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.

Sheets isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets is slated to occupy the strong side of a platoon in right field while AJ Pollock (hamstring) is on the 10-day injured list. However, Adam Engel will draw the start Wednesday since left-hander Robbie Ray is on the mound for Seattle.

Sheets will start in right field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets started in only one of the White Sox's first three games during the club's season-opening series in Detroit, but he should face a clearer path to playing time in the outfield after AJ Pollock (hamstring) was moved to the injured list Tuesday. Manager Tony LaRussa could choose to take a platoon approach to right field, with the lefty-hitting Sheets occupying the larger side of the timeshare while the righty-hitting Adam Engel picks up starts against southpaws.

Sheets is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets will sit for the second time in the three-game series with Detroit bringing another lefty (Tarik Skubal) to the hill for Sunday's finale. The 25-year-old Sheets, who went 0-for-4 in his season debut in Saturday's 5-2 win, appears set to handle a part-time role against right-handed pitching, though he would see his playing-time outlook improve if AJ Pollock (hamstring) is forced to the injured list.

Sheets went 2-for-4 with a double and home run in Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Astros in Game 4 of the ALDS.
EDGE Analysis
He got the start at DH with the White Sox's season on the line and accounted for all of the team's offense with his second-inning homer off Lance McCullers. Sheets went 4-for-12 in the series after an impressive .250/.324/.506 debut during the regular season (54 games). The roster is crowded, but Sheets would seems to have the inside track on a roster spot heading into spring training 2022.

EDGE Analysis
Sheets went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts while starting at first base in Game 1, and he's not in the starting nine Friday. Andrew Vaughn will serve as the designated hitter while Jose Abreu returns to his regular post at first base.

Sheets went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI on Wednesday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets took Sonny Gray yard for a two-run shot in the third inning to record his 11th home run of the season. It was his second long ball in as many games. Sheets is also riding a modest three-game hitting streak, though he also has at least one hit in six of his last eight contests. Overall, Sheets is hitting .245/.324/.517 across 170 big-league plate appearances.

Sheets went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets ripped a home run over the right field wall in the fourth before adding to his RBI total in the sixth after scoring Eloy Jimenez on a base hit. The 25-year-old Sheets has seen some increased playing time during the final stretch of the season but that should likely change once the playoffs get underway. Sheets is slashing .236/.317/.493 with 10 homers, 28 RBI, 19 runs scored and 16:38 BB:K over 167 plate appearances. He could be a very useful bat off the bench in the postseason, particularly against right-handed pitching.
