He's performed so well that he was recently promoted to the fifth in the order.

Launches home run in loss Heim batted fifth and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-3 loss to Detroit.

Impact Heim went deep in the ninth inning for his fourth home run of the season. This was the second consecutive game hitting out of the five hole, which has featured six different batters over the last nine games. Manager Chris Woodward is trying to find a solution there, and Heim is the latest to get a shot. At various times, the Rangers have batted Nate Lowe and Adolis Garcia fifth, but they have since settled into second and third, respectively. The other 10 players to hit fifth this season have a combined slash of .193/.267/.287.

Makes second straight start Heim started a second consecutive game Tuesday in place of Jose Trevino (triceps). He went 0-for-3 in a 4-2 loss to the Giants.

Impact Manager Chris Woodward told Justice delos Santos of MLB.com that he would have used Trevino on Monday if that game was necessary and was prepared to use him Tuesday if needed. That scenario could have been tested as Adolis Garcia pinch hit for Heim in the ninth inning, but the game ended there. The Rangers revealed that Trevino was dealing with a sore triceps Tuesday and hope the two days off, coupled with a scheduled off-day Wednesday, gets him at full strength for Thursday's series-opener at Houston.
