TEXAS RANGERS ANNOUNCE MINOR LEAGUE AWARD WINNERS FOR JULY

The Texas Rangers announced Wednesday that Mavericks outfielder Scott Heineman has been named the Rangers Minor League Player of the Month of July and catcher Jose Trevino as the Rangers Minor League Defender of the Month.

Heineman, 23, hit .318 with 10 doubles, one triple, nine home runs, and 20 RBI in 28 games in July. The impressive month also landed Heineman with California League Player of the Month honors for the Week of July 25-31 after posting .500/.588/1.179 slash line in 7 G, going 14-for-28 with four doubles, five home runs, seven RBI, 15 runs, five walks, five strikeouts, and two stolen bases. The 2016 season is Heineman's first full season in professional baseball. The Rangers acquired the SoCal-native in the 11th round of the 2015 draft.

Trevino, 23, has started as catcher in 21 of 23 games in July. In July, he hit .333 with seven doubles and two home runs. Trevino, in 84 games, has recorded two errors with a .998 fielding percentage. The Texas-native was a 2016 California League All-Star and named the starting catcher. In 2015, he was named as a MiLB.com Organization All-Star (Texas). The Rangers drafted the Oral Roberts Alum in the 6th round of the 2014 draft.

John Fasola, 24, who started the 2016 with the Mavericks, was also recognized as the Rangers' Reliever of the Month for July. Fasola made 10 relief appearances in July for Frisco and was 5-for-5 in save opportunities. He went 1-0 with a 1.20 ERA (2 ER in 15.0 IP), allowing just five hits, three walks and striking out 16 in that span. Fasola closed out the month with 12 consecutive scoreless innings, one of the longest scoreless streaks for Riders pitchers this season. The Ohio native went 1-0 with a 2.53 ERA in 10.2 IP with 12 strikeouts and a .250 opposing batting average for the Mavericks before getting promoted in May. Nick Martinez completes the list honors list, who was named Rangers Minor League Pitcher of the Month for July.

These players add to the list, which also include Mavericks' Juremi Profar and Cody Palmquist who received June Minor League Player honors by the Texas Rangers. Former Mavericks Ryan Cordell, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Ryne Slack have also received Rangers monthly honors in 2016.
