Jason Heyward Stats

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (head) won't recover in time to make it back before the final game of the season, according to Jordan Bastian of MLB.com. He was placed on the injured list on September 14 with a concussion after taking a knee to the head during a game against the San Francisco Giants. He wasn't much help to fantasy managers in any league, slashing just .214/.280/.347 with eight home runs and five stolen bases over 104 games. Nick Martini should keep getting reps in the outfield with Heyward sidelined. He should be left on the waiver wire in every league, as he's posted a .185/.233/.222 OPS in 22 games and bats at the bottom of the Cubs order.

The Cubs recalled outfielder Trayce Thompson from Triple-A to fill Heyward's roster spot. The 32-year-old Heyward is currently having one of his worst offensive seasons. Over 104 games, he's slashing .214/.280/.347 with eight home runs, 30 RBI and 35 runs.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (head) was forced to leave early during Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was stuck in the head when infielder Brandon Crawford attempted to hurdle Heyward. The veteran outfielder was on the ground for several minutes before exiting the game. It wouldn't be surprising to see Heyward placed into concussion protocol. He could very well miss some time, but wasn't a fantasy asset before the injury.
