Rangers' Jonah Heim: Logs third homer
Heim started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.
Heim's two-run homer in the fifth inning turned out to be the game-winning knock. It was the third home run of the season for Heim, who leads the Rangers with seven RBI over nine games played. While he and Kyle Higashioka have alternated at catcher, Heim has been used as a DH three times thus far and could continue filling that role frequently if the bat holds up.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: Walks off Rays
Heim went 2-for-4 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rays.
Heim had a rare steal in the seventh inning and scored a run, but his greatest contribution was a walk-off single that plated Josh Smith with the game-winning run. The stolen base was Heim's first since April 15, 2024, and he's 9-for-11 in his career on stolen-base attempts. He's splitting time at catcher with Kyle Higashioka, which could benefit Heim's production. He's had issues after All-Star breaks while averaging 130 games played over the previous three seasons.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: Sitting again Saturday
Heim isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.
Heim and Kyle Higashioka have essentially alternated starts at catcher to begin the season, though Saturday will be the second consecutive game that Heim has begun on the bench despite going 4-for-13 with two homers in his four outings.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: Out of lineup Friday
Heim is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.
Kyle Higashioka will make another start behind the plate, catching for Tyler Mahle. Through eight games, each catcher has been in the starting lineup four times. Heim is slashing .308/.308/.769 with two home runs, two RBI and two runs scored through 13 plate appearances on the young season.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: Taking seat Tuesday
Heim is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.
Heim and Kyle Higashioka have now drawn three starts apiece in the Rangers' first six games of the season. It will likely continue to be a fairly even playing time split between the two catchers.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: Giving way to Higashioka on Sunday
Heim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Heim and Kyle Higashioka ended up splitting time behind the plate during the season-opening series with the Red Sox, with the two backstops picking up a pair of starts apiece. While it's unclear if the timeshare arrangement will continue all season long, Heim's hold on the No. 1 catching job in Texas at least appears to be more tenuous coming off a dismal 2024 campaign in which he mustered a .603 OPS over 491 plate appearances. Heim has gotten off to a nice start through his first two games of 2025, popping a pair of solo home runs in six plate appearances.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: Rounds bases twice
Heim went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Texas' 4-1 win over the Red Sox on Friday.
Swatting a pair of home runs is not a bad way to collect your first two hits of the season, and with that, Heim now has two multi-HR games across his five seasons in the majors. His first home run in the third inning Friday barely cleared the right-field wall, but his fifth-inning shot was a bit more convincing at 417 feet. Although Heim didn't start the season opener, he's expected to remain the Rangers' 1A this season and is showing early signs of a bounce-back campaign after finishing 2024 with a .603 OPS.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: On bench for opener
Heim is out of the lineup for Thursday's season opener versus the Red Sox.
Heim has served as Texas' primary backstop for the past three seasons, but he'll give way to Kyle Higashioka behind the plate as the Rangers open the 2025 campaign. After he saw his OPS drop 152 points from .755 in 2023 to .603 in 2024, Heim could be at risk of moving into more a timeshare at catcher with Higashioka in the fold. Higashioka is coming off a 2024 season in San Diego in which he posted a .739 OPS over 263 plate appearances during the regular season.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: Logs two hits Saturday
Heim went 2-for-2 with a run scored, threw out a runner attempting to steal and picked off a runner at third base in Saturday's spring game against the Brewers.
Heim had a strong game after fellow catcher Kyle Higashioka belted two home runs and drove in six a day earlier. The two backstops are expected to have a relatively even share behind the plate, which could help the switch-hitting Heim maintain a strong bat all season and avoid a second-half fade.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: Reaches deal with Rangers
Heim and the Rangers agreed to a one-year, $4.6 million contract to avoid arbitration Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Heim is entering his second year of arbitration eligibility and will earn a $1.5 million raise from 2024. He's coming off of a disappointing season, as he slugged only 13 homers with a .602 OPS across 491 plate appearances. Heim is currently projected to split time behind the plate with newly acquired Kyle Higashioka in 2025.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: Will share time with Higashioka
Rangers general manager Ross Fenstermaker said Tuesday that Heim and Kyle Higashioka will receive equal playing time at catcher next season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
It's not a surprise to hear that Higashioka will play extensively after the Rangers announced a two-year, $13.5 million contract with the veteran catcher. Heim made the All-Star team and won a Gold Glove in 2023, but fell off to just a .602 OPS and also saw his defensive metrics dip significantly in 2024.

Heim went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.
Heim tied the game up in the top of the eighth with a solo home run off Scott Alexander for his first long ball since Aug. 31. Heim does have seven hits over his last six games but is hitting just .173 since the All-Star break. It's been a down year offensively for the 29-year-old, who's now slashing .218/.265/.333 with 13 homers, 57 RBI, 43 runs, a steal and a 25:85 BB:K in 475 plate appearances.
