Sheets will sit Tuesday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets will take a seat for a second consecutive game Tuesday, potentially receiving additional rest after recently suffering an ankle injury. That being said, the lefty-hitting Sheets' absence from the lineup against a right-handed starting pitcher (Brady Singer) could hint that he's moved into more of a fourth-outfield role, with AJ Pollock having gained more traction as a regular in the starting nine. Sheets is getting on base at a .154 clip thus far in August, while Pollock owns a .350 OBP on the month.

Sheets is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets will return to the bench after he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in his return to the lineup for Saturday's 8-0 loss. He had been dealing with a bruised ankle prior to starting Saturday, so the White Sox may be holding Sheets out for the series finale as a precaution.

Sheets (ankle) will bat eighth and play right field Saturday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets hasn't started since he was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to a bruised ankle, though he did appear off the bench Thursday. He'll be involved from the start this time around and will look to improve on his unimpressive .230/.289/.391 season slash line.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Sheets is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game as he continues to deal with a bruised ankle. However, he was available as a pinch hitter Wednesday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him available off the bench once again Thursday.

Sheets is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals but is available as a pinch-hitting option off the bench after he bruised his ankle in Tuesday's 9-2 win, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

He suffered the injury in question in the eighth inning, when he banged into the outfield wall while chasing down a flyball. Sheets, who went 1-for-4 with his ninth home run of the season Tuesday, will cede his spot in the outfield to AJ Pollock in the series finale.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets was slated to start in center field Wednesday, but Adam Engel will enter the lineup in center field and bat ninth. It's not yet clear whether Sheets will be available off the bench.

Sheets went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets provided extra insurance for the White Sox with his seventh-inning homer. In his last 15 games, the outfielder has gone 12-for-51 (.235) with four long balls. He's up to a .231/.290/.393 slash line with nine homers, 26 RBI, 19 runs scored and 11 doubles through 255 plate appearances. The 26-year-old should continue to play against most right-handed pitchers.

Sheets isn't starting Monday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in a 3-2 win against Oakland on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets connected on a two-run long ball in the seventh inning and doubling in the ninth before being lifted for pinch-runner Adam Engel, who scored the game-winning run on a wild pitch. The 26-year-old Sheets has compiled a modest three-game hitting streak during which he's gone 5-for-12, though he was 1-for-24 over his previous seven games. Sheets is now slashing .230/.293/.385 with eight home runs, 18 runs and 24 RBI through 226 at-bats.
