Jonah Heim Lands On Injured List
1 year agoThe Texas Rangers placed catcher Jonah Heim (wrist) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to July 27) on Friday with a left wrist tendon strain. In corresponding moves, the team activated right-hander Josh Sborz (biceps) from the 15-day injured list, recalled outfielder Bubba Thompson from Triple-A Round Rock and optioned right-hander Owen White to Round Rock. Heim will attempt to rest for two to three weeks, but there's a chance he'll need season-ending surgery eventually. It's a major blow to the Rangers and fantasy managers, as the 28-year-old All-Star backstop is having a breakout year with a .280/.337/.479 slash line, 14 home runs and 70 RBI in 90 games. Mitch Garver and Sam Huff figure to split the catching duties while Heim heals up.
