Starts after Heim gets scratched Trevino will start at catcher and bat ninth Monday against the Red Sox. Impact Trevino had been in line to receive Monday off, but he was a late addition to the lineup after No. 1 catcher Jonah Heim was scratched due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. Considering that the Rangers have placed four players on the COVID-19 injured list within the past four days, Heim could be a candidate to move to the IL ahead of Texas' three-game series in Cleveland that begins Tuesday. If that's the case, Trevino would be in store for at least a short-term run as Texas' top backstop.
