DFA'd by Texas Heineman was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Friday.
Impact The 28-year-old was non-tendered by the Rangers last week but re-signed with the club the following day, and he's now been removed from the 40-man roster. Heineman figures to be outrighted to Triple-A if he clears waivers in the coming days.

Injured Santana allowed to become free agent by Rangers

Hits open market Heineman was non-tendered by the Rangers on Wednesday.
Impact He logged a .213 average in 2019 and a .154 average in 2020, so while he never saw much playing time, he also didn't show enough to hang around on the 40-man roster entering his age-28 season. Heineman may have to settle for a minor-league deal on the open market.

Optioned to alternate camp Heineman was optioned to the Rangers' alternate training site Monday.
Impact Heineman was recalled by the Rangers on Sunday, but he'll return to alternate camp just one day later. The 27-year-old has been shuffled between the active roster and secondary club this year. Over 24 major-league games this season, Heineman has slashed .154/.185/.269 with one home run, seven RBI and three stolen bases.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2020 • LONESTARBALL.COM
Sent down Thursday Heineman was optioned to the Rangers' alternate training site Thursday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.
Impact He is hitting .148 over his last 10 games and his playing time was starting to dry up. Sam Huff was promoted as a corresponding move.

Chapman's 1st save seals Yankees' 5-3 win over Tampa Bay
SEPTEMBER 2, 2020 • Associated Press
Getting look in center Heineman started in center field and went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Mariners.
Impact This was Heineman's second consecutive start in center field, as Texas manager Chris Woodward navigates a pair of injuries. With Shin-Soo Choo (calf) and Willie Calhoun (hamstring, IL) on the mend, Woodward wants to give Heineman a look in center, per T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com. Nick Solak, who had been playing center field, moved to left field for the second straight game. Heineman is considered the better defensive outfielder, so it makes sense that he patrol center field. He's batting .219 (7-for-32) with one homer, six RBI and three steals in 2020.

Starts in center Heineman started in center field and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 8-7 loss to San Diego.
Impact The Rangers placed Willie Calhoun (hamstring) on the injured list Thursday, a move that creates an opportunity for Heineman. With Danny Santana not yet ready to play the outfield, Heineman could play center field while Nick Solak covers for Calhoun in left. Texas manager Chris Woodward has other lineup options, so the light-hitting Heineman (.571 OPS) is not guaranteed steady at-bats.

Impact Heineman took over for Willie Calhoun after the latter's eighth-inning single. Heineman stole second and advanced to third on an error, but Robinson Chirinos committed the third out before Heineman could get home. The 27-year-old Heineman stayed in the contest in center field. He's hitting .158 with one homer, one steal, three RBI and two runs scored in 19 plate appearances.
