Heim is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Heim has now been on the bench for two straight games and in four of the last five contests in favor of Carson Kelly. It's unlikely there's a changing of the guard at catcher, but Kelly looks set to play more than former No. 2 backstop Andrew Knizner did. Heim is in a 8-for-47 (.170 average) drought at the plate.

Heim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Though he started in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader before bowing out of the lineup for the nightcap, Heim will get another breather Sunday as the Rangers wrap up their series in New York. Carson Kelly will handle the catching duties, forming a battery with starting pitcher Andrew Heaney.

Heim went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Heim, who was held out of the starting lineup the last two games, was back in action Saturday and launched a three-run home run in the fourth inning to wipe out Boston's early 3-0 lead. He's batting just .190 (8-for-42) over 12 games since the All-Star break, but Heim has delivered a few key hits during that stretch, knocking in 10 runs.

Heim is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second straight contest on the bench for the 29-year-old after a run of five straight starts. Heim has a .618 OPS through 93 games this season, and he could have less of an everyday role after the Rangers acquired Carson Kelly, who is starting Friday, from the Tigers last weekend.

Heim is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
After starting in each of the previous five contests, Heim will retreat to the bench as the Rangers close their series in St. Louis with an afternoon contest. Trade-deadline pickup Carson Kelly will draw his first start with the Rangers, filling for Heim at catcher while batting eighth.

Heim went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Heim delivered a two-run single in the third inning, tying the game at three runs apiece. Despite the loss, it was an encouraging night for the Rangers, who watched Heim and Adolis Garcia (two hits, home run, three RBI) make contributions at the plate. Both lineup stalwarts have been slumping. Heim entered the game with a .100 average (3-for-30) over the last nine games, while Garcia batted .143 (5-for-35) over the same stretch.
