Heim is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
The 31-year-old will yield to Brian Serven behind the plate after catching three of the Athletics' last four games. Heim has hit 12 homers in 85 games with the A's this season, but he has been in a funk of late, slashing .175/.195/.275 with just one long ball so far in September.

Athletics' Jonah Heim: Smacks homer in loss
Rotowire
Heim went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Orioles.
Heim had gone nearly a month without a homer, batting just .156 (12-for-77) during his 22-game power drought. His solo shot Friday got the Athletics on the board in the seventh inning. Heim is batting .210 with a .659 OPS, 12 homers, 41 RBI, 29 runs scored and 15 doubles over 84 contests this season and continues to see a starting role behind the plate since Shea Langeliers (knee) went out of the lineup in late July.

Athletics' Jonah Heim: Out of Wednesday's lineup
Rotowire
Heim is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rays.
Heim started at catcher in each of the Athletics' last three games, so he will get some rest during Wednesday's matinee. Brian Serven will be behind the dish.
Heim went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.
This was Heim's second homer in the last three games. The catcher will get a chance at steady playing time since Shea Langeliers (knee) is projected to miss most or all of the rest of the season. Heim is hitting .216 (16-for-74) with four homers and 13 RBI over 19 contests in July. For the year, he's batting .229 with a .720 OPS, 11 homers, 34 RBI, 23 runs scored and 10 doubles over 61 games.

Athletics' Jonah Heim: Belts 10th homer
Rotowire
Heim went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Red Sox.
Heim crushed a solo shot to center field in the sixth inning, his 10th homer of the season. It's been a fairly lackluster July for the switch hitter, as he's slashing .197/.229/.348 with three homers, 12 RBI and five runs scored across 17 contests this month. With Shea Langeliers (knee) likely out for the remainder of the season, Heim is in line to serve as the Athletics' primary catcher moving forward.

Athletics' Jonah Heim: Sitting Friday

Athletics' Jonah Heim: Held out of starting nine Wednesday
Rotowire
Heim is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Shea Langeliers is making a second straight start behind the dish after a two-game absence due to a thumb injury, and Tyler Soderstrom (hip) is serving as the Athletics' designated hitter in his return from the injured list. The 31-year-old Heim is on the bench for just the second time in 12 games, as he's played his way into a near-everyday role while producing an .816 OPS since the Athletics acquired him in early May. Soderstrom should eventually shift back into a regular role in left field, so Heim still looks to have a fairly clear path to steady playing time at DH.

Athletics' Jonah Heim: Homer, six RBI in loss
Rotowire
Heim went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and two additional RBI in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins.
Considering the Athletics didn't have a baserunner until the eighth inning, Heim did pretty well for himself in the late innings. The 31-year-old has gone 9-for-38 (.237) with three homers and 12 RBI over his last 10 games. He's now batting .241 with a .790 OPS, nine homers, 29 RBI, 20 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 46 contests between the Athletics and Atlanta this season. While he was the designated hitter Sunday, Heim would likely get the starting job behind the dish if Shea Langeliers (thumb) requires a stint on the injured list.

Rotowire
Heim is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Marlins on Friday.

Athletics' Jonah Heim: Homers in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Heim went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Dodgers.
Heim opened the scoring when he took Charlie Barnes deep in the second inning. Heim has hit safely in six of his last seven games, going 7-for-27 with two homers, six RBI and a 3:6 BB:K in that span. The catcher has found both power and consistency at the plate lately and is now hitting .246 with an .802 OPS on the year. He's up to eight homers, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and nine doubles through 43 contests between the Athletics and Atlanta.

Athletics' Jonah Heim: Goes deep in loss
Rotowire
Heim went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.
Six of Heim's seven home runs this season have come over his last 18 games. He's batting .308 (16-for-52) with 12 RBI in that span. Heim continues to fill the backup catching job behind Shea Langeliers, though his steady hitting of late has helped Heim get more looks at designated hitter.

Athletics' Jonah Heim: Launches clutch homer off bench
Rotowire
Heim went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Friday's extra-inning win over the Angels.
Pinch hitting for Colby Thomas at designated hitter with the Athletics down to their final out in the ninth inning, Heim delivered a towering, two-run homer to tie the game and force an extra inning. It marked his sixth long ball of the season. The veteran backstop faces an uphill battle for regular playing time behind Shea Langeliers, but Heim has been productive enough at the plate to earn starts in four of the past seven games between catcher and designated hitter. In June, the switch hitter has gone 12-for-29 (.414) with four homers, two doubles, five RBI and five runs scored across 11 games.
