Heyward (thumb) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Pirates.
Analysis:
Heyward missed four games with swelling in his left thumb and was still unable to grip a bat Sunday. However, his condition has apparently improved, and he'll be back in the mix, batting fifth and playing his usual right field, against the Pirates and starter Gerrit Cole.
