Chris Heisey is dealing with a strained oblique. Heisey evidently suffered the injury during batting practice. "I don't know how bad," he said. "I'm hoping a couple of days." While we appreciate the optimism, players rarely miss only "a couple of days" with oblique strains. A stint on the DL certainly is possible. Fred Lewis and Yonder Alonso will handle left field while Heisey is out.
