Heim isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Heim drew starts in each of the last three games and went 1-for-8 with two strikeouts during that time. John Hicks will start behind the plate and bat fifth.

Heim started the second game of Sunday's doubleheader and went 1-for-3 in a 10-0 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

It was a nice weekend for Heim, who became the first Buffalo-born major-leaguer to play in the city since 1890. He had two hits in seven trips over two games in front of family and friends. With news that Jose Trevino (forearm) could return from a rehab assignment by the coming weekend, Heim should still be good for multiple starts this week.

Heim is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Heim has been serving as Texas' clear No. 1 catcher for most of the month while Jose Trevino (forearm) has been on the shelf. He'll be given a breather for the first game of the doubleheader while John Hicks catches for Texas, but look for Heim to receive a turn behind the dish in the nightcap.

Heim is not starting Sunday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Heim had a nice day at the plate in Saturday's loss, driving in a pair of runs while logging two singles across five at-bats. He'll get a rest Sunday as John Hicks works behind the dish and bats fifth.

Heim went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's 8-4 extra-innings loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Heim's RBI single in the eighth propelled the game into extra innings, and his 10th-inning run-producing single forced the game into an 11th inning. Heim has hit well in the absence of Jose Trevino (forearm). The 26-year-old backstop is batting .297 (11-for-37) with four extra-base hits, seven RBI and three runs scored over the last 10 games. He's performed so well that he was recently promoted to the fifth in the order.

Heim is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Heim will get a breather a day after blasting his fourth homer of the season. John Hicks will get the start behind the plate and bat fifth against right-hander Jose Urena.

Heim batted fifth and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-3 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Heim went deep in the ninth inning for his fourth home run of the season. This was the second consecutive game hitting out of the five hole, which has featured six different batters over the last nine games. Manager Chris Woodward is trying to find a solution there, and Heim is the latest to get a shot. At various times, the Rangers have batted Nate Lowe and Adolis Garcia fifth, but they have since settled into second and third, respectively. The other 10 players to hit fifth this season have a combined slash of .193/.267/.287.

Heim isn't starting Saturday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Heim has had increased playing time recently with Jose Trevino (forearm) sidelined, but he'll retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games. John Hicks will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Heim went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Heim started a second straight game, as primary backstop Jose Trevino is dealing with a forearm injury. Trevino is listed as day-to-day, so Heim should fill in until the team's top backstop is ready to return. Heim is 12-for-28 (.429) with five extra-base hits, six RBI and five runs scored over his last nine games.

Heim went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 9-4 win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Heim plated Nate Lowe twice in the contest, on a fourth-inning single and a sixth-inning double. In his last seven games, Heim has gone 10-for-22 (.455) with three doubles, a home run, five RBI and four runs scored. He's likely to continue splitting time with Jose Trevino, although Heim has most often fulfilled the backup role behind the dish.
