Padres' Gavin Sheets: Shelved with left foot sprain
San Diego placed Sheets on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left foot sprain.
Sheets will make his first trip to the IL this season. The 30-year-old has been struggling over his last 30 games, slashing just .179/.296/.269 with two homers and six RBI over 78 plate appearances. San Diego recalled Sung-Mun Song from Triple-A El Paso to replace Sheets on the 26-man roster.

Sheets isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Padres' Gavin Sheets: Sitting against righty
Sheets is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
After taking a seat for Tuesday's 5-2 win while southpaw Zac Thornton started for the Mets, the left-handed-hitting Sheets will remain on the bench against a righty (Robert Stock) for the series finale in New York.

Padres' Gavin Sheets: Pops 15th homer
Sheets went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Astros.
Sheets hadn't homered since June 30 versus the Cubs. During the 31-game power drought, he hit just .155 (13-for-84) with two doubles, five RBI and a 16:14 BB:K. The 30-year-old's slump, combined with the signing of Austin Hays on Sunday, could lead to Sheets losing some playing time, though he's still in the mix at first base, designated hitter and left field. Overall, Sheets is batting .214 with a .713 OPS, 15 homers, 44 RBI, 44 runs scored, 15 doubles and four stolen bases over 110 contests.

Padres' Gavin Sheets: In lineup vs. lefty
Sheets is in the lineup Thursday versus the Diamondbacks.
Arizona has southpaw Kohl Drake taking the mound Thursday, which usually means the left-handed hitting Sheets would take a seat. It's the 30-year-old's second start versus a lefty since July 2. He has a .376 OPS in 17 games since the All-Star break.

Padres' Gavin Sheets: Taking seat Monday
Sheets is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Over his last 20 games, Sheets is slashing an abysmal .120/.281/.120 with no extra-base hits, and his extended slump could be starting to cost him playing time. He'll hit the bench for the fourth time in five games, with two of his absences coming against righties and two coming against lefties.

Padres' Gavin Sheets: Homers after entering late
Sheets went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Cubs on Tuesday.
With Chicago sending out lefty Matthew Boyd as the team's starter, Sheets began Tuesday's contest on the bench in favor of Jase Bowen. However, Sheets entered to pinch hit for Bowen in the sixth inning and finished off the contest in left field. Though Sheets grounded out in that pinch-hit appearance, he got another turn at the plate and gave the Padres a little life with a three-run blast to right-center field in the eighth frame. The veteran slugger typically rests against lefty starters, which dents his fantasy appeal to an extent. However, Sheets has otherwise been one of San Diego's most productive batters, slashing .232/.317/.461 while ranking second on the club in home runs (14) and RBI (38) through 78 games.

Padres' Gavin Sheets: Homers in three-hit effort
Sheets went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Saturday's 15-3 loss to the Dodgers.
Sheets was the most productive Padre in this lopsided loss. This was his first multi-hit effort since his two-hit game versus the Rangers on June 19 -- he had gone 2-for-14 over the six games he played in between. The 30-year-old is now batting .234 with a .776 OPS, 13 homers, 35 RBI, 31 runs scored, 13 doubles and four stolen bases over 75 contests. Sheets got the start at first base for Ty France (wrist), but France's injury isn't expected to be a long-term concern. That will leave Sheets to mix in occasionally at first while getting most of his playing time between left field and designated hitter.

Padres' Gavin Sheets: Homer, steal in loss
Sheets went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.
Sheets opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning before adding a solo blast in the eighth. The 30-year-old has gone deep twice in his past six games, though he's hitting just .195 through 15 June contests overall. On the season, he's slashing .230/.318/.456 with 12 homers, 32 RBI, 29 runs scored and four steals across 245 plate appearances.

Padres' Gavin Sheets: Swats homer Saturday
Sheets went 1-for-5 with a solo home run against Baltimore in a 9-3 victory Saturday.
Sheets was one of five Padres to go deep in the win, and his seventh-inning solo shot off Albert Suarez gave the team a 7-2 lead. The veteran slugger has played a key role in the offense this season, ranking second in homers (11) and RBI (30). Sheets' defensive versatility has also been useful, as he's jumped around between first base and right field while also logging starts at DH.

Padres' Gavin Sheets: Monster performance in win
Sheets went 3-for-3 with two homers, a double, two walks and four total RBI in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Mariners.
Sheets' torrid stretch at the plate reached another level Sunday, as he slugged a pair of monstrous homers off starter George Kirby before adding an RBI double in the seventh inning. "Hot" likely undersells how well Sheets has been swinging the bat of late, as the 30-year-old is 10-for-19 (.526) over his past seven games with four homers, eight RBI, six runs and a stolen base during that stretch. On the season, the big lefty is slashing .262/.340/.556 with nine homers, 10 doubles, 21 RBI, 19 runs and three stolen bases across 141 plate appearances.
