Jonah Heim's 2026 Season Review: A Brief Stint and Struggles

Veteran catcher Jonah Heim experienced a tumultuous 2026 season that began with the Atlanta Braves bridging a gap during Sean Murphy's injury. After starting 12 games for Atlanta with a .231/.311/.410 slash line and his lone home run as a Brave, Heim was designated for assignment and traded to the Athletics. He logged 93 games with West Sacramento, finishing with a career-low -0.6 fWAR as offensive struggles and defensive difficulties mounted down the stretch.
