Cardinals right fielder Jason Heyward returned to the field Monday and planned to go through pregame workouts at full speed, uninhibited by the leg injury that forced him out of Sunday’s game. That didn’t mean he was back in the lineup.
The Cardinals have been looking for a reason to give him a day off.
Heyward caught his cleat in the grass at Miller Park when trying to run down a base hit Sunday, and he wrenched his left leg as he turned to throw.
