Heim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Though he started in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader before bowing out of the lineup for the nightcap, Heim will get another breather Sunday as the Rangers wrap up their series in New York. Carson Kelly will handle the catching duties, forming a battery with starting pitcher Andrew Heaney.

Langeliers went 4-for-4 in a win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Langeliers accomplished the rare feat of an all-singles, four-hit performance in a game where his team still managed to score only one run. It was the 15th multi-hit effort of the season for Langeliers, who had been mired in a 2-for-24 skid across the previous seven games. The backstop's .217 average and .278 on-base percentage this season both have plenty of room for improvement, but Langeliers' .445 slugging percentage and .723 OPS are both career highs.
