Keep a close eye on Jason Heyward
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer

Yes, Jason Heyward is back in the Braves' lineup, but that's probably not the most exciting news to his Fantasy owners considering he was batting .121 at the time of his appendectomy in late April. Pretty frustrating.

What's worse is he just looked uncomfortable at the plate, and as we saw in 2011, when his mechanics get out of whack, they're not so easy to fix.

Hopefully, the time away gave him a chance to study film and get his swing right. If he looks halfway decent over the weekend, you'll want to get him active in Fantasy Week 8 (May 20-26). Right now, the Braves are projected to face nothing but right-handers, and they're some of the more hittable pitchers in the Twins and Mets rotations.

Jason Heyward could be activated Friday
by Adam Moore | CBSSports.com

Braves outfielder Jason Heyward could be activated off the 15-day disabled list as soon as Friday, MLB.com reports. Heyward, who underwent an emergency appendectomy April 22, has been rehabbing with Triple-A Gwinnett.

Heyward served as the designated hitter in his first three rehab games but the team wants him to play a few games in right field before he returns.

Heyward is batting .121/.261/.259 with two home runs and five RBI over 58 at-bats.
