Houston Astros Sign Jason Heyward to Bolster Outfield Amid Injuries

Veteran outfielder joins team as Kyle Tucker's recovery from shin injury remains uncertain.

Heyward was released by the Dodgers due to a roster crunch despite his veteran presence.
The Astros need outfield depth with Kyle Tucker sidelined since early June.
Heyward's performance has declined this season, hitting .208 with six home runs.
The Astros hope Heyward can regain his 2023 form, where he hit .269 with 15 homers.
Heyward's leadership and experience are expected to benefit the Astros' playoff push.
