Propels Padres to another win Sheets went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, two runs and four RBI in Monday's 7-2 victory versus the the Guardians.
Impact San Diego fell behind in the first inning on a Jose Ramirez solo homer, but Sheets gave the Padres the lead with his two-run double in the second. He added another two-run two-bagger in the fifth, giving him four total RBI in the game. Sheets signed with San Diego on a minor-league deal in February and earned a spot on the team's Opening Day roster due to a standout spring training. He's been working as the Padres' primary DH and is off to a fantastic start to the season, slashing .500/.533/.857 with a home run, three runs, five RBI and a stolen base through 15 plate appearances.

Two hits, steal vs. Atlanta Sheets went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 5-0 win over Atlanta.
Impact Sheets has started the last three games at DH against right-handed pitching. He's responded well to the opportunity, going 4-for-11 with a home run to start the campaign. Playing the strong side of a platoon, Sheets should offer decent fantasy value in a high-powered Padres lineup.

Slugs pinch-hit homer Sheets went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-4 win over Atlanta.
Impact Sheets was not in the starting lineup against left-hander Chris Sale. He entered as a pinch-hitter for Brandon Lockridge in the seventh inning and launched a game-tying homer off Hector Neris that kick-started San Diego's comeback victory. Sheets picked up where he left off in Spring Training, when he slashed .311/.367/.756 with six homers. The former White Sox first baseman figures to see regular playing time for the Friars against right-handed pitching.
MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE
Selected to 40-man The Padres selected Sheets' contract from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.
Impact Sheets has done a fantastic job proving he belongs on the Padres' Opening Day roster since signing an NRI deal with the club in February, slashing .311/.367/.756 with six homers and 12 RBI over 19 games. He's now officially been rewarded with a spot on the 40-man roster and has a good chance to open the season as the Friars' go-to DH against right-handed starters. Joe Musgrove (elbow) was placed on the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Making big push for roster spot Sheets went 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs and three total RBI in Tuesday's Cactus League win over the White Sox.
Impact Sheets' first home run was a 417-foot solo shot to center field in the fifth inning. He then came up with the score tied in the ninth and blasted a walk-off two-run homer to right-center field. Sheets has been sizzling of late, going deep in four straight games with five long balls during that span. The hot spring stretch has significantly increased his likelihood of making the Opening Day roster, though several of the players he's competing with for one of the Padres' bench spots -- including Eguy Rosario, Tirso Ornelas and Brandon Lockridge -- have also played well this spring.

Slugs spring homer Saturday Sheets went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Saturday's Cactus League win against the Guardians.
Impact Sheets capped a six-run first inning for San Diego with a three-run blast to right field. It was his first homer and third extra-base hit over 26 at-bats this spring, but he's batting just .154 with a 1:7 BB:K. Sheets is in camp as a non-roster invitee and is competing for one of the Padres' final roster spots.

Impact The 28-year-old was non-tendered by the White Sox in November after he finished the 2024 campaign with a .233/.303/.357 slash line in 139 games.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Free agent after being non-tendered The White Sox non-tendered Sheets on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Sheets was in line for a salary bump in his first year of arbitration eligibility, but the White Sox have elected to cut him loose rather than give him a raise. The 28-year-old had seemingly been in line for plenty of playing time for Chicago in 2025 but might find regular at-bats harder to come by in another organization. Sheets slashed just .233/.303/.357 with 10 homers in 139 games in 2024.

Despite the productive stretch, Sheets has just a .131 ISO and .685 OPS across 477 plate appearances.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Homers in win Sheets went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-6 win over the A's.
Impact Sheets took JT Ginn deep in the third inning and snapped a streak of 23 games without a home run in the process. Sheets recorded his first extra-base hit since August 14, despite hitting .278 over that span, which speaks volume to his power output as of late. The 28-year-old had double-digit homers in each of his first three seasons and is now one away from reaching that mark in 2024.
