Player Outlook
Jason Heyward enjoyed a career resurgence in his first year in Los Angeles, posting his most plate appearances (374), home runs (15) and RBI (40) since 2019 while finishing with a .269/.340/.473 slash line. His power output was particularly notable, as Heyward has never been known as a major long-ball threat, reaching 20 homers just twice over 14 seasons. The veteran outfielder's hard-hit rate and exit velocity remained in line with his recent campaigns, but he was able to generate substantial increases in launch angle (15.4 percent) and barrel rate (8.1 percent), leading to the late-career power boost. Heyward is no longer an everyday player -- all but 28 of his trips to the plate last season came against right-handed pitching -- but a strong-side platoon role should await him again in 2024 after he re-upped with the Dodgers on a one-year deal.

  • Dodgers' Jason Heyward: Still experiencing soreness

    Heyward (back) continues to deal with soreness and will be required to complete a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. Manager Dave Roberts didn't indicate when Heyward might get the green light to head out on a rehab stint, as the club will likely wait until he's feeling closer to 100 percent before allowing him to move to the next step. Chris Taylor and Enrique Hernandez should continue to see an uptick in opportunities in the corner outfield while Heyward returns to health.

  • Dodgers' Jason Heyward: Hopes to return when eligible

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that he's optimistic Heyward (back) will be ready to return from the IL when first eligible April 13, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. Heyward landed on the injured list earlier this week with lower-back tightness, an issue which the outfielder said was cropping up on days he was coming off the bench. It's not clear whether Heyward might be asked to go out on a short rehab assignment before being activated.

  • Dodgers' Jason Heyward: Lands on injured list

    The Dodgers placed Heyward on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with lower-back tightness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Heyward's back has caused him to miss the Dodgers' last two games, and it will keep him out for at least another 10 days as he moves to the IL. Imaging on his back didn't reveal any significant damage, so an extended absence isn't expected at this time for the 34-year-old outfielder. The Dodgers claimed Taylor Trammell off waivers from the Mariners on Tuesday and added him to the active roster to serve as Heyward's replacement.

  • Dodgers' Jason Heyward: Remains out

    Heyward (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants. Heyward will be sitting for the third straight game after sitting due to a lefty starting Sunday and back tightness Monday. Imaging on the outfielder's back came back negative, but the Dodgers claimed outfielder Taylor Trammell on Tuesday in case Heyward requires a trip to the IL, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. With the right fielder remaining out, Teoscar Hernandez will start in right field and Enrique Hernandez will draw the start in left field.

  • Dodgers' Jason Heyward: Out of lineup versus southpaw

    Heyward is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Heyward will unsurprisingly be on the bench for Sunday's series finale since lefty Steven Matz is on the mound for St. Louis. Chris Taylor will start in left field, pushing Teoscar Hernandez to right.

  • Dodgers' Jason Heyward: In lineup Thursday

    Heyward (back) will start in right field and bat eighth Thursday against the Cardinals. Back tightness prevented Heyward from playing in the Dodgers' final spring training game Tuesday, but the issue appears to have subsided ahead of Thursday's contest. Heyward slashed .250/.276/.429 across 29 spring plate appearances and is already 2-for-6 with two RBI in the regular season after Los Angeles' series against the Padres in South Korea.

  • Dodgers' Jason Heyward: Reaches deal to stay in L.A.

    Heyward agreed Monday with the Dodgers on a one-year, $9 million contract, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports. Heyward and the Dodgers will run it back after he was surprisingly productive in 2023, slashing .269/.340/.473 with 15 home runs and 40 RBI over 377 plate appearances. His .813 OPS this past season was his highest mark since 2012, excluding the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. The 34-year-old should fill a similar role again in 2024, starting in right field against righties while occasionally filling in as a center fielder. The Dodgers' decision to bring back Heyward also means that Mookie Betts will continue to see more action at second base.

  • Dodgers' Jason Heyward: Breaks slump in Coors Field

    Heyward went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in a 4-1 loss to the Rockies during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

The roller coaster ride has left the veteran outfielder with a .328/.350/.534 slash line in 60 plate appearances on the month with six doubles, two homers, five RBI and eight runs.

  • Dodgers' Jason Heyward: Belts 14th homer

    Heyward went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 11-4 loss to the Marlins.

Over that stretch, Heyward is slashing .405/.421/.676 with three of his 14 homers on the season. He continues to sit against southpaws, but the 34-year-old is a must-start for fantasy purposes when a righty is on the mound for the opposition as long as his hot streak lasts.
