Heim will start at catcher and bat ninth Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Though Heim in the lineup Wednesday, the playing time at catcher has swung in the favor of Jose Trevino of late. Trevino caught each of the past three games and seems to have temporarily solidified himself as Option 1A behind the plate for Texas.

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

EDGE Analysis

Jose Trevino will be behind the plate for Texas in the series finale, but Heim seems to have emerged as the Rangers' favored backstop of late. Heim started at catcher in four of the Rangers' previous six games, going 6-for-15 with a home run, a double, a walk, three runs and two RBI.

Heim went 3-for-5 with a double, home run, two runs and two RBI in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Heim knocked a single in the second, two-run homer in the third and double in the eighth for his best all-around game of the season. The hits ended a 13 at-bat hitless stretch for Texas' reserve catcher who now sports a .188/.241/.363 slash line.

Heim will catch and bat ninth Wednesday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

He'll crack the lineup for only the second time in six games while No. 1 catcher Jose Trevino gets a breather for the day game after a night game. The Rangers had divvied up the starts between the backstops more evenly in May, but Heim has seemingly settled into a clear backup role at this point. The 25-year-old switch-hitter is slashing a weak .167/.228/.306 across 80 plate appearances in his first season in Texas.

Heim started a second consecutive game Tuesday in place of Jose Trevino (triceps). He went 0-for-3 in a 4-2 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Chris Woodward told Justice delos Santos of MLB.com that he would have used Trevino on Monday if that game was necessary and was prepared to use him Tuesday if needed. That scenario could have been tested as Adolis Garcia pinch hit for Heim in the ninth inning, but the game ended there. The Rangers revealed that Trevino was dealing with a sore triceps Tuesday and hope the two days off, coupled with a scheduled off-day Wednesday, gets him at full strength for Thursday's series-opener at Houston.

Heim went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and another run scored during Thursday's win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

With the Rangers trailing by one in the seventh frame, Heim stepped up to the plate with two outs and evened the score with a long ball against Hansel Robles. The Rangers eventually pulled ahead with an extra innings victory in the 10th. Across 12 games, the 25-year-old backstop has hit two homers while batting .125/.182/.325.

Heim (neck) was available to play Monday, Sam Blum of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heim had been removed from Sunday's game after taking a foul ball to the neck area. Manager Chris Woodward said the catcher was fine and available to play.

Heim was removed from Sunday's game against the Red Sox in the top of the eighth inning with an apparent injury, Chris Halicke of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heim was hit under the mask while blocking a ball in the dirt Sunday and was visited by trainers afterward. The backstop wanted to stay in the game, but the trainers removed him from the contest. The exact nature of Heim's injury isn't yet clear, and it's unknown whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.

Heim went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 7-4 loss to San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Heim's second-inning double snapped an 0-for-34 skid for the Rangers, who were no-hit Friday and last had a base hit in the eighth inning Thursday. He's started three games and is 3-for-11 with two doubles, a home run and three runs scored in relief of Jose Trevino.

Heim went 1-for-3 with a stolen base, a double, a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Heim drew a walk in the fourth inning and stole second base as part of a double-steal with Brock Holt. They both came around to score on Isiah Kiner-Falefa's two-run single. The 25-year-old Heim is expected to be limited to the backup catcher role behind usual starter Jose Trevino. Heim had a modest .211/.268/.211 slash line with five RBI and five runs scored across 41 plate appearances for the Athletics in 2020.
