Sheets isn't starting Saturday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets has swung a hot bat recently, going 5-for-13 with three homers, a double, seven RBI, two walks and three strikeouts over the last four games. He'll get a breather Saturday while Andrew Vaughn serves as the designated hitter with Adam Engel starting in right field.

Sheets went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets took Gerrit Cole yard in the fourth inning to record his fourth home run of the season. He's homered in three of his last four games, also driving in seven. Andrew Vaughn (hand) returned from the injured list Friday, but so long as Sheets continues to hit, he should maintain regular playing time between the corner outfield spots. Overall, Sheets is hitting .232/.284/.415 with 10 RBI and seven runs scored across 88 plate appearances.

Sheets went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets took Cal Quantrill yard in the sixth inning to record his third home run of the season and second in as many games. His power surge is coming at the right time, as Andrew Vaughn (hand) began a rehab assignment Tuesday, which could result in some lost playing time for Sheets. However, he's made plenty of contact early -- he's striking out at a 21.2 percent rate -- so there is room for his .213/.263/.360 line to improve.

Sheets went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a walk Monday against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets slugged his second home run of the season in the first inning. He has only four extra-base hits on the campaign, though he has made consistent contact and maintained a 21.1 percent strikeout rate. Despite a poor .211/.263/.324 line, Sheets should remain in line for regular playing time at least until Andrew Vaughn (hand) is able to return.

Sheets went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored Sunday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets has found himself in the lineup regularly against right-handed pitching since Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) has been sidelined. He's largely struggled with that opportunity, as he entered Sunday's game 1-for-10 with two strikeouts and two walks in his previous four games. However, Sheets had a productive game Sunday to tally his third multi-hit game of the season. Sheets is hitting just .235/.291/.333 across 55 plate appearances to begin the campaign, but he should continue to get an opportunity to serve as the team's primary designated hitter.

Sheets isn't starting Saturday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets went 0-for-10 with a walk and two strikeouts over his last three appearances, and he'll retreat to the bench with left-hander Jose Suarez starting for the Angels. Yasmani Grandal will serve as the designated hitter while Reese McGuire starts behind the dish.

Sheets is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets is expected to benefit from more at-bats while Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is sidelined for the next 6-to-8 weeks, but the lefty-hitting 26-year-old could still find himself on the bench regularly against southpaws. He'll take a seat with lefty Daniel Lynch toeing the rubber for Kansas City in the series opener.

Sheets went 1-for-3 with a walk Sunday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets started at first base and hit fifth Sunday, as Jose Abreu shifted to designated hitter. His performance wasn't particularly notable, though he should see sustained playing time either in left field or at designated hitter due to the absence of Eloy Jimenez (hamstring). As a result of a number of other injuries, Sheets was already playing regularly, and he has now collected at least one hit in four consecutive starts.

Sheets went 1-for-3 with a home run, hit-by-pitch and two RBI in a 9-3 loss Sunday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets drove in a run when he was hit by a pitch in the fourth and capped off the game with a solo homer in the ninth off right-handed reliever Tommy Romero. It was his first home run and RBI of the season. The 25-year-old has started in three of the last four games and has a hit in each appearance. Sheets has extreme platoon splits and will most likely receive starts only against right-handed pitchers.

Sheets isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets started the last two games and went 2-for-7 with a double, a run and three strikeouts. Even with right-hander Corey Kluber starting for Tampa Bay, Andrew Vaughn will start in right field while Reese McGuire enters the lineup behind the dish.
