Fantasy Impact:

Heineman’s edge as the only 40-man catcher behind Alejandro Kirk, outpacing Christian Bethancourt, locks him into Toronto’s roster Saturday despite a career .212/.298/.273 line. The 31-year-old switch-hitter prevails. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on spot starts behind Kirk for minimal offensive value in the Blue Jays’ 2025 lineup if injuries hit.
