Cubs' Jason Heyward: Experiencing soreness, expected to return Friday

Heyward is out of the lineup Thursday with a sore left side, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Heyward will now miss a second game after he experienced a little muscle tightness his last time out, but he doesn't believe the injury is overly serious and expects to be ready to go Friday. Ben Zobrist will draw the start in right field Thursday, while Matt Szczur and Albert Almora will round out the Cubs' outfield against Steven Matz.
