Latest Fantasy Rumors
Promotion could come Thursday
CToronto Blue Jays  AAA
May 25, 2023
Heineman could be called up by the Blue Jays ahead of Thursday's game against the Rays with Danny Jansen managing a groin issue, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
Jansen is undergoing an MRI, the results of which should indicate whether or not a trip to the injured list is necessary. Heineman was acquired by the Blue Jays from the Pirates in late April and has a .592 OPS in 10 contests with Triple-A Buffalo. The 31-year-old shouldn't see consistent starts if promoted, as Alejandro Kirk is the likely bet to work as Toronto's primary catcher if Jansen is sidelined.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Heineman played in 52 games for the Pirates last season after he began the year with the Blue Jays, and he had a .544 OPS in 174 plate appearance between the two teams. He re-signed with Pittsburgh on a minor-league deal and will compete with fellow non-roster invitees Kevin Plawecki and Jason Delay for a spot on the Opening Day roster. Austin Hedges signed as a free agent should begin the campaign as the No. 1 option behind the plate given his elite defensive skills. Prospect Endy Rodriguez is likely to make his debut at some point during the first half, at which point Heineman's roster spot, if he has one, will likely be in jeopardy.
Heineman has spent nearly the entirety of his career as organizational depth, reaching Triple-A for the first time in 2015, yet failing to make his major-league debut until 2019. He took another step forward in 2020, serving as the Opening Day backstop for the Giants and earning a career-best 50 plate appearances. In 62 career plate appearances, he's managed just a .208/.288/.302 line. While a small sample to judge a player's potential in most scenarios, Heineman has topped a .130 ISO in just one season in the minor leagues. After being unseated as the starting catcher for the Giants by a combination of Joey Bart and Chadwick Tromp, Heineman was released and has since signed a minor-league deal with the Cardinals. Pending the free agency of long-time starter Yadier Molina. Heineman could compete for backup duties with his above-average defensive ability being his most compelling contribution.
