Heyward is scheduled to have more tests on Monday. The recently-named SAL All-Star has been out of the lineup for the past two games, and won’t return until Monday night at the earliest, Ingle said.

Heyward said on Friday that he had never before had problems with his shoulder or knee, and said he isn’t sure what caused the injuries to flare up.

For now, the extent of his injuries is anyone’s guess.

“We’ll just have to wait and see what the tests say on Monday,” said Ingle."
