Chris Heisey: Cut loose by Minnesota
Chris Heisey was released by the Twins on Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic Minnesota reports.Heisey never stood much of a chance to crack the active roster, and his .444 OPS in 36 spring plate appearances affirmed that notion. He has a wealth of big-league experience that could prove to be helpful in a minor-league deal, but his career numbers in the big leagues are nothing to get excited about.

Twins' Chris Heisey: Joins Twins on minors deal
Chris Heisey signed a minor-league contract with the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday which includes an invitation to spring training, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.Heisey appeared in just 38 games for the Nationals last season due to a pair of injuries, struggling to a .162/.215/.270 slash line across 79 plate appearances when healthy. An impressive spring could help the 33-year-old break camp as a reserve outfielder, though he'll likely serve as organizational outfield depth in 2018. He owns a combined .216/.276/.387 slash line across the past five seasons.

Nationals' Chris Heisey: Runs bases Thursday
Chris Heisey (groin) was able to run the bases prior to Thursday's game against the Brewers, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.This marks the first time that Heisey tested out his groin on the bases after landing on the disabled list Sunday. The outfielder should be able to return once he's eligible, as this appears to be a minor setback. Heisey is hitting .162/.215/.270 in just 38 games, but should have no problem wrestling away playing time in the thin Washington outfield.

Nationals' Chris Heisey: Tweaks groin on triple
Chris Heisey hurt his groin while legging out a triple in Saturday's game, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.He went 1-for-4 with a run and a walk, but that one hit was costly, as it sounds like he will be unavailable for Sunday's series finale against the Diamondbacks. Ryan Raburn is going on the bereavement list Sunday and Jayson Werth and Michael Taylor are already on the DL, so the Washington Nationals' outfield will be stretched incredibly thin in the short term.

Nationals' Chris Heisey: Reinstated from DL
Chris Heisey (bicep) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Friday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.Heisey hasn't played since May 23 while recovering from a right bicep rupture and was delayed by an unfortunate setback during his rehab assignment. Nonetheless, the veteran outfielder appears good to go after appearing in five contests with Triple-A Syracuse and returns to bolster an injury-depleted Washington Nationals outfield. With Jayson Werth (toe) and Michael Taylor (oblique) both sidelined indefinitely, Heisey could see plenty of opportunities to make a case for extensive playing time.
