Heyward, 35, has played in parts of 15 major league seasons with the Atlanta Braves, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Chicago Cubs and the Dodgers.

He played in 63 games for the Dodgers this season, hitting .208 with six homers and 28 RBIs. Heyward hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the eighth inning of the Dodgers’ 6-3 win over Seattle on Tuesday night. He spent the past two seasons with Los Angeles.
