Jason Heyward News: Sitting Saturday

Heyward isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Heyward will head to the bench for the third game in a row -- two of which have been against right-handed starters -- while Brandon Lockridge starts in left field and bats ninth. The 35-year-old Heyward is batting just .176 with a .494 OPS on the season, putting him at risk of falling down the depth chart.
