Heim went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.
This was Heim's second homer in the last three games. The catcher will get a chance at steady playing time since Shea Langeliers (knee) is projected to miss most or all of the rest of the season. Heim is hitting .216 (16-for-74) with four homers and 13 RBI over 19 contests in July. For the year, he's batting .229 with a .720 OPS, 11 homers, 34 RBI, 23 runs scored and 10 doubles over 61 games.
