Sheets went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 8-2 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets capped off the White Sox's five-run rally in the ninth inning with his second homer in four games since he was called up. The 25-year-old has already amassed eight RBI, three runs scored and a pair of doubles in 17 plate appearances for a hot start to his major-league career. After playing his first three games in right field, Sheets served as the designated hitter at batted second Friday.

Sheets went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 13-3 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

After going 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in his MLB debut, Sheets enjoyed another solid day at the dish in his second career game. He slugged one of six home runs for the White Sox, taking Matt Shoemaker deep in the fifth inning for a 429-foot blast to right center. The rookie will remain in the lineup for Thursday's series finale as the White Sox's No. 7 hitter, and Sheets looks like he'll be a mainstay in right field while five other outfielders (Luis Robert, Eloy Jimenez, Adam Eaton, Adam Engel and Jake Lamb) are on the injured list.

Sheets went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

It was a busy big-league debut for the 25-year-old. Sheets singled to left field in the second inning for his first hit, brought home a run on a bases-loaded fielder's choice in the third that deflected off Kenta Maeda's glove, then blooped an RBI double into no man's land behind third base in the fifth. Sheets should be a regular part of the corner outfield mix for Chicago while Jake Lamb (quadriceps) is sidelined, and his solid .292/.352/.472 slash line through 41 games at Triple-A this year suggests he can contribute with consistent at-bats.

Sheets was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte prior to Tuesday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets was brought up to Chicago in early June but did not appear in a game before being sent back to Charlotte after a two-day stint with the big club. He'll return the White Sox on Tuesday and will be making his big-league debut when he's able to make his way into a game. Sheets, who has slashed .292/.352/.472 across 176 Triple-A plate appearances this season, figures to be serve as an extra outfielder and an option at first base while Jose Abreu (knee) manages an injury. Luis Gonzalez was optioned to Charlotte in a corresponding roster move.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets joined the major-league roster Thursday, but he didn't appear in either of the last two games. He'll now return to the minors after Andrew Vaughn was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move.

Sheets was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte prior to Thursday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Andrew Vaughn was placed on the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move, but it sounds like it could be a short stay for Vaughn, who is asymptomatic. Sheets has hit .319/.360/.500 with four home runs in 100 plate appearances at Triple-A. Jake Lamb will start in left field Thursday.

Sheets was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Tony La Russa mentioned the 24-year-old as a candidate to server as the designated hitter this season, but he won't make the Opening Day roster. Sheets could still make his major-league debut later in the season. He last played at Double-A in 2019, posting a .267/.345/.414 slash line with 16 homers, 18 doubles and 83 RBI in 126 games.

Sheets was mentioned by manager Tony La Russa as a possible candidate for the designated hitter spot this season, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andrew Vaughn is thought to be the favorite for the job, but Sheets has a solid minor-league resume himself and is on the 40-man roster. The canceled minors season last year prevented him from continuing his climb up the ladder, but he hit .267/.345/.414 with 16 homers in 126 games for Double-A Birmingham in 2019.

Sheets worked as an outfielder during instructional league in Arizona last fall, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets, a left-handed-hitting first baseman, decided to add outfield to his resume after being left off the White Sox's alternate training camp during the 2020 season. He became motivated by the team's decision to work on his overall game. He shed 15 pounds and learned the nuances of outfield play, getting assistance from his father, Larry, who played outfield during an eight-year career in the majors. Sheets, who last played for Doulbe-A Birmingham in 2019, is expected to be assigned to Triple-A Charlotte.

Sheets' contract was purchased by the White Sox on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

While Sheets appears to be blocked internally at first base by Jose Abreu and Andrew Vaughn, Chicago has a pretty shallow farm system, so it made sense to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He should get an invite to big-league spring training for the second year in a row before being assigned to Triple-A.
