Fresh after two-day break Heim went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over Baltimore.

Impact Heim returned to the lineup following a two-day respite. The catcher entered Saturday's game on a 1-for-23 stretch, but the time off appears to be what was needed. He fell off in the second half of 2022 after a strong start, and the Rangers are expected to take steps to prevent a similar situation this season.

The unique and unexpected breakout of Rangers catcher Jonah Heim

Delivers winning run Heim went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Monday's 2-1 win over Seattle.

Impact Heim plated the game-winning run as part of the Rangers' two-run uprising in the seventh inning. He ranks third on the team and 11th overall with 27 RBI.

Drives in three Heim went 2-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Angels.

Impact Heim continues to perform as one of the best-hitting catchers in MLB. He ranks second at the position in RBI (26), average (.305) and slugging (.568), and fourth in OBP (.374). The 27-year-old backstop is expected to serve as the team's primary catcher until Mitch Garver (knee) becomes available -- Texas manager Bruce Bochy recently targeted a May 23 return -- and likely remain in the role going forward, given Garver's injury history and the team's desire to sustain his availability for the rest of the season.

Registers first steal Heim went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

Impact Heim has gone 10-for-24 (.417) at the plate over his last six contests, adding two home runs, five RBI and six runs scored in that span. While he didn't generate any scoring Friday, he was able to record his first steal of the campaign. The catcher is slashing .300/.373/.578 with six homers, 23 RBI, 18 runs scored and seven doubles through 102 plate appearances.

Homers in loss Heim went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 12-7 loss to Arizona.

Impact Heim gave the Rangers an early lead with a second-inning home run, his sixth homer and 13th extra-base hit in 25 games. His .959 OPS is second on the team, as Heim has opened this season much like he did in 2022. The Rangers hope to avoid the second-half collapse the 27-year-old experienced last season. The team envisioned more of a job share at catcher, but Mitch Garver's knee injury has forced Heim into the lineup more than expected -- Wednesday was his eighth consecutive start. Cognizant of last year's collapse, Texas manager Bruce Bochy had him DH on Wednesday, the second time in six games he's served in that capacity.

Homers again Heim went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

Impact Heim was part of a four-run outburst in the first inning, but starter Jon Gray gave it all back, and Texas dropped the first game of the series. It was the second straight at-bat with a three-run home run for Heim, who finished off Thursday's win over the Royals with a ninth-inning homer. He has four homers and 14 RBI through 14 games. With news that Mitch Garver (knee) will need at least another month, Heim will continue on as the primary catcher. He thrived last season in the role until slumping after July when he reached a career high in plate appearances.
