Earns second win of season Heaney (2-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings against the Athletics. He struck out four.

Impact Heaney has allowed just two earned runs over his last 16 innings pitched, after giving up 7 across 2.2 innings on April 4th against Baltimore. The southpaw has been nearly unstoppable since that game, as he also tied the AL record with nine straight strikeouts against Kansas City on April 10th. The 31-year-old is tentatively slated to face the Yankees at home in his next start.

Turns in scoreless outing Heaney allowed two hits and three walks over five shutout frames during Sunday's win over Houston. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Heaney didn't face much trouble during his five scoreless innings. He didn't allow an extra-base hit but he forced just four whiffs on 88 pitches. The 31-year-old southpaw was locked into a pitcher's duel with Framber Valdez and didn't get the win because the scoreless tie wasn't broken until the seventh inning. Heaney will carry a 4.97 ERA into his next start, which is projected to be next week at home against the Athletics.

Fans nine straight to tie AL record Heaney (1-1) earned the win against Kansas City on Monday, allowing an unearned run on two hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters over five innings.

Impact Heaney's outing didn't start off well, as three of the first four batters reached base against him, though one was by way of an error that resulted in an unearned run. Things got significantly better for the left-handed hurler from there, as each of the nine batters he faced following the error went down on strikes. The run of consecutive punchouts tied an American League record and was one behind Tom Seaver's MLB record set in 1970. Heaney finished the outing with a massive 19 swinging strikes and 10 total punchouts in earning his first victory as a Ranger. He's always had big strikeout potential, highlighted by a career-best 13.6 K/9 with the Dodgers last season. However, with a career ERA of 4.60 and after allowing seven runs on 2.2 innings in his season debut, it's hard to count on consistency from Heaney on a game-to-game basis.

Struggles in debut Heaney took the loss Tuesday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks over 2.2 innings against the Orioles. He struck out two.

Impact It was the first start as a member of the Rangers for Heaney, and it did not go well. The southpaw was able to get through the first without blemish, but gave up five in the second including a three-run homer off the bat of Ryan Mountcastle, and he gave up a two-run homer to Jorge Mateo in the third before exiting. The left-hander was around the strike zone with 44-of-69 pitches going for strikes, but he didn't fool hitters whatsoever with his arsenal. Heaney is scheduled for a chance to rebound Monday when he faces the Royals.

Throws final spring game Heaney allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings in Friday's spring start against the Cubs.

Impact This was Heaney's final Cactus League outing, and the right-hander admitted to not being at his best, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Heaney worked this spring to incorporate his changeup -- an offering he threw just 5.1 percent of the time in 2022. The goal is to have a third pitch to play off his fastball/slider mix. The 31-year-old finished the spring with a 6.75 ERA and 1.92 WHIP over 12 innings. Perhaps tinkering with the changeup played a role in those numbers. Heaney is expected to start the Rangers' fifth game of the season, April 4, against Baltimore.

Throws in minor-league game Heaney allowed a solo home run and struck out eight over five innings in a game against minor leaguers Friday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Heaney increased his innings count during what has been a good week for Texas starting pitching. Both Nathan Eovaldi and Jacob deGrom returned to the spring rotation after missing time due to side injuries. Jon Gray threw four shutout innings Thursday before Eovaldi's 3.1 scoreless Friday, and Martin Perez helped Venezuela eliminate the favored Dominican Republic in the WBC. Heaney should take up residence somewhere in the top three spots and could be an option for Opening Day given the delays experienced by deGrom and Eovaldi.

Gets up and down three times Heaney allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five over 2.2 innings in Sunday's spring start against the Mariners.

Impact Heaney worked around a pair of hits in two scoreless innings before Seattle got to him in the third. He was pulled with two outs in the inning but came back out to start the fourth, giving him another chance to move from the bench to the mound. After hitting the first batter in the fourth, his day was done. He made working on his changeup a priority in his third Cactus League start, per Kevin Sherrington of the Dallas Morning News. Heaney will get another three appearances in preparation for the regular season. The left-hander has allowed four runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out 11 over 7.1 spring innings.
