Astros Sign Jason Heyward Amid Outfield Woes

News summary

Veteran outfielder Jason Heyward has signed with the Houston Astros after being released by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Heyward, who struggled this season with a .208 batting average, will fill a crucial role in the Astros' outfield, especially with Kyle Tucker's slow recovery from a shin injury. Heyward’s experience and leadership are highly valued; he has won a World Series and five Gold Glove Awards. Astros manager Joe Espada and GM Dana Brown see Heyward as a valuable addition both on and off the field. The Astros will need to make corresponding roster moves to fit Heyward into their lineup. This move comes amid broader struggles and injuries in the Astros' outfield this season.
