Sheets (heel) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets will be absent from the starting lineup for a second consecutive game since being removed Wednesday with a left heel contusion. While it's possible he wouldn't have been in the lineup even if fully healthy, Sheets should still be considered day-to-day.

Sheets (heel) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets was forced out of Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers with a bruised left heel and is considered day-to-day. The 28-year-old could end up filling more of a part-time role for the White Sox moving forward in the wake of Eloy Jimenez's recent return from the injured list, so Sheets may not re-enter the lineup for a few more days even if he quickly shakes off the heel injury.

X-rays on Sheets' left heel came back negative after he was removed early from Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox are now labeling Sheets' injury as a bruise, and he's considered day-to-day. It's possible the team holds him out for a game or two as a precaution, but he shouldn't be in line for an extended absence.

Sheets was removed from Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to a jammed left heel.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of Sheets' injury remains unknown, but he is being further evaluated, and the White Sox should offer an update on his status in the near future. The 28-year-old has been heating up at the plate recently, going 8-for-22 in his last six games heading into Wednesday's contest.

Sheets is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Sheets will hit the bench while the Dodgers send southpaw James Paxton to the mound. Sheets had started the previous five games while the White Sox faced off against right-handed pitchers, but he'll likely begin to sit out some of those matchups more frequently after Chicago returned Eloy Jimenez from the injured list Sunday. With Jimenez occupying the designated-hitter spot, Andrew Vaughn locked in at first base and Andrew Benintendi and Tommy Pham serving as the White Sox's primary starters in the corner outfield, all four of Sheets' avenues for regular playing time would seem to be blocked.

EDGE Analysis

Sheets will take a seat Tuesday with Framber Valdez on the mound for Houston. Corey Julks will fill the DH spot and bat seventh.

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

EDGE Analysis

With southpaw Jordan Montgomery on the hill for the Diamondbacks, the lefty-hitting Sheets will retreat to the bench. Korey Lee will get a day off of catching duties and will serve as Chicago's designated hitter in Sheets' stead. Though he remains the White Sox's preferred DH against right-handed pitching for now, Sheets could lose out on regular playing time during the upcoming week, when Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) will likely come off the injured list.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old slugger took Brayan Bello deep in the fifth inning, breaking a 1-1 tie and giving Sheets the first grand slam of his career.
