Sheets is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets had been scheduled to get the day off in Saturday's 6-2 loss, but he ended up starting at first base while going 0-for-3 with a run scored after Andrew Vaughn was scratched with an illness. With Vaughn drawing back into the starting nine Sunday, Sheets will get the chance to rest up in the series finale.

Sheets will start in right field and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets will pick up his third straight start, despite going 1-for-9 with four strikeouts in the final two contests of the White Sox's series with the Mariners over the weekend. Though the lefty-hitting Sheets could still regularly sit out against left-handed pitching, he should have a clearer path to steady playing time versus righties after the White Sox traded away Tommy Pham to the Cardinals earlier Tuesday.

Sheets will start in right field and bat second Sunday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll occupy a prominent spot in the batting order in the series finale in Kansas City, Sheets still appears to be on the outside looking in for a regular spot in the White Sox lineup. He didn't start in either of the first two games of the series, with the Royals bringing righties to the hill for both contests. With Andrew Vaughn and Eloy Jimenez locked in as the White Sox's primary starters at first base and designated hitter, respectively, and Andrew Benintendi and Tommy Pham typically serving as the team's starters in the corner outfield, Sheets look like he'll need an injury or a trade to get steadier playing time.

Sheets will start in right field and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Though Sheets doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role at any one spot in the lineup, he's now been included in the starting nine for five of the last six games while seeing action in right field, at first base and at designated hitter. Andrew Benintendi will get a day off Sunday to make room in the outfield for Sheets.

Sheets (heel) is serving as the designated hitter and batting in the cleanup spot for Saturday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets returns to the starting lineup Saturday after missing the last two games due to a bruised left heel he sustained Wednesday against the Dodgers. The 28-year-old lefty pinch hit in the bottom of the sixth inning of Friday's 5-3 win over Colorado, reaching base on an intentional walk in his only at-bat. For the month of June, Sheets is slashing .257/.321/.419 with three home runs and nine RBI over 74 at-bats.
