Jonah Heim Stats

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim is getting the day off on Sunday as the team closes out the first half of its season against the Seattle Mariners. Meibrys Viloria will be behind the plate for the game. Heim had a solid first half of the 2022 season. Across 69 games, he slashed .262/.313/.467 with 12 home runs, 33 RBI and 34 runs. The 27-year-old has proven to be a worthy starting fantasy catcher this year. However, his underlying stats suggest he's been over-performing a bit as he has a .242 xBA (26th percentile) and a .420 xSLG (34th percentile). Fantasy managers can continue to start him after the All-Star break, but if he slows down and someone intriguing pops up on the waiver wire, don't hesitate too much to make a swap.

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Washington Nationals. It's just a normal day of rest for Heim, but make sure to remove him from all fantasy lineups. The 26-year-old switch-hitting backstop is hitting just .184 (7-for-38) with two home runs, seven RBI and nine strikeouts in 10 games over the last two weeks. Overall, though, he's been a solid fantasy catcher because of his power (nine home runs), and he's hitting a respectable .244/.308/.458 with 26 RBI, 23 runs scored and even two stolen bases in 50 games played. Meibrys Viloria is doing the catching and hitting ninth on Saturday against Nationals right-hander Josiah Gray. Viloria is a low-upside DFS catching option who is hitting .215 on the year with only one home run in 181 at-bats.
