench Wednesday Heyward is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Though the Dodgers are facing a right-hander (Xzavion Curry) in the series finale, the lefty-hitting Heyward will take a seat Wednesday. Heyward recently overcame a hip issue, so manager Dave Roberts may just be exercising some caution by keeping the veteran out of the lineup a day after he went 0-for-2 while playing six innings in right field. Mookie Betts will get a day out of the infield and spell Heyward in right field Wednesday.

Impact Heyward suffered the injury while making a sliding catch and left after grabbing a hit in his lone at-bat. The Dodgers haven't indicated that the issue is particularly serious, but with lefty Braxton Garrett on the hill for the Marlins on Saturday, Heyward is probably due to sit even if fully healthy.

The outfielder is slashing a decent .248/.342/.476 with 11 long balls, 27 RBI, 40 runs scored and two stolen bases through 240 plate appearances in a strong-side platoon role this season.

The outfielder is up to 10 homers this season, his most since he slugged 21 for the Cubs in 2019. He's slashing .250/.348/.474 with 26 RBI, 39 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases through 230 plate appearances, but his playing time may decrease if he can't shake his recent slump.

JULY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench vs. southpaw Heyward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Lefty Martin Perez is pitching Sunday for Texas, so it's not a surprise Heyward will be starting out on the bench. The veteran outfielder has struggled at the plate in July, going 5-for-32 with a .581 OPS. Jonny DeLuca will man right field and bat eighth.

Blasts three-run homer Heyward slugged a three-run home run in his lone plate appearance in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Orioles.

Impact Heyward's ninth home run of the season accounted for most of the damage in the Dodgers' five-run second inning, which gave starter Michael Grove all the run support he would need on the evening. He ended up being replaced for pinch hitter Jake Marisnick in the third inning, but Heyward's early exit wasn't the result of any setback with the neck stinger he picked up over the weekend. In fact, Heyward is back in the lineup Wednesday for a day game after a night game, manning right field and batting sixth.
