Impact Sheets was the only Chicago batter with multiple hits in the contest, and he produced both of the team's runs. He snapped a 47-game homer drought with his solo shot in the second inning. Sheets has been heating up, going 13-for-24 (.542) with five doubles and six RBI during his six-game hitting streak. For the season, he's slashing .234/.310/.379 with eight homers, 37 RBI, 30 runs scored, 24 doubles and one stolen base over 107 contests.

Smacks three doubles Sheets went 4-for-5 with three RBI doubles, an RBI single and a run scored during Monday's 12-2 win over the Yankees.

Impact Sheets was featured in the White Sox attack Monday, driving in four of the team's season-high 12 runs. The outing marked his first four-hit game of 2024 and was his first game with multiple extra-base hits since May 5. Sheets is swinging a hot bat, going 8-for-16 (.500) over his last four games.

Riding pine Monday Sheets is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Sheets got the day off Sunday but will remain out of the lineup Monday against southpaw JP Sears and the Athletics. In his place, Nick Senzel will DH and bat fifth.

AUGUST 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hitting bench Sunday Sheets is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Sheets had been scheduled to get the day off in Saturday's 6-2 loss, but he ended up starting at first base while going 0-for-3 with a run scored after Andrew Vaughn was scratched with an illness. With Vaughn drawing back into the starting nine Sunday, Sheets will get the chance to rest up in the series finale.

AUGUST 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Saturday Sheets is absent from the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Sheets will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout after going 0-for-4 with one strikeout in Friday's 10-2 loss to Minnesota. Andrew Benintendi will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober.

AUGUST 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Regular role opens back up Sheets will start in right field and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Impact Sheets will pick up his third straight start, despite going 1-for-9 with four strikeouts in the final two contests of the White Sox's series with the Mariners over the weekend. Though the lefty-hitting Sheets could still regularly sit out against left-handed pitching, he should have a clearer path to steady playing time versus righties after the White Sox traded away Tommy Pham to the Cardinals earlier Tuesday.

JULY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Losing work versus righties Sheets will start in right field and bat second Sunday against the Royals.

Impact Though he'll occupy a prominent spot in the batting order in the series finale in Kansas City, Sheets still appears to be on the outside looking in for a regular spot in the White Sox lineup. He didn't start in either of the first two games of the series, with the Royals bringing righties to the hill for both contests. With Andrew Vaughn and Eloy Jimenez locked in as the White Sox's primary starters at first base and designated hitter, respectively, and Andrew Benintendi and Tommy Pham typically serving as the team's starters in the corner outfield, Sheets look like he'll need an injury or a trade to get steadier playing time.

JULY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still getting regular starts Sheets will start in right field and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Though Sheets doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role at any one spot in the lineup, he's now been included in the starting nine for five of the last six games while seeing action in right field, at first base and at designated hitter. Andrew Benintendi will get a day off Sunday to make room in the outfield for Sheets.

JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Sheets (heel) is serving as the designated hitter and batting in the cleanup spot for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Sheets returns to the starting lineup Saturday after missing the last two games due to a bruised left heel he sustained Wednesday against the Dodgers. The 28-year-old lefty pinch hit in the bottom of the sixth inning of Friday's 5-3 win over Colorado, reaching base on his only at-bat on an intentional walk. For the month of June, Sheets is slashing .257/.321/.419 with three home runs and nine RBI over 74 at-bats.

JUNE 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Monday, could sit vs. RHPs Sheets is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact The lefty-hitting Sheets will hit the bench while the Dodgers send southpaw James Paxton to the mound. Sheets had started the previous five games while the White Sox faced off against right-handed pitchers, but he'll likely begin to sit out some of those matchups more frequently after Chicago returned Eloy Jimenez from the injured list Sunday. With Jimenez occupying the designated-hitter spot, Andrew Vaughn locked in at first base and Andrew Benintendi and Tommy Pham serving as the White Sox's primary starters in the corner outfield, all four of Sheets' avenues for regular playing time would seem to be blocked.

JUNE 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not facing lefty Sheets is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Impact Sheets will take a seat Tuesday with Framber Valdez on the mound for Houston. Corey Julks will fill the DH spot and bat seventh.

JUNE 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting versus lefty Sheets is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Sheets is hitting .188 with a .616 OPS through 16 games in May and will take a seat Tuesday with southpaw Yusei Kikuchi pitching for Toronto. Corey Julks will start in right field and bat fifth.

