St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jason Heyward (hamstring) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Analysis:

Heyward will return to the starting lineup Tuesday after being limited to pinch-hit duty Monday by his hamstring injury. Heyward hit second in every game he appeared in prior to suffering his injury, but he owned just a .583 OPS hitting out of the two hole, so manager Mike Matheny decided to switch things up and slot Heyward into the sixth spot in the order for Tuesday's game.
