The Blue Jays claimed Heineman off waivers from the Red Sox on Monday. Heineman has a minor-league option remaining, but he appears set to join the Blue Jays' 28-man active roster after Toronto designated its backup catcher (Brian Serven) for assignment in a corresponding move. The 33-year-old Heineman will be beginning his third stint with Toronto after spending time in the organization during the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

The Red Sox designated Heineman for assignment Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Heineman has been in the minors since June 24, where he has since slashed .262/.375/.492 with four homers and 11 RBI across 73 plate appearances. Despite his solid performance, he'll be stripped of his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Zach Penrod, who was selected from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move.

The Red Sox optioned Heineman to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. As expected, Heineman's stay with the Red Sox was a brief one. Boston called him up from Worcester on Monday to provide another option at catcher while Connor Wong (personal) was away from the team on paternity leave, but Heineman will head back to the minors after Wong was activated Thursday. Heineman picked up one at-bat during his latest stint in the majors.

The Red Sox recalled Heineman from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports. Heineman will join the big club in advance of its three-game series with the Blue Jays while top backstop Connor Wong (personal) goes on the paternity list in a corresponding move. Reese McGuire will start at catcher Monday and should serve as the Red Sox's primary option behind the plate over Heineman until Wong likely rejoins the team Thursday.

The Red Sox optioned Heineman to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday. Heineman's latest stint in the majors lasted just one day, and he didn't make an appearance. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for the return of Tyler O'Neill (knee) from the 10-day injured list.
