Rangers Jonah Heim Leaves Game With Injury Texas Rangers All-Star catcher Jonah Heim was forced to leave during his at-bat in the fourth inning against the Houston Astros Wednesday.
Battling wrist soreness Heim was pulled from Wednesday's contest against Houston due to left wrist soreness.
Impact Heim was grabbing at his left side and his left wrist after a swing in the fourth inning, and it's now been confirmed to be the wrist that's giving him problems. The Rangers will keep an eye on Heim, and he'll get to take advantage of Texas' day off Thursday to rest before potentially returning Friday against San Diego.

Impact Heim broke open a close game with a three-run homer in the eighth inning. It was the catcher's second home run in five games since the All-Star break. While memories of Heim's fade in the second half of last season are fresh, it should be noted that he experienced that drop-off after about 300 plate appearances. He's up to 337 plate appearances and has not showed signs of a similar fate in 2023.
