Blue Jays' Tyler Heineman: Lands with Toronto
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.

Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Pushed off 40-man
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.

Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Heads back to Triple-A
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.

Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Elevated from Triple-A
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.

Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Sent back to minors
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.

Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Recalled from Triple-A
The Red Sox recalled Heineman from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
It's not yet clear what the corresponding transaction will be. Heineman, 32, had one brief stint with the Red Sox earlier this season, receiving one plate appearance. The catcher has a career .580 OPS over parts of five seasons at the major-league level.

Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Activated, optioned to Triple-A
Heineman (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Heineman has been out since April 23 with a right hamstring strain, but he'll now return to regular action at Triple-A. The catcher has produced a .235 average with a double, three RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases over 34 at-bats in 12 games with Worcester this season. Both Connor Wong and Reese McGuire are healthy at the major-league level, but Heineman is likely the next man up if Boston needs another backstop down the road.

Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Initiates rehab assignment
Heineman (hamstring) began a rehab assignment Saturday with Double-A Portland and went 1-for-3 with a run and an RBI while serving as a designated hitter.
On the 10-day injured list since April 23 with a right hamstring strain, Heineman will likely need to make multiple starts at catcher during his rehab assignment before he's activated. Heineman still has one minor-league option remaining, so he could eventually settle at Triple-A Worcester once activated if both of the Red Sox's top two backstops (Connor Wong and Reese McGuire) are both healthy.

Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Out with strained hamstring
The Red Sox placed Heineman on the 10-day injured list Monday, retroactive to April 22, with a right hamstring strain.
Heineman evidently must have suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Pirates. He'll be eligible to return in early May but isn't a given to be back on the big-league roster once he's healthy, as the Red Sox might send him to Triple-A Worcester instead.

Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Officially joins big club
The Red Sox recalled Heineman from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
The 32-year-old will join the active roster as Tristan Casas (ribs) makes his way to the 10-day injured list. Heineman will provide depth behind the plate as Boston's No. 3 catcher and is unlikely to see significant playing time.

Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: On way to majors
Heineman will be recalled from Triple-A Worcester prior to Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
There's no word yet on who he will be replacing on the roster, but Triston Casas (ribs) is the likely candidate. Heineman would be the third catcher on the Red Sox' roster, but the club is running out of options on its 40-man roster.

Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Cut from big-league camp
Boston optioned Heineman to minor-league camp Monday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Red Sox's Tyler Heineman: Dealt to Boston
The Red Sox acquired Heineman from the Mets on Friday in exchange for cash considerations, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
Heineman had been claimed off waivers by the Mets earlier this offseason but was designated for assignment earlier this week. The 32-year-old catcher has an option year remaining and seems likely to begin 2024 at Triple-A Worcester.

Mets' Tyler Heineman: Designated for assignment
The Mets designated Heineman for assignment Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Heineman will lose his spot on the 40-man roster to Adam Ottavino, whose signing was made official Tuesday. Heineman slashed .237/.383/.316 in 47 plate appearances between the Pirates and Blue Jays last season, and he logged similar numbers with the teams' Triple-A affiliates.

Mets' Tyler Heineman: Nabbed off waivers by Mets
The Mets claimed Heineman off waivers from the Blue Jays on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Heineman is a career .218/.297/.282 hitter over parts of four big-league seasons. With Francisco Alvarez and Omar Narvaez back in 2024, the 32-year-old Heineman would appear pegged for Triple-A Syracuse to begin next season.

Blue Jays' Tyler Heineman: Plates three RBI
Heineman went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 12-8 loss to the Rays.
Heineman opened up the scoring for the Blue Jays with a two-run triple in the second and then added on with an RBI single in the sixth. Sunday was Heineman's second multi-hit game of the year and his first RBI of the season. For now, he's the team's backup catcher with Danny Jansen (finger) working his way back from a fractured right middle finger, but Heineman may lose his roster spot, with Jansen expressing optimism he could return for a potential postseason run.

Blue Jays' Tyler Heineman: Recalled to Toronto
The Blue Jays recalled Heineman from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.
With Danny Jansen (finger) on the 10-day IL, Heineman will come up from the farm to serve as the backup to Alejandro Kirk. Heineman has gone 5-for-16 in the majors since being traded from Pittsburgh in late April.

Blue Jays' Tyler Heineman: Optioned back to Triple-A
Toronto optioned Heineman to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.
Alejandro Kirk (hand) is back from the 10-day injured list, so Heineman was no longer needed as depth at the catcher position. The 32-year-old holds a weak .217/.290/.277 career batting line in 266 major-league plate appearances.

Blue Jays' Tyler Heineman: Available off bench Tuesday
Heineman (side) is expected to be available off the bench Tuesday versus the Giants, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
Heineman was removed from Sunday's series finale against the Athletics because of left side discomfort, but an MRI taken Monday turned up clean for any structural damage. He's healthy but probably at risk of losing his spot on the Blue Jays' major-league roster when Alejandro Kirk (hand) returns from the injured list later this week.

Blue Jays' Tyler Heineman: Leaves with injury
Heineman was removed from Sunday's win over the Athletics with left side discomfort, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Heineman appeared to tweak something on a swing during the eighth inning and was unable to finish the plate appearance. The 32-year-old is serving as Toronto's backup catcher with Alejandro Kirk (hand) on the injured list, so the club may need additional catching depth if Heineman will be unavailable for more than a day or two.
