Gavin Sheets's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Chicago White Sox outfielder Gavin Sheets will retreat to the bench on Friday against the Oakland Athletics at Guaranteed Rate Field with a left-hander on the mound. With Sheets starting on the pine, rookie Bryan Ramos will serve as the team's designated hitter and will bat leadoff against A's rookie left-hander Brady Basso. Sheets, who hits from the left side, has hit only .203 (15-for-74) with one of his eight home runs and 23 strikeouts in 82 plate appearances against southpaws this year. Ramos, who hits from the right side, has only had 60 plate appearances in his first 19 major-league games in 2024 and is slashing .211/.233/.298 with a .532 OPS, one homer, two doubles, four RBI and 11 strikeouts. He's in a favorable lineup spot against an inexperienced pitcher, but it's hard to recommend White Sox hitters as viable sleepers for DFS lineups.

Chicago White Sox first baseman Gavin Sheets equaled a career-best with four hits while driving in four in Monday's 12-2 win over the New York Yankees. Sheets had a career-best three doubles in his 4-for-5 night and is batting .231/.309/.367 with seven homers, 35 RBI, and 29 runs scored. He's hitting a blistering .526/.526/.737 over the past week with four RBI, and two runs scored, making him a hot hand for daily fantasy managers to consider. Sheets will have modest potential in standard formats, especially waiver wires in deeper leagues for those seeking production at first base.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Gavin Sheets is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Unsurprisingly, the White Sox will play matchups here against a left-handed starting pitcher. Nick Senzel will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth versus JP Sears on Monday. Senzel has been quiet this season with a .200 batting average with seven home runs and 18 RBI. Although, Senzel does hit left-handed pitching well, so maybe he can get it going here.
