Resting Wednesday Heineman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Heineman has seemingly usurped Michael Perez as Pittsburgh's No. 1 catcher, but Perez will get the nod in the series finale as the Pirates and Tigers get together for a day game after a night game. In Tuesday's 5-3 loss, Heineman was behind the plate for all nine innings and was hitless over his three plate appearances.

Three hits, two runs in win Heineman went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Heineman rattled off three singles in the contest, and he came around to score on a Tucupita Marcano homer in the second inning and a Bryan Reynolds double in the ninth. This was Heineman's second multi-hit effort in 18 games this season. The catcher has a .222/.263/.278 slash line with no home runs, one RBI, five runs scored and two doubles through 40 plate appearances between the Pirates and the Blue Jays this year.

Claimed by Pirates Heineman was claimed off outright waivers by the Pirates on Monday.

Impact Heineman was sent down by the Blue Jays on Saturday, and he'll be claimed by the Pirates several days later. The 30-year-old appeared in 10 major-league games early in the year and went 4-for-15 with two doubles, two runs and an RBI. Since Andrew Knapp was designated for assignment Monday, Heineman will likely join the big-league club as catching depth.

Heading to minors Heineman was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Impact The 30-year-old served as catching depth for the Blue Jays over the last month, but he'll head back to the minors after Danny Jansen (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Heineman went 4-for-15 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI and four strikeouts over 10 major-league games and should see more consistent playing time in Buffalo.

Contract selected by Toronto Heineman had his contract selected by the Blue Jays and will be active for Monday's game against the Yankees, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The 30-year-old was unable to grab a spot on Toronto's Opening Day roster but will join the big-league club with Danny Jansen (oblique) landing on the injured list. Heineman is unlikely to see much action since the Blue Jays still have Alejandro Kirk and Zack Collins as options behind the plate.

Moves on from Giants The Giants declared Heineman a free agent Sunday, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.

Impact Heineman served as the Giants' Opening Day catcher, but he was unseated by Chadwick Tromp for the top job by midseason before both backstops fell behind top prospect Joey Bart in the pecking order. With Buster Posey (personal) poised to return from the restricted list to join Bart as the Giants' catching options in 2021, San Francisco outrighted Heineman off the 40-man roster over the weekend. He'll now be free to join another organization that's looking to shore up its depth behind the dish.

Outrighted to Triple-A Heineman was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Giants will bump Heineman off the 40-man roster as free agency officially opens. The 29-year-old backstop has a .208 average and one home run in 62 MLB plate appearances over the past two seasons.