MAY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Entering spring on roster bubble Sheets could have trouble making the Opening Day roster after recent additions to the White Sox's roster, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Sheets spent the last two seasons with a significant share of playing time in right field, and for much of the offseason, it appeared that would remain the case in 2024. However, the White Sox have made several additions late in the offseason, including Kevin Pillar, Mike Moustakas and Dominic Fletcher. All three of those players will be competing directly with Sheets for both plate appearances and a roster spot, so he'll likely need to have a good showing in the spring to head east with the big club.

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Swats homer No. 10 Sheets went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Twins.

Impact He took Pablo Lopez deep in the first inning, giving the White Sox an early 5-0 lead that they barely managed to avoid squandering. Sheets snapped an 18-game homer drought with the blast, a stretch dating back to Aug. 18 in which he slashed a meager .156/.191/.222. The 27-year-old has taken over as the regular right fielder for Chicago against right-handed pitching, and while hits have been hard to come by lately, Sheets does have eight RBI in his last six contests.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Snaps homer drought in loss Sheets went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Cubs on Wednesday.

Impact Sheets gave the White Sox a 3-0 lead in the fifth frame with a two-run blast, but the team's bullpen couldn't seal the deal in the late innings. The long ball was Sheets' first since June 16, a span of 33 games. The veteran has seen his playing time decline as his bat has been cold. Since June 20, he's slashing a meager .178/.241/.247 with one homer, seven RBI, three runs and a 5:17 BB:K over 32 contests.

AUGUST 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Losing playing time to Colas Sheets is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact On the bench for the fourth time in six games, Sheets appears to have moved into a bench role in the wake of the White Sox bringing aboard another lefty-hitting corner outfielder in Oscar Colas from Triple-A Charlotte. Colas has gotten off to a slow start at the plate since being recalled, but he'll likely get some time following the All-Star break to try and right the ship since Sheets wasn't provided ample production in a strong-side platoon role. Since turning in back-to-back two-hit games in the middle of June, Sheets has gone 5-for-33 at the dish over his last 14 contests.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting versus lefty Sheets isn't in the White Sox's lineup Saturday against Oakland.

Impact Left-hander Kyle Muller will take the mound for Oakland to begin Saturday's contest, so the left-handed Sheets will remain in the dugout. Yasmani Grandal will fill in as Chicago's designated hitter, allowing Seby Zavala to start behind the plate and bat eighth.

JULY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Sheets is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Angels.

Impact Yasmani Grandal will take a DH day and Seby Zavala will start behind the plate as the White Sox face off against left-hander Patrick Sandoval. Sheets continues to ride the pine versus southpaws.

JUNE 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Sheets is out of the lineup Monday versus the Angels.

Impact Eloy Jimenez will take a turn as the DH and Clint Frazier will cover right field as the White Sox face off against left-hander Reid Detmers. Sheets has drawn only six plate appearances this year versus southpaws, compared to 175 plate appearances against righties.

JUNE 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against southpaw Sheets is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Impact With the White Sox facing off against a southpaw (Martin Perez), the lefty-hitting Sheets will head to the bench for the second time in the series. Clint Frazier will replace Sheets in right field and will bat seventh.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Monday Sheets is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Rangers.

Impact Sheets will take a seat after he went 5-for-10 with a solo homer and two doubles during the team's three-game series with Seattle. Eloy Jimenez slot in at designated hitter while Clint Frazier enters the lineup in right field and bats seventh in the series opener with Texas.

JUNE 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep in loss Sheets went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Sheets opened the scoring in the fifth inning with a solo shot off Bryan Woo. This was Sheets' first multi-hit effort in June -- he had gone just 2-for-22 (.091) over his previous nine contests. The 27-year-old's slump has him down to a .229/.307/.410 slash line with eight homers, 23 RBI, 16 runs scored and two doubles through 52 games. Sheets has seen a majority of the time in right field lately, but Eloy Jimenez should return to that spot when he's ready to play the field, while Clint Frazier could also be a competitor for playing time.

JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out vs. lefty Sheets is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest vs. Miami.

Impact Sheets typically sits out against southpaws, and the 27-year-old will open Sunday's game on the bench with Braxton Garrett on the mound for the Marlins. Jake Burger will be the designated hitter and hit fifth against Garrett and Miami.

JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench versus righty Sheets is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, afsda

Impact Though he'll take a seat versus Yankees right-hander Randy Vasquez, the lefty-hitting Sheets has started in each of the White Sox's last 10 matchups with right-handed pitchers. Jake Burger is getting the nod as the White Sox's designated hitter Wednesday, but Sheets may still be the team's preferred option between the two in the strong side of a platoon.
