Heyward (knee) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heyward will sit for the fifth consecutive game as he manages soreness in his right knee. The possibility of a stint on the injured list was mentioned Wednesday by manager David Ross, and the outfielder's continued absence Thursday only increases those odds.

Heyward (knee) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Heyward is dealing with a sore right knee and will be out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game. His injury hasn't improved much over the last few days, so manager David Ross indicated Wednesday that the outfielder could require an IL stint, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. Nelson Velazquez will start in right field and bat sixth.
