Sent to Toronto Heineman was traded from the Pirates to the Blue Jays on Sunday in exchange for Vinny Capra.
Impact Heineman was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh on Wednesday, and Toronto opted to trade for him rather than risk a waiver claim. He should head to Triple-A Buffalo to serve as organizational catching depth.
APRIL 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Designated for assignment Heineman was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Wednesday.
Impact This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Cody Bolton, who is joining the Pirates' bullpen ahead of Wednesday night's game against the Dodgers. A journeyman catcher, Heineman heads into DFA limbo with a career .210/.276/.269 major-league batting line.
APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Optioned to Triple-A level Heineman was optioned Friday to Triple-A Indianapolis.
Impact Heineman gets the boot with fellow catcher Austin Hedges returning from the 7-day concussion injured list. Jason Delay remains up as the Pirates' other option at catcher.
APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Makes first start Heineman went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored Tuesday against the Red Sox.
Impact Heineman was called up Tuesday after Austin Hedges (concussion) was played on the injured list, and he immediately drew a start behind the plate while hitting ninth. He had a key sequence to provide Pittsburgh with an insurance run during the seventh inning, as he reached base on a single, stole second base and then came around to score. Heineman managed just a .544 OPS across 174 plate appearances in the majors in 2022, so his ability to provide ongoing production is questionable at best.
APRIL 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pirates place Austin Hedges on concussion injured list, select Tyler Heineman The Pirates on Tuesday put Austin Hedges on the seven-day concussion injured list and selected the contract of Tyler Heineman.
APRIL 4, 2023 • POST-GAZETTE.COM
Contract selected by PIT Heineman had his contract selected by the Pirates on Tuesday.
Impact Austin Hedges has landed on the 7-day concussion injured list, so Heineman gets the call to share time behind the plate with Jason Delay. It's doubtful to a fruitful fantasy situation.
APRIL 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Reassigned to minors camp Heineman was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Pirates camp.
Impact Austin Hedges will open the 2023 season as the primary catcher in Pittsburgh, with Jason Delay backing him up. Heineman, 31, is a career .214/.279/.276 hitter in 236 plate appearances at the MLB level.

Inks deal with Pittsburgh Heineman signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Monday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Heineman will be brought in to compete for the big-league catching job, a position that has become increasingly thin for Pittsburgh since the end of the 2022 campaign. Endy Rodriguez will also get a shot to win the job as one of the top catching prospects in all of baseball. Heineman spent 62 games in the major leagues a season ago, slashing .217/.276/.268 with nine RBI, one stolen base and 16 runs scored during stops in Pittsburgh and Toronto.

Source: Pirates to bring back Tyler Heineman on minor league deal A source told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Monday that Tyler Heineman will return to the Pirates in 2023.
DECEMBER 12, 2022 • POST-GAZETTE.COM
Enters free agency The Pirates declined to tender Heineman a contract for 2023, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Thrust into a regular role with Pittsburgh after joining the team on a waiver claim, Heineman slumped to a .211/.277/.254 line in 52 games with the Pirates. He missed time due to a groin injury and a concussion. His experience could keep him around the game for a while yet as catching depth is always in demand.

Impact The switch-hitting Heineman will give way to the righty-hitting Jason Delay at catcher while southpaw Mike Minor takes the hill for Cincinnati. Heineman appears set to occupy the large side of a platoon at catcher following his return from the injured list Wednesday.
AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting Friday Heineman is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Reds.
