Cardinals make Heyward late addition to Friday's lineup vs. Padres

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jason Heyward (hamstring) has been added to Friday's lineup against the San Diego Padres, Pat Parris of FOX Sports Midwest reports.

Analysis:

Absent from manager Mike Matheny's initial lineup, Heyward evidently showed enough during batting practice to warrant a return after missing two starts with the hamstring issue. Heyward, who is batting .330/.387/.500 since the All-Star break, will bat cleanup against right-hander Andrew Cashner in the series opener in San Diego.
