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.

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.

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.
