Jonah Heim Sitting Thursday
Jonah Heim won't be in the team's lineup on Thursday for their road series finale with the Minnesota Twins. It's just a routine day off for him with a day game coming after a night game. Fellow backstop Kyle Higashioka is behind the plate and batting ninth in his absence. Heim is amid a brutal slump, but picked up multiple hits in an outing for the first time since May 20 in Wednesday's loss. The 29-year-old has taken a slight step back this season regarding his plate discipline -- sporting a near-six-point increase in his strikeout rate (24.2%) and a slight drop in walk percentage (4.9%).
