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.
Impact 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 in that vein if the bat holds up.

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.
Impact 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 in the second half of the season while averaging 130 games played over the previous three seasons.

Impact Kyle Higashioka will make another start behind the plate, catching 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.

Giving way to Higashioka on Sunday Heim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact 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.

Rounds bases twice Heim went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Texas' 4-1 win over the Red Sox on Friday.
Impact Swatting a pair of home runs is not a bad way to collect your first two hits of the season, and in doing so, 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' primary catcher this season and is showing early signs of a bounce-back campaign after finishing 2024 with a .603 OPS.

On bench for opener Heim is out of the lineup for Thursday's season opener versus the Red Sox.
Impact 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.
