Jonah Heim Getting A Breather Against Twins
1 year agoTexas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim is starting Friday's contest against the Minnesota Twins on the bench. Austin Hedges will do the catching for Texas and will hit in the nine-hole against Twins right-hander Sonny Gray. It's quite possible that Heim is still bothered by a left-wrist injury that caused him to miss around a month of action. Since returning from the injured list on Aug. 13, he's gone 2-for-24 with no home runs or RBI, eight strikeouts and one run scored in eight games (seven starts). Overall this year, though, Heim has been useful in single-catcher leagues for his power. He currently has 14 home runs, 70 RBI, 50 runs scored and a .267/.325/.452 slash line in 352 at-bats. Hedges will be one to avoid in DFS on Friday at the catcher position.
