Atlanta Braves outfielder Jason Heyward is hoping to return to the team before the end of May. On Satuday Heyward will take some swings with a bat and could add some catching and throwing.<\/p>\n

Currently Heyward has been walking on a treadmill and riding a stationary bike as he works his way back from an appendectomy.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody is telling me to take my time,\u201d Heyward told the Atlanta Journal Constitution<\/a>. \u201cYou\u2019ll know (when you\u2019re ready), but it\u2019s still not something to rush. You can end up having a hernia or oblique strain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to going on the disabled list, Heyward had a .121\/.261\/.259 line in 17 games.<\/p>\n

The Braves are also expected to welcome back catcher Brian McCann<\/a> soon which could send Evan Gattis to the outfield for the time being. Currently Jordan Schafer has assumed one of the Braves outfield spots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
