Jonah Heim was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Yankees with a compressed nerve in his right hand.
It’s a bit unclear whether the issue is serious enough to warrant a trip to the injured list, but the Rangers can probably afford to give him a few days to rest and recover since they’re presently carrying three catchers on their active roster. The 29-year-old backstop appeared to injure his hand on a swing early in Wednesday’s game at Yankee Stadium and was forced to leave the contest. There should be an update on his status ahead of Thursday’s series finale, weather permitting.
