The Los Angeles Dodgers made a tough roster decision by designating Jason Heyward for assignment.

Heyward’s recent heroics, including a clutch home run, weren’t enough to secure his spot. The veteran outfielder hit a three-run homer in a dramatic victory against the Mariners.

Despite this highlight, the Dodgers needed to make roster adjustments. With Chris Taylor returning from injury, the team faced a difficult choice. Ultimately, Heyward was the odd man out, despite his strong contributions. His performance this season has been inconsistent, with a .208 batting average. Heyward’s future is uncertain, as he now enters waivers. The Dodgers continue to prioritize roster flexibility as they push for the playoffs.

This decision shows how tough business decisions are in professional baseball. Fans will be eager to see where Heyward lands next.
