Blue Jays Catcher Heineman Benched After Self-Admitted ‘Trash’ Performance
Blue Jays manager John Schneider benched catcher Tyler Heineman during Sunday’s game against the Twins, citing a “manager’s decision.” Heineman openly admitted to struggling at the plate recently, calling his last at-bat “trash” and accepting responsibility for the move. The benching comes as the Blue Jays look to reverse their disappointing start to the season.
