Texas placed Heim on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 27, with a left wrist tendon strain.
Heim suffered the injury while taking an awkward-looking swing in Wednesday's series finale against the Astros. Season-ending surgery is on the table, per Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News, but the backstop will attempt to avoid it with 2-3 weeks of rest and rehab. The 28-year-old has a .280/.337/.479 slash line with 14 home runs and 70 RBI through 90 games. Mitch Garver could handle most of the catching duties for the Rangers in Heim's absence, with Sam Huff also factoring into the mix.
