Heyward (groin/hamstring) struck out as a pinch hitter in Monday's loss to Philadelphia.

Analysis:

Although he was held out of the starting lineup Monday, an appearance off the bench bodes well for his chance of returning to action in a full capacity Tuesday. Mark Reynolds made a spot start in right field for the Cards on Monday in Heyward's absence.
