Insight: Heisey has a right hamstring strain. He hasn't done much as the fill-in starting left fielder for the injured Ryan Ludwick, batting .173 with two homers and 20 strikeouts in 75 at-bats. Xavier Paul will likely be the everyday left fielder.

Insight: Heisey will start in left field for the next three months with Ryan Ludwick out of action due to a shoulder injury. While he had seven homers in 347 at-bats last season, he belted 18 in 279 in 2011 and should be owned in all NL-only leagues.
