Sheets is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Southpaw Shota Imanaga is taking the mound for Chicago, so it's not a surprise that Sheets finds himself on the bench. He has a 1.196 OPS through 19 plate appearances, all but one of which have come against right-handed pitching. Yuli Gurriel will bat sixth as the designated hitter, as the pair continue to platoon at the position.
