Braves' Heyward not in lineup Wednesday vs. Dodgers

Atlanta outfielder Jason Heyward (back) remains out of the Braves' lineup Wednesday, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Heyward was hoping to return to the lineup Wednesday after missing just one start, but manager Fredi Gonzalez will play it safe and hold the 24-year-old out for at least one additional day. Gonzalez previously suggested that Heyward would make it back before the end of the Dodgers series, so it seems likely Heyward will return to right field for Thursday's finale. Jordan Schafer will draw the start there in his absence.
