Jason Heyward out of the Cubs' lineup against Cincinnati
Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's home game against the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
It's a routine day off for Heyward, and Ben Zobrist will cover left field while Ian Happ moves to second base and Jon Jay enters the lineup to start in center field.
Heyward has only managed a .301 wOBA through 88 games in 2017, and numberFire's models project him to bat .259 while adding 2 home runs, 2 stolen bases and 11 RBI in 120 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
