For an operator OH​=U†OS​U in the Heisenberg picture, differentiating the evolution operators gives dOH​/dt=i[HH​,OH​]+U†(∂OS​/∂t)U in units ℏ=1. With no explicit operator time dependence, the second term vanishes. Applying this commutator identity to the canonical momentum and real scalar field gives their operator field equations.
