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

First baseman Gavin Sheets was non-tendered by the Chicago White Sox and will head to free agency, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Gavin Sheets showed some upside during his first two seasons on the Southside but struggled over the past two seasons. Last summer, the former second-round selection posted an underwhelming .233/.303/.357 line with ten home runs, 45 RBI, and a 43:106 BB:K ratio. During his debut campaign, he posted a strong 9.9% barrel rate and .449 xSLG, but this past season, he carried a much lower 5.7% rate.380 xSLG respectively. Fantasy managers should monitor his status in free agency, as he could be worth a late flier in deeper formats if he can find an everyday spot in the starting nine with a new club.

Chicago White Sox outfielder/designated hitter Gavin Sheets, infielder Nicky Lopez and catcher Korey Lee are all out on Saturday against the division-rival Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Bryan Ramos will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth, Zach DeLoach will play right field and bat second, Jacob Amaya will start at the 6 and bat ninth, and Chuckie Robinson will do the catching and hit eighth against Tigers right-handed opener Beau Brieske. Even though the team is facing a right-handed pitcher, Sheets will take a seat after going 1-for-22 in his last seven games. Ramos comes in hitting just .185 (17-for-92) with two home runs and eight RBI on the year for the Pale Hose. DeLoach is slashing .217/.288/.350 with only one home run and five RBI in his 60 at-bats in 2024. We don't recommend any of these options from Chicago for DFS lineups, even against a Tigers team that could be hungover after clinching their first playoff berth in 10 years on Friday.

Chicago White Sox outfielders Gavin Sheets and Andrew Benintendi, infielder Nicky Lopez and catcher Korey Lee are all sitting for Thursday's series finale at Guaranteed Rate Field versus the Los Angeles Angels and left-hander Tyler Anderson. Miguel Vargas is the designated hitter and is batting leadoff, Zach DeLoach is in left field and is hitting sixth, Lenyn Sosa is at the keystone and batting cleanup, and Chuckie Robinson is doing the catching and hitting out of the seven-hole against Anderson. Sheets will start on the bench for the second day in a row with another lefty on the hill. He's hit just .207 (17-for-82) with two of his 10 homers this year against lefties. Benintendi has similarly struggled against southpaws, going 24-for-113 (.212) with four of his 19 homers against them on the year. Vargas is hitting leadoff but has batted just .160 on the year with five homers in 194 at-bats.

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.
