Cubs' Jason Heyward: Back in lineup after weekend off

Heyward is back in the lineup Monday after taking the weekend off.

Analysis:

Heyward hasn't played since Wednesday against Milwaukee, as manager Joe Maddon gave him the weekend off to clear his head in the midst of a season-long batting slump. Heyward is hitting a measly .225 on the year, and he's just 9-for-48 at the plate in August. He'll slot back into the lineup Monday in right field, with Dexter Fowler in center and Kris Bryant in left.
