Jonah Heim - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Goes deep in loss Heim went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.

Impact This was Heim's second homer in the last three games. The catcher will get a chance at steady playing time since Shea Langeliers (knee) is projected to miss most or all of the rest of the season. Heim is hitting .216 (16-for-74) with four homers and 13 RBI over 19 contests in July. For the year, he's batting .229 with a .720 OPS, 11 homers, 34 RBI, 23 runs scored and 10 doubles over 61 games.

Belts 10th homer Heim went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Heim crushed a solo shot to center field in the sixth inning, his 10th homer of the season. It's been a fairly lackluster July for the switch hitter, as he's slashing .197/.229/.348 with three homers, 12 RBI and five runs scored across 17 contests this month. With Shea Langeliers (knee) likely out for the remainder of the season, Heim is in line to serve as the Athletics' primary catcher moving forward.

Sitting Friday Heim is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Nationals on Friday.

Impact The Athletics will role with Shea Langeliers at catcher, Carlos Cortes as the designated hitter and Tommy White at first base while Heim opens Friday's game on the bench. Heim went 8-for-37 (.216) with two home runs and nine RBI in his 10 games prior to the All-Star break.

Held out of starting nine Wednesday Heim is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Shea Langeliers is making a second straight start behind the dish after a two-game absence due to a thumb injury, and Tyler Soderstrom (hip) is serving as the Athletics' designated hitter in his return from the injured list, so Heim will be an odd man out of the lineup Wednesday. The 31-year-old is on the bench for just the second time in 12 games, as he's played his way into a near-everyday role while producing an .816 OPS since the Athletics acquired him in early May. Soderstrom should eventually shift back into a regular role in left field, so Heim still looks to have a fairly clear path to steady playing time at DH.

Homer, six RBI in loss Heim went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and two additional RBI in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Considering the Athletics didn't have a baserunner until the eighth inning, Heim did pretty well for himself in the late innings. The 31-year-old has gone 9-for-38 (.237) with three homers and 12 RBI over his last 10 games. He's now batting .241 with a .790 OPS, nine homers, 29 RBI, 20 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 46 contests between the Athletics and Atlanta this season. While he was the designated hitter Sunday, Heim would likely get the starting job behind the dish if Shea Langeliers (thumb) requires a stint on the injured list.

Absent from Friday's lineup Heim is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Marlins on Friday.

Impact With right-hander Tyler Phillips on the mound for the Marlins on Friday, the Athletics will respond by deploying the lefty-hitting Carlos Cortes as the designated hitter. Heim has gone 7-for-27 (.259) with two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored over his last seven games, reaching base safely in six of those contests.

Homers in Wednesday's win Heim went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Heim opened the scoring when he took Charlie Barnes deep in the second inning. Heim has hit safely in six of his last seven games, going 7-for-27 with two homers, six RBI and a 3:6 BB:K in that span. The catcher has found both power and consistency at the plate lately and is now hitting .246 with an .802 OPS on the year. He's up to eight homers, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and nine doubles through 43 contests between the Athletics and Atlanta.

Goes deep in loss Heim went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.

Impact Six of Heim's seven homers this year have come over his last 18 games. He's batting .308 (16-for-52) with 12 RBI in that span. For the season, the catcher is hitting .246 with an .811 OPS, 20 RBI, 17 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 39 contests between the Athletics and Atlanta. Heim continues to fill the backup role behind Shea Langeliers, though his steady hitting of late has helped Heim get more looks as the designated hitter.

Launches clutch homer off bench Heim went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Friday's extra-inning win over the Angels.

Impact Pinch hitting for Colby Thomas at designated hitter with the Athletics down to their final out in the ninth inning, Heim delivered a towering, two-run homer to tie the game and force an extra inning. It marked his sixth long ball of the season. The veteran backstop faces an uphill battle for regular playing time behind Shea Langeliers, but Heim has been productive enough at the plate to earn starts in four of the past seven games between catcher and designated hitter. In June, the switch hitter has gone 12-for-29 (.414) with four homers, two doubles, five RBI and five runs scored across 11 appearances.
