Heyward Injury Update

According to the guys at Talking Chop, Jason Heyward's official diagnosis is hamstring/gluteal tendinitis, which sounds worse than a strain. Isn't tendinitis more of a recurring thing or based on recurring injuries? I know he has suffered from nagging leg problems in the past.

Heyward will be flying to Atlanta to get a diagnosis from the Braves doctors, because we like them more. That will happen this Tuesday, and a decision on his further participation in the AFL will be based on his doctor's visit.

Heyward isn't exactly immune to being injured, so this shouldn't be a complete shock. The Braves need to do everything they can to prevent these injuries from hindering his countdown to a big league debut, especially if he's expected to make the team out of spring. Shutting him down for the winter isn't a bad idea, and I don't think it would hurt his chances.
