Texas Rangers All-Star Jonah Heim Leaves Game During At-Bat

Texas Rangers All-Star catcher Jonah Heim was forced to leave during his at-bat in the fourth inning Wednesday with left wrist soreness.

HOUSTON – Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim was forced to leave Wednesday's game in the middle of his fourth-inning at-bat against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.

Heim swung and missed and immediately stepped out of the box in pain. After he was checked by trainers and manager Bruce Bochy, he was taken out of the game.

Sam Huff replaced Heim with a 2-2 count and struck out swinging on the first pitch he saw. Heim is tagged with the strikeout, for you statistic nerds. Huff homered in the fifth inning to give the Rangers a 7-3 lead.

Heim left the game with left wrist soreness.
