Jason Heyward is on a winning club, has been reunited with Freddie Freeman and is having fun playing baseball again. The Dodgers are loving every minute.
Jason Heyward, wearing a blue Dodgers batting helmet, smiles as he high-fives multiple teammates in the dugout.The harmonic convergence between the resurrected Jason Heyward and the rampaging Los Angeles Dodgers crystallized beautifully one evening in Baltimore last month.

An inning later, Jake Marisnick pinch-hit for Heyward.
Injury? No. Ejection? Nope.
