The San Diego Padres have designated veteran outfielder Jason Heyward for assignment ahead of Saturday’s game against the Kansas City Royals. The Friars activated reliever Bryan Hoeing off the 60-day injured list, and in a corresponding move, optioned right-handed pitcher Sean Reynolds to Triple-A El Paso. Heyward was the Padres’ starting left fielder at the start of the season, but struggled as he posted a .494 OPS.
