Sheets went 3-for-3 with a walk and one run scored in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets hit out of the cleanup spot for the third game in a row, and this one was notable as it came against Arizona lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. The change to the Padres' batting order has been against all pitchers recently as manager Mike Shildt looks to spark a slumping Jackson Merrill. Sheets has certainly earned a prolific spot in the lineup -- he's batting .295 over his last 30 games, though he has a relatively modest 10 extra-base hits in that span. For the season, the veteran outfielder has a .269/.328/.456 slash line, 14 home runs, 50 RBI, 35 runs scored, 14 doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 90 contests. His move to San Diego for 2025 has paid off as he tracks toward a career year in nearly every area.

Sheets went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
San Diego managed just four hits in the loss, and Sheets' seventh-inning, 437-foot solo homer was the only ball to leave the park. It was the just the second home run over the past 23 games for the veteran slugger, though he's had a strong first half overall. Sheets has a .771 OPS through 89 contests, and with 14 homers he's just one shy of his career-high mark of 15 set in 2022 while with the White Sox.

Sheets went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and two doubles in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets gave the Padres a 6-4 lead in the seventh inning with a 422-foot blast that held up as the game-winning home run. It was the 29-year-old's first homer since June 14, and he snapped a 3-for-18 slump over his previous five games. He's now slashing .265/.322/.470 with 13 long balls, 49 RBI, 33 runs scored and one steal across 295 plate appearances in what's shaping up to be a career-best campaign.

Sheets went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets has hit safely in five straight games, going 7-for-18 (.389) in that span. The homer was his first since May 28 versus the Marlins. The 29-year-old is up to 12 long balls on the season, which is already the second-highest mark in his five-year career. He's added a .261/.318/.477 slash line with 40 RBI, 25 runs scored, nine doubles, one triple and one stolen base across 66 games.

Sheets went 2-for-5 with a triple and four RBI in a loss to San Francisco on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets got the scoring started with a two-run triple -- just the second three-bagger of his career -- in the first inning. He added a two-run single in the fifth to give the Padres a 5-0 lead, but those were the final runs the team scored. Sheets was pulled early from Sunday's game against Pittsburgh after colliding with the outfield wall, but he seems to be fine now, as he's started each of the Padres' past two contests. He's up to 38 RBI through 57 games this year, just 15 short of the career-high 53 RBI he produced across 124 contests in 2022 with the White Sox.

Sheets (head) will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth in Tuesday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets missed a start Monday after colliding with the outfield wall Sunday, though he appeared as a pinch hitter during Monday's game. Now fully recovered, he'll aim to bounce back after going 2-for-18 across his last seven games.

Sheets (head/hip/wrist/thumb) grounded out as a pinch hitter in Monday's 1-0 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, Sheets was evaluated for a head bruise, hip soreness and wrist/thumb soreness after colliding with the outfield wall Sunday against Pittsburgh. The veteran slugger was also evaluated for a concussion, though he appears to have passed through protocol given his ability to enter as a pinch hitter Monday. Sheets said prior to the game against San Francisco that he expects to avoid being placed on the IL, and the pinch-hit appearance similarly suggests that such a stint won't be needed.

Sheets (undisclosed) is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets was forced from Sunday's game against the Pirates after colliding with the outfield wall. He was set to be evaluated for various injuries, and it's not clear at this point whether a trip to the 10-day IL is on the table. Tyler Wade is in left field and batting seventh for the Padres on Monday, and Sheets noted before the game that he'll be available off the bench if called upon, per Dennis Lin of The Athletic.

Sheets (undisclosed) exited Sunday's contest versus the Pirates in the top of the fourth inning after colliding with the outfield wall, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets slammed into the wall while trying to track a flyball from Adam Frazier, which went over the fence for a solo home run. The 29-year-old was removed from the game after remaining down for several moments, being replaced in left field by Brandon Lockridge. More information on his status will likely be provided in the near future.

EDGE Analysis
Sheets got the scoring started with an RBI single in the first inning and later gave the Padres an 8-7 lead with a two-run home run in the seventh. The 29-year-old has been on a power binge over his last 10 games, homering five times with 11 RBI. He's been a pleasant surprise so far this season, slashing .275/.324/.509 with 11 long balls, 34 RBI, 23 runs scored and a stolen base across 185 plate appearances.
