Jason Heyward: (Back) In Saturday's Lineup

Heyward (back) is in the lineup Saturday against the Padres.

Analysis:

After testing his sore lower back in pregame warmups, Heyward was given the green light to return from his four-game absence. He'll return to right field and the five-hole in the batting order to take on right-hander Ian Kennedy. In nine career plate appearances against Kennedy, Heyward has two hits (both doubles) and two walks.
