Heim went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's 9-1 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Heim had a strong start to the season and held up well when a Mitch Garver (forearm) injury forced him into an everyday job at catcher. His fortunes, however, have turned since the break; Heim's batting just .183 in the second half and has two hits over the last 36 at-bats. He eclipsed his previous MLB career high in plate appearances in late July and is now up to 387 for the season, which could partially explain the diminished production.

Heim isn't in the lineup Wednesday against Houston.

Heim is on the bench for the second time in the last three matchups after he went 0-for-16 with a run, two walks and a strikeout over his last five games. Meibrys Viloria is starting behind the dish and batting eighth.

Heim went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Heim's sixth-inning single brought home the Rangers' lone run, but he could have had another RBI two innings earlier. With two outs and Nathaniel Lowe on first base, Heim doubled, but Lowe, who appeared to hesitate on what might be considered an aggressive send by third base coach Corey Ragsdale, was thrown out at home. Heim has taken on a larger-than-expected workload in 2022, thanks in part to Mitch Garver's arm injury, and has responded well. His 340 plate appearances are a career high in the majors, and the catcher is slashing .252/.324/.443.

Heim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the A's.

EDGE Analysis

Heim started the past three games and will take a seat for Sunday afternoon's series finale versus Oakland. Meibrys Viloria will take over behind the plate for Texas.

Heim went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in a 7-4 win over the Mariners on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Heim had a productive night at the plate, rapping out a couple of doubles to give him 18 on the season. Heim's performance could be a sign that he is about to come out of a terrible August slump which had seen him slash .074/.242/.185 over 27 at-bats this month entering Saturday's game. The 27-year-old catcher is still in the midst of a productive season and has a 2.7 WAR, according to Baseball-Reference.
