Jason Heyward: Cut by Friars
The Padres released Jason Heyward on Tuesday.Though Heyward appears to be healthy again after completing a five-game rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso following a stint on the injured list, the Padres opted to designate him for assignment Saturday rather than adding him back to the 26-man active roster. He ended up going unclaimed off waivers, which doesn't come as a major surprise after he mustered a lowly .494 OPS over 94 plate appearances on the season for San Diego. Now a free agent, the 35-year-old outfielder will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal if he wants to keep his career going.

Padres' Jason Heyward: DFA'd by San Diego
The San Diego Padres designated Jason Heyward (oblique) for assignment Saturday.Heyward served as the Padres' starting left fielder for the early part of the season, but he struggled at the plate with a .494 OPS. He's been on the injured list twice this season and is currently rehabbing a strained left oblique. Heyward could be claimed off waivers by a team looking to add depth to the outfield, as long a club is patient enough to wait for the veteran to fully recover from his injury. The move corresponds with Bryan Hoeing (shoulder) being activated from the 60-day injured list and Sean Reynolds being optioned to Triple-A El Paso.

Padres' Jason Heyward: In midst of rehab assignment
Jason Heyward (oblique) began a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso on Friday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.Heyward's appearance Friday was his first game action since May 22. The veteran outfielder landed on the injured list two days later due to a strained left oblique, and it's unclear how many games he'll play with El Paso before he's ready to be activated. Heyward slotted in as the DH during his first rehab contest, so the San Diego Padres may want him to play the field at least once before bringing him back to the big club.

Padres' Jason Heyward: Lands on injured list
The San Diego Padres placed Jason Heyward on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a left oblique strain.Heyward was left out of the starting lineup for a third consecutive game Saturday, and his oblique injury helps to explain why. He'll now be held out of action until at least early June upon moving to the IL, creating a pathway to regular playing time in left field for Brandon Lockridge, who will bat ninth Saturday. Luis Campusano was recalled from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

Padres' Jason Heyward: Belts homer in rout
Jason Heyward went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored against Colorado in Saturday's 21-0 victory.It's been a rough season so far for Heyward, who is batting just .191 on the campaign, but he got in on the fun during Saturday's offensive onslaught with a three-run homer to left field in the fourth inning. The veteran outfielder continues to start regularly against righties and sit against lefties, a situation that has resulted in him being in the lineup for just three of San Diego's past seven contests. Heyward's platoon role and lack of results this season make him difficult to roster in most fantasy formats.
