Carson Kelly - Clubs eighth homerKelly went 3-for4 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored during Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Yankees.
ImpactKelly started the final two games of the series and was productive in both contests, going 4-for-8 with a walk, a homer, four RBI and three runs. The 30-year-old was acquired ahead of the trade deadline to serve as the primary backup to starting catcher Jonah Heim, but Kelly has started five of Texas' 10 games since the trade. Kelly has a .738 OPS for the season and has gone 6-for-17 with the Rangers, which is significantly more productive than Heim's .619 OPS. Kelly could continue carving out a larger share of the playing time if those offensive trends continue.

Andrew Heaney - Handed 12th lossHeaney (4-12) took the loss Sunday against the Yankees after he gave up four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.
ImpactThe left-hander labored throughout the contest and had given up two runs through his first four frames, but he departed with runners on the corners with two outs in the fifth inning and had those baserunners added to his tally when Giancarlo Stanton clubbed a three-run homer off Jose Leclerc. It's the second time in Heaney's past three starts that he's failed to complete five innings, and he's surrendered 10 runs (nine earned) between those two short outings. He has a 4.05 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 115:34 K:BB across 120 innings this season and tentatively lines up for a matchup with Minnesota this weekend.
