Jonah Heim's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim (neck) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels with neck stiffness. It doesn't sound like a serious issue, so fantasy managers should consider Heim day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's series finale in Anaheim. In 78 games for the Rangers this season, the switch-hitting backstop is batting .244 (68-for-279) with eight homers, 36 RBI, and one stolen base. In his place, Adolis Garcia is now operating as the designated hitter while Derek Hill enters the lineup to bat ninth against Angels right-hander Roansy Contreras and park in right field.

Over his last 15 games, Heim is 15-for-49 with two home runs and five RBI. Fantasy managers in need of help behind the plate should take a look at Heim.

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim went 2-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers. It was the seventh long ball of the season for the backstop, The 29-year-old has a .234-7-33-25-1 line on the season with a .281 wOBA and 79 wRC+, which is a far cry from his .324 wOBA and 103 wRC+ campaign from a season ago. The switch hitter drove in 95 runs last season in 501 plate appearances but is on pace for just 63 this season. Still, he sits just outside the top-12 at the position for fantasy so he makes for a fine backup catcher if needed.

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-1 romp over the Tigers. The home run was his sixth of the season, but after posting a solid .438 SLG last season, the switch hitter owns a .372 SLG thus far, along with a .295 wOBA and 89 wRC+. Heim's 95 RBI last season led all catchers by a wide margin, but the 28-year-old is on pace for just 72 this season. Still, his current numbers put him in the Top-12 at the catcher position, so if he can build off this game then he could rise further up the ranks in no time.
