Jason Heyward Out for 10 Days with Left Oblique Strain for San Diego Padres

Jason Heyward is out with an injury, affecting the Padres' lineup. In the 2025 season, he has played 34 games and started 22. His batting average is .176 with 15 hits in 85 at-bats. The Padres face the Atlanta Braves next, and Heyward's absence means players like Brandon Lockridge might see more time in left field.

This is not Heyward's first injury this season. He was on the injured list earlier for left knee soreness in April. His recent performance includes an average of .112 over the last ten games. The Padres need to adjust their lineup, as Heyward typically bats eighth.
