NBC SportsJonah Heim went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs on Friday against the Red Sox.

Heim made the most of his season debut with two long balls. His second one was especially impressive: a no-doubter clubbed an estimated 417 ft deep into the right field stands. He is expected to be in a fairly even timeshare with the newly acquired Kyle Higashioka this season, but can definitely make an impact with the bat when he's in the lineup.

NBC SportsGarrett Crochet struck out four and allowed two runs over five innings on Thursday in a no-decision against the Rangers.

Crochet got squeezed on a handful of borderline pitches in the early stages of the contest, which led to a pair of walks, but he managed to prevent things from spiraling out of control in his Red Sox debut. An early run-scoring single from Kevin Pillar and a fourth-inning RBI double from Kyle Higashioka accounted for all the damage against him. It wasn't the dominant performance fantasy managers have grown accustomed to from Crochet, but he fared well considering he was on the road against one of the better lineups in baseball. He'll get his first taste of the AL East on Wednesday when he faces off against the division-rival Orioles at Camden Yards.

NBC SportsKyle Higashioka is starting at catcher and batting eighth for the Rangers on Opening Day.

It will be Higashioka and not Jonah Heim who gets the first start of the season behind the plate. This will likely be a close timehsare but given how good this Rangers lineup could be, it's worth monitoring how the team splits up this workload. The full Rangers lineup is: Marcus Semien 2B, Corey Seager DH, Wyatt Langford LF, Adolis Garcia RF, Jake Burger 1B, Josh Jung 3B, Kevin Pillar CF, Kyle Higashioka C, Josh Smith SS.
