From Evan Grant:

All-Star catcher Jonah Heim said he got an optimistic second opinion about the torn tendon sheath in his left wrist. Heim saw Arizona-based hand specialist Dr. Don Sheridan on Tuesday to consult on the injury the Rangers have announced as a sprained tendon. Heim also received a cortisone injection to help with inflammation and the wrap on his wrist was much less bulky on Wednesday.

Heim said the surgeon told him he’d seen “much worse,” cases and suggested it was possible for him to play through the injury and either postpone repair surgery until the offseason or perhaps avoid it entirely. One thing that may help Heim: As a switch hitter, he could potentially swing only from the left side, which would not irritate the wrist as much. It is his dominant wrist in a right-handed swing.

“All I’m asking for is a chance,” Heim said. “It’s not a complete tear, so that was good.”

Manager Bruce Bochy said Heim could begin taking some dry swings - those that don’t involve a ball - next week. The Rangers did, however, acquire Austin Hedges from Pittsburgh just ahead of the trade deadline Tuesday to help stabilize the catching situation. Hedges is expected to make his Rangers debut on Friday.

Rangers site has him on IL 10 days. Left hamstring strain

Stroman to IL kind of glad we dodged that

Hope Dunning makes a good statement tonight

Lol. That is convenient.

He had 8 AB since his last DL stint.

Just have rather DFA’ed him and added Martinez or Foscue to the 40 and brought them up

Dodged a bullet in the 1st.
