Gavin Sheets DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Diego Padres first base/outfielder Gavin Sheets went 2-for-4 with two doubles, four RBI, and a run scored in Friday's 13-9 win over the Colorado Rockies. Sheets crushed a three-run double in the top of the fifth inning to give the Padres a 5-0 lead. In his next at-bat, he smacked an RBI double in the sixth inning for his fourth RBI of the game. The 29-year-old has now racked up multi-hit efforts in three of his last six games, hitting .389 (7-for-18) with a home run and six RBI. Overall, Sheets is slashing .284/.345/.461 with four home runs, 18 RBI, 13 runs, and a stolen base across 113 plate appearances in 2025. With two more games in hitter-friendly Coors Field, Sheets has been productive recently and can be used as a streamer in most leagues.

San Diego Padres first baseman Gavin Sheets is in the Padres' lineup for Friday night's matchup against the Houston Astros. Sheets has found himself in a platoon role and will face right-hander Ryan Gusto. The 28-year-old has been performing very well in his platoon role this season, hitting for a .907 OPS against righties. While he's put up solid numbers, both fantasy managers and DFS managers should be a bit weary of leaning too heavily on Sheets tonight. Gusto, generally a reliever, has made just one start on the season and only threw four innings. If Houston plays the matchup game early it could mean a short night for Sheets. Fantasy managers and DFS players willing to take a chance may see it pay off early, though, as Sheets should capitalize on Gusto's four-seam fastball and changeup mix he throws to lefties.

San Diego Padres outfielders Gavin Sheets and Jason Heyward are not in the starting lineup on Saturday afternoon, as the Chicago Cubs will send left-handed pitcher Matthew Boyd to the mound. Fantasy managers should expect both Sheets and Heyward to return to the starting lineup on Sunday when they face scheduled starter right-handed pitcher Ben Brown. Instead, the Padres will have Yuli Gurriel serve as the designated hitter for Sheets and Brandon Lockridge to cover left field in favor of Heyward. Sheets has enjoyed an impressive start to the campaign, hitting a .421 AVG with five RBI across seven contests. Both Gurriel and Lockridge are not worth targeting in DFS facing Boyd, who tossed five shutout frames in his season debut.
