Dodgers' Jason Heyward Placed on 10-Day IL Due to Back Tightness

The Los Angeles Dodgers have moved outfielder Jason Heyward to the injured list following lower back tightness, with Taylor Trammell claimed off waivers to fill the roster spot.

Jason Heyward, a five-time Gold Glove winner, has been placed on the 10-day injured list by the Los Angeles Dodgers due to lower back tightness.
The injury announcement comes after Heyward missed the Dodgers' last three games, with scans revealing no major issues but persistent stiffness.
In response, the Dodgers have claimed outfielder Taylor Trammell off waivers from the Seattle Mariners to occupy Heyward's roster spot.
Heyward's injury raises questions about the Dodgers' outfield lineup and could potentially lead to Mookie Betts returning to right field.
The 34-year-old outfielder had a bounce-back year with the Dodgers in 2023, hitting .269 with 15 home runs and 40 RBIs in 124 games.
