NEWS: The Rangers activated C Jonah Heim from the IL and optioned C Sam Huff to Triple-A.
IMPACT: High
BHQ SPIN: The best possible outcome for Heim, who missed on the low side of his initial prognosis following a wrist tendon sheath sprain. Reports suggest that Heim will only bat left-handed for now, which puts less strain on the still-mending wrist.

Heim will take AB from the likes of Huff and Robbie Grossman.
