Impact Sheets matched a season high with four RBI, and it was his third multi-hit game already this month. While he went just 1-for-23 to close out April, the 29-year-old slugger is batting .389 with one home run and six RBI over 18 at-bats in May. The lefty-hitting Sheets routinely starts on the bench against left-handed pitchers, which restricts his overall fantasy upside, but he's hitting .299 with four long balls, five doubles, 17 RBI and eight walks over 87 at-bats versus right-handed pitching.

Hits homer after moving up in order Sheets went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Detroit on Monday.

Impact For the first time this season, Sheets began the game in the top-third of San Diego's order -- he batted in the No. 2 slot behind Fernando Tatis. The veteran first baseman proved to be a good fit there, as he reached base twice, including with a solo shot to left-center in the fifth inning. Sheets' move up the order was largely due to the absence of Luis Arraez, who was placed on the 7-day concussion IL on Monday. Sheets has done plenty with the bat to deserve being pushed up higher in the lineup, though, as he's slashing .344/.388/.557 with three home runs, 12 RBI, seven runs and a stolen base through 67 plate appearances.

Strong start in platoon role Sheets went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Friday against Colorado.

Impact Sheets continued to pour it on for the Padres in the seventh inning, blasting a 371-foot homer to right field to make it an 8-0 game. The lefty-hitting corner outfielder regularly starts on the bench instead of Yuli Gurriel when San Diego is up against a southpaw, which limits his overall fantasy appeal, but Sheets is batting a strong .333 with two long balls, two doubles and eight RBI over 36 at-bats to open the campaign.

Continues to sit vs. lefties Sheets is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Southpaw Shota Imanaga is taking the mound Friday for Chicago, so it's not a surprise that Sheets finds himself on the bench despite a 1.196 OPS through 19 plate appearances. Yuli Gurriel will bat sixth as the designated hitter, as the pair continue to platoon the position.

Propels Padres to another win Sheets went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, two runs and four RBI in Monday's 7-2 victory versus the the Guardians.

Sheets signed with San Diego on a minor-league deal in February and earned a spot on the team's Opening Day roster due to a standout spring training. He's been working as the Padres' primary DH and is off to a fantastic start to the season, slashing .500/.533/.857 with a home run, three runs, five RBI and a stolen base through 15 plate appearances.

Impact Sheets has started the last three games at DH against right-handed pitching. He's responded well to the opportunity, going 4-for-11 with a home run to start the campaign. Playing the strong side of a platoon, Sheets should offer decent fantasy value in a high-powered Padres lineup.

MARCH 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slugs pinch-hit homer Sheets went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-4 win over Atlanta.

Impact Sheets was not in the starting lineup against left-hander Chris Sale.

Sheets picked up where he left off in Spring Training, when he slashed .311/.367/.756 with six homers. The former White Sox first baseman figures to see regular playing time for the Friars against right-handed pitching.

MARCH 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Selected to 40-man The Padres selected Sheets' contract from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

Impact Sheets has done a fantastic job proving he belongs on the Padres' Opening Day roster since signing an NRI deal with the club in February, slashing .311/.367/.756 with six homers and 12 RBI over 19 games. He's now officially been rewarded with a spot on the 40-man roster and has a good chance to open the season as the Friars' go-to DH against right-handed starters. Joe Musgrove (elbow) was placed on the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

MARCH 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Making big push for roster spot Sheets went 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs and three total RBI in Tuesday's Cactus League win over the White Sox.

Impact Sheets' first home run was a 417-foot solo shot to center field in the fifth inning. He then came up with the score tied in the ninth and blasted a walk-off two-run homer to right-center field. Sheets has been sizzling of late, going deep in four straight games with five long balls during that span. The hot spring stretch has significantly increased his likelihood of making the Opening Day roster, though several of the players he's competing with for one of the Padres' bench spots -- including Eguy Rosario, Tirso Ornelas and Brandon Lockridge -- have also played well this spring.

MARCH 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slugs spring homer Saturday Sheets went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Saturday's Cactus League win against the Guardians.

Impact Sheets capped a six-run first inning for San Diego with a three-run blast to right field. It was his first homer and third extra-base hit over 26 at-bats this spring, but he's batting just .154 with a 1:7 BB:K. Sheets is in camp as a non-roster invitee and is competing for one of the Padres' final roster spots.

MARCH 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Joining San Diego on MiLB deal Sheets signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Sunday that includes in invite to big-league spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact The 28-year-old was non-tendered by the White Sox in November after he finished the 2024 campaign with a .233/.303/.357 slash line in 139 games. Sheets will provide some organizational depth at first base and the corner outfield, with his clearest path to a roster spot likely being at designated hitter.

FEBRUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Free agent after being non-tendered The White Sox non-tendered Sheets on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Sheets was in line for a salary bump in his first year of arbitration eligibility, but the White Sox have elected to cut him loose rather than give him a raise. The 28-year-old had seemingly been in line for plenty of playing time for Chicago in 2025 but might find regular at-bats harder to come by in another organization. Sheets slashed just .233/.303/.357 with 10 homers in 139 games in 2024.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
