CHICAGO -- Jason Heyward did not start for the third consecutive game after he scraped his left hand sliding on the warning track in Pittsburgh trying to catch a foul ball. Heyward has had trouble gripping the bat and throwing.
"He was not ready to hit [Tuesday]," manager Joe Maddon said.
Could Heyward go on the disabled list?
"I don't know," Maddon said. "I'm not ruling it out, I'm not ruling it in. If there's a really good healing process, we'll see him. He's already been down a couple days, we could give it a couple more days with the 10-day DL, it becomes more amenable.
