Homers in loss Heim started at catcher and went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Angels.

Impact Heim swatted his fifth homer in the eighth inning, giving the Rangers their first run. After a hot start to the season, Heim has scuffled since. His fourth-inning single ended a hitless run of 12 consecutive at-bats, and the catcher is 8-for-41 (.195) over the last 12 games after batting .356 over the first 16 contests. For now, he'll serve as the primary catcher while Mitch Garver is limited to DH duties. Sam Huff lurks on the bench and could emerge with more opportunities if Heim continues to slump.

Not starting Sunday Heim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Houston.

Impact The 26-year-old started the past four games and will receive a day off in the series finale versus the Astros. Mitch Garver has returned from the injured list but is limited to serving as the designated hitter, so Heim will continue to work as Texas' primary catcher while Sam Huff, who is starting Sunday, operates as the No. 2 option.

Remains primary backstop With Mitch Garver expected to serve as designated hitter only for the foreseeable future, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, Heim is expected to get most of the starts behind the plate...

Impact Garver was activated off the injured list, where he was while recovering from a right forearm strain. He was the DH on Thursday while Heim went 1-for-4 as the starting catcher. It's uncertain when Garver will be cleared to begin a throwing program, which means Heim should get opportunities over the next few games.

Starting at catcher Heim is starting Thursday's game against the Astros.

Impact Although Mitch Garver (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, he hasn't yet been cleared to resume throwing. Garver will be able to serve as the designated hitter now that he's back on the active roster, but Heim should continue to see plenty of playing time behind the dish while Garver is limited to DH work.
