Roughly a day and a half after delivering a pinch-hit, three-run home run in the eighth inning to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6–3 victory over the visiting Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night, veteran outfielder Jason Heyward found himself without a job.
The Dodgers on Thursday designated the 15-year major-leaguer for assignment. A former All-Star who turned 35 this month, Heyward is batting .208 with six homers and 28 RBIs in 63 games this season.
