Jonah Heim Getting A Breather Against Twins
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.
