NEW YORK -- Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim left Wednesday night's game against the Yankees in the second inning due to a right hand injury after making two errant warmup throws.
The Rangers said Heim had a compressed nerve in his throwing hand.
Heim singled in the top of the second, the Rangers' first hit on a chilly night at Yankee Stadium. He was forced out at second base for the final out on a grounder by Jake Burger.
Designated hitter Kyle Higashioka warmed up Rangers starter Jacob deGrom while Heim seemed to take an unusually long time to emerge from the dugout in his gear.
