Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Heyward is essentially a replacement-level outfielder entering his age-35 season, but he found the perfect team to give him regular work -- the cash-strapped Padres. He figures to open the year on the strong side of a left-field platoon after singing a one-year, $1 million deal. In 2024, Heyward slashed .211/.288/.412 with 10 home runs and five steals in 87 games split between the Dodgers and Astros. His defense isn't great, but he's not a butcher out there, and he'll provide the Friars with a veteran presence in the clubhouse, but Heyward is simply a body from a fantasy standpoint. The best thing that can be said for him is that he doesn't have anyone notable behind him pushing for playing time. Read Past Outlooks

Returns from injured list
The Padres reinstated Heyward (knee) from the injured list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Heyward landed on the injured list April 19 with knee inflammation, but he won't need any more than the minimum 10 days before returning to the Padres' lineup. Prior to his injury, the 35-year-old had been slashing .233/.303/.333 across 33 plate appearances since the start of April.

Stat Review
How does Jason Heyward compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Heyward enjoyed a career resurgence in his first year in Los Angeles, posting his most plate appearances (374), home runs (15) and RBI (40) since 2019 while finishing with a .269/.340/.473 slash line. His power output was particularly notable, as Heyward has never been known as a major long-ball threat, reaching 20 homers just twice over 14 seasons. The veteran outfielder's hard-hit rate and exit velocity remained in line with his recent campaigns, but he was able to generate substantial increases in launch angle (15.4 percent) and barrel rate (8.1 percent), leading to the late-career power boost. Heyward is no longer an everyday player -- all but 28 of his trips to the plate last season came against right-handed pitching -- but a strong-side platoon role should await him again in 2024 after he re-upped with the Dodgers on a one-year deal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Takes grounders at first base
Heyward took grounders at first base before Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Heyward told reporters that he's getting comfortable in case of an emergency or blowout situation. The outfielder is hitting just .235 in his 17 at-bats with the Dodgers to open 2023, but he has shown off his power with three homers and five RBI over seven games. If Heyward continues to show some pop, it's also another way to get his bat in the lineup on days the Dodgers want Freddie Freeman to rest.
