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.
