Heyward isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Friday against Colorado, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers will face a left-handed starter for the second straight game in Austin Gomber, so Heyward will sit down once again Friday. Mookie Betts will start in right field, and Amed Rosario will get the nod at second base while Heyward is out.

Heyward isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Thursday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Southpaw Ty Blach will start on the mound for the Rockies, so the lefty-hitting Heyward will retreat to the bench to begin Thursday's game. Mookie Betts will shift to right field in Heyward's absence, allowing Amed Rosario to start at second base and bat third.

Heyward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at San Diego, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lefty Rich Hill will take the mound Sunday for the Padres, so Heyward will hit the bench for the fifth time in the Dodgers' past six games. All five of those absences have come against left-handed pitchers as the veteran outfielder continues to be utilized as a strict platoon player. Mookie Betts is again manning right field with Amed Rosario starting at the keystone.

Heyward is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Chris Taylor, Enrique Hernandez and Mookie Betts will start across the outfield for the Dodgers as they face off against A's left-hander JP Sears. Heyward has enjoyed an excellent overall season for Los Angeles, but he is slashing .071/.188/.286 in very limited action versus southpaws.

Heyward went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Heyward didn't start Wednesday, but the Dodgers led 8-1 after three innings. Manager Dave Roberts elected to give Mookie Betts some extra rest, and Heyward played the rest of the game in right field. Heyward has gone 5-for-21 (.238) over his last eight games, but three of those hits have landed over the fence. The outfielder is slashing a decent .248/.342/.476 with 11 long balls, 27 RBI, 40 runs scored and two stolen bases through 240 plate appearances in a strong-side platoon role this season.

Heyward is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The lefty-hitting Heyward will take a seat for the series finale while Toronto brings southpaw Yusei Kikuchi to the hill. Mookie Betts will get a day out of the infield and replace Heyward as the Dodgers' starting right fielder.

Heyward went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 6-3 extra-innings loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Heyward has homered twice in his last four games, but he's still hitting just .189 (7-for-37) in July. The outfielder is up to 10 homers this season, his most since he slugged 21 for the Cubs in 2019. He's slashing .250/.348/.474 with 26 RBI, 39 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases through 230 plate appearances, but his playing time may decrease if he can't shake his recent slump.

Heyward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lefty Martin Perez is pitching Sunday for Texas, so it's not a surprise Heyward will be starting out on the bench. The veteran outfielder has struggled at the plate in July, going 5-for-32 with a .581 OPS. Jonny DeLuca will man right field and bat eighth.
