Sheets is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis

Sheets went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets opened the scoring in the fifth inning with a solo shot off Bryan Woo. This was Sheets' first multi-hit effort in June -- he had gone just 2-for-22 (.091) over his previous nine contests. The 27-year-old's slump has him down to a .229/.307/.410 slash line with eight homers, 23 RBI, 16 runs scored and two doubles through 52 games. Sheets has seen a majority of the time in right field lately, but Eloy Jimenez should return to that spot when he's ready to play the field, while Clint Frazier could also be a competitor for playing time.

Sheets is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets typically sits out against southpaws, and the 27-year-old will open Sunday's game on the bench with lefty Braxton Garrett on the mound for the Marlins. Jake Burger will be the designated hitter and hit fifth Sunday.

Sheets is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Though he'll take a seat versus Yankees right-hander Randy Vasquez, the lefty-hitting Sheets has started in each of the White Sox's last 10 matchups with right-handed pitchers. Jake Burger is getting the nod as the White Sox's designated hitter Wednesday, but Sheets may still be the team's preferred option between the two in the strong side of a platoon.

Sheets is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
As is typically the case, the lefty-hitting Sheets will take a seat against a southpaw (Eduardo Rodriguez), but Sheets could soon see his opportunities against right-handed pitching come to an abrupt end. The White Sox reinstated Eloy Jimenez (appendectomy) from the 10-day injured list Sunday, and he looks poised to reclaim a regular role in right field moving forward with Jake Burger likely having established himself as an everyday player at designated hitter at this point. Burger could pick up reps at second base while Elvis Andrus (oblique) is sidelined, but until that happens, Sheets looks like he could be blocked from seeing steady playing time versus righties.

Sheets went 1-for-3 with a double and three RBI on Saturday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Sheets came to the plate with the bases loaded in the seventh inning and cleared the bases with a double. He has only one multi-hit game since the start of May, though his knocks have been timely as he has 13 RBI across his last 22 games. Sheets' regular role is in danger, as Eloy Jimenez (abdomen) could return as early as Sunday.
