The Texas Rangers have placed catcher Jonah Heim on the paternity list, the team announced today. To take his place on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled catcher Sam Huff from AAA Round Rock.
Per the beats, Heim’s wife’s due date wasn’t for two more weeks, but it appears his latest child is arriving early. With Heim out, those of you who have wanted Sam Huff up are getting your wish, though we shall see whether he gets any action.
Huff was up briefly earlier this year when Heim was on the bereavement list, and appeared in the late innings of one game, without making a plate appearance.
