Heim went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 13-8 win over Toronto. Heim's two-run single in the sixth inning was the go-ahead hit in a wild back-and-forth game. Similar to years past, the second half of the season hasn't been kind to Heim (career .570 OPS post All-Star break). He entered the game 1-for-32 during September, and the lack of second-half production has cost him at-bats, as Carson Kelly has cut into Heim's playing time since being acquired at the trade deadline. Heim has 101 plate appearances since the beginning of August compared to Kelly's 88.

Heim is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees. Heim and Carson Kelly have alternated starts behind the plate over the past seven games, and that trend will continue Tuesday after Heim went 0-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts in Monday's contest.
