Heim is expected to get most of the starts behind the plate with Mitch Garver expected to serve only as a designated hitter for the foreseeable future, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com.
Garver was activated off the injured list this week after recovering from a right forearm strain. He was the DH on Thursday while Heim went 1-for-4 as the starting catcher. It's uncertain when Garver will be cleared to begin a throwing program, which means Heim should get most of the opportunities behind the plate over the next few games, although Sam Huff also remains on the big-league roster as another catching option.
