The appearance of the seed heads is a sign of stress for your lawn. It could be heat, drought, disease, insects etc. It can also come from seasonal changes such as from spring to summer when humidity increases.
Don’t pull them!! Just cut your grass normally and mulch these into your yard. They contain a lot of moisture and nutrients that your yard needs. As your grass comes out of its stress you’ll see fewer of them.
