Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson will be out of the starting lineup on Thursday versus the New York Mets. Pederson has been off to an awful start with his new team and is hitting a weak .137 with one home run and four RBI. Pederson came to the Cubs with the opportunity to play against left-handed pitchers, but with that and his current slump, manager David Ross has decided let him sit his second consecutive game with lefty Joey Lucchesi on the hill. Pederson will be replaced in the lineup...

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward went 1-for-4 with a single, a stolen base and run scored in Tuesday's victory versus the New York Mets. Heyward picked up the Cubs first hit of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning with two outs and that would rally the Cubs to score two runs in the inning and knockout starter Taijuan Walker. Heyward is now hitting .200 and has one home run, two RBI and one stolen base. The veteran doesn't offer much offensively and should be left on the waiver wire...

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward went 2-for-3 with a double on Wednesday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. It was the veterans first multi-hit game since the second game of the season. The outfielder is now hitting .200 with one home run and two RBI. Heyward hasn't been a useful option for managers for a few seasons and he should continue to remain on the waiver wire in all formats.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward will rest on Monday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. With left-hander Brett Anderson on the hill, it makes sense to give the veteran outfielder a day off. Heyward is 2-for-11 on the season with a home run, but most of his value comes on defense and managers can feel safe leaving Heyward on the waiver wire. Utility man Matt Duffy will replace Heyward in the lineup and bat eighth with Kris Bryant shifting from third base to right field. Duffy is nothing more ...

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward went 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Saturday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Heyward quietly had a solid 2020 campaign, but even so is in the lineup more for his defense. Manager David Ross is going to deploy Heyward as the everyday right fielder, but managers would be best served leaving the veteran on the waiver wire with many more attractive options with better upside available at this point of the season.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward has yet to hit a home run this spring. Heyward is hitting just .250 with one RBI and one stolen base thus far. The outfielder is one of the better defenders at his position and that will keep him in the everyday lineup. Heyward has a solid 2020 campaign with a .265 batting average to go along with six home runs and 22 RBI, but managers are better off taking a chance on a player with more upside, even in the deepest of leagues.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward played hero for the Cubs on Saturday night versus the Milwaukee Brewers. With the Cubs down 2-0 in the top of the ninth inning, Heyward took Josh Hader deep with a three-run blast to put the Cubs on top. The Cubs offense as a whole has been a disappointment this season, but Heyward has been one of the few bright spots. The veteran is now hitting .283 with six home runs and 20 RBI. Managers can consider him in deeper mixed leagues as an outfield option.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. He will start in right field and bat seventh against Trevor Bauer. Heyward has missed the past two games with flu-like symptoms, but he tested negative for COVID-19 several times. The 31-year-old will look to continue a productive 2020 season where he has slashed .300/.415/.540 with five homers and 17 RBI in 100 at-bats. Alas, he is not a recommended DFS option on ...

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (illness) is not part of the starting lineup on Monday as the team wraps up a five-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals. Heyward left Sunday's game after the fifth inning as he was feeling light-headed and he's apparently still dealing with something related to Sunday's maladies. He should be considered day-to-day at this point. Cameron Maybin is covering Heyward's typical right field post on Monday.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward has left Sundays contest early as he is not feeling well. Heyward left after five innings and finished the game 0-for-2. Cameron Maybin has replaced Heyward in the lineup. More should be known on the outfielders status as the evening goes along, but he should be considered day-to-day.
