Chicago White Sox outfielder Gavin Sheets (heel) has returned to the team's starting lineup on Saturday, serving as the designated hitter while batting cleanup against the visiting Colorado Rockies and right-hander Cal Quantrill. Sheets was removed from Wednesday's game early against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to a bruised left heel and missed the last two games as a result, but he's back in there now and in the heart of Chicago's lineup. The 28-year-old left-handed slugger doesn't really move the needle all that much in fantasy, especially on a really bad White Sox team, while slashing .243/.339/.410 with a .749 OPS, seven long balls, 28 RBI and 22 runs scored in 239 at-bats. In 10 career at-bats versus Quantrill, Sheets has two hits (one homer) and two RBI.

Chicago White Sox outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez is getting the day off on Saturday versus the visiting Colorado Rockies. With Jimenez starting on the bench, outfielder Gavin Sheets (heel) will return to the lineup as the designated hitter and will bat cleanup against Rockies right-hander Cal Quantrill. Since returning from a long stay on the injured list on June 23, Jimenez has been rusty at the plate, going 3-for-19 (.158) with a double, RBI, walk, four strikeouts and two runs scored in five games played. The 27-year-old Dominican outfielder will continue to be a regular for the worst team in baseball, but fantasy managers obviously won't be able to count on much production from him. Jimenez is currently hitting just .222/.277/.359 on the year with five homers, 13 RBI and 14 runs scored in 41 games.


The Colorado Rockies announced on Saturday that they reinstated outfielder Charlie Blackmon (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and optioned outfielder Sean Bouchard to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. Blackman is immediately being put back in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox as well, serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff against White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon. The 37-year-old veteran will return for the first time since straining his right hamstring on June 18 against the Los Angeles Dodgers following a minimal stay on the IL. Blackmon is no longer an All-Star caliber player and only has three home runs on the year, but he was heating up at the plate before his injury and is hoping to pick up where he left off atop Colorado's lineup on Saturday.


Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 10-3 win over the Guardians. The 26-year-old also walked once and scored twice in the contest. He's now hit safely in four of his last five games, going 6-for-19 (.316) during that stretch, and has recorded an RBI in five straight. The former 11th-round draft pick isn't hitting for average (.237), but is on pace to easily set a career-high in home runs this season and has driven in 53 runs so far. With a low K% (13.1%) and high Contact% (87.3%), there's reason to believe the second half will be better for his batting average than the first half.



Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio went 2-for-3 with a single and his first career grand slam in Friday's 4-2 win over the Cubs. The slam was all the scoring the Brewers would muster in the game but it proved to be enough to win it. It was also Chourio's ninth home run of the season and extended his modest hit streak to five games, going 8-for-17 (.471) over that stretch. June has been a good month for the rookie, posting a .318-4-17-12-1 line in 21 games. Hopefully this is more of what we'll see for the rest of the season for the budding star.
