Gavin Sheets Remains a Power Bat to Target on the Waiver Wire Despite Recent Skid

Across 213 plate appearances in 2026, San Diego Padres first baseman/outfielder Gavin Sheets is hitting .223/.315/.441 with 10 home runs, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored, and three stolen bases. The lefty-swinger is limited to a big-side platoon role, as he's hit .143 in 38 plate appearances against left-handed pitching. Still, Sheets' 9.5% barrel rate and 45.3% hard-hit rate both support solid power output. He also owns a 10.8% walk rate, which helps lift his production floor and keeps his playing time stable. Sheets typically hits in the heart of the Padres' lineup on days that he starts. If some of San Diego's struggling hitters around Sheets start to heat up over the summer months, Sheets will be in a good position to rack up counting stats. His upside is limited by his lack of ability to hit lefties, but Sheets still profiles as a solid deep-league power bat to target on the waiver wire.

Gavin Sheets Worth an Add for Power Upside

San Diego Padres first baseman/outfielder Gavin Sheets is putting together a very productive season and could be a worthwhile waiver wire pickup for managers needing corner infield or outfield help. In just 163 at-bats, the lefty has already hit nine home runs with 23 RBI and is posting a strong .807 OPS. He's been very effective against right-handed pitching, posting a .879 OPS with an elite .529 SLG. While his playing time can be inconsistent as a platoon bat, when he's in the lineup, he's been producing at a high level. Under the hood, Sheets is impacting the ball quite hard, as evidenced by his 71st percentile 45.5% hard-hit rate and 82nd percentile 74.8 mph average bat speed. Sheets is still widely available in most leagues, sitting at just 23% rostered on Yahoo, and offers a nice combination of power and on-base skills. If you're looking for a depth outfielder or corner infielder with above-average power, he's worth a look.

Gavin Sheets a Priority Waiver-Wire Addition Amid Hitting Streak?

San Diego Padres first baseman Gavin Sheets has recorded a base hit in five consecutive games, offering consistency and upside in fantasy baseball. Over his last 13 games, Sheets is 15-for-39 (.385) with four home runs, 10 walks, and nine strikeouts. This level of productivity has turned him into a priority waiver wire addition, especially for fantasy managers in search of someone to occupy a first base or outfield spot. In total this year, Sheets is slashing .255/.335/.503 with a career-high 139 wRC+. He also has nine home runs, putting him on pace to slug 20+ homers for the first time in his career. Despite being a key bright spot for a 31-win Padres team, Sheets is rostered in just 29% of fantasy baseball leagues. That means he's available in 71% of leagues, making him a priority target for plenty of fantasy managers.

Gavin Sheets on Fire at the Plate, Hits Two More Homers in Seattle

San Diego Padres outfielder/first baseman Gavin Sheets is one of the hottest hitters in baseball right now. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger carried the Friars' offense on Sunday as they finished off another three-game sweep of the hosting Seattle Mariners in an 8-3 win, going 3-for-3 at the plate with two home runs, four RBI, and two walks to raise his season average to .262 and his OPS to .896. Both of Sheets' long balls at T-Mobile Park came off right-handed starter George Kirby. It was the second straight day that Sheets cleared the fences in Seattle, and he extended his current hitting streak to six games after starting May pretty cold offensively. During his six-game hitting streak, Sheets has gone 10-for-16 (.625) with four homers, a double, eight RBI, six runs scored, and a stolen base. He continues to produce for fantasy managers with outfield and first base eligibility, and he's now slashing .262/.340/.556 with nine total home runs, 10 doubles, 21 RBI, 19 runs scored, and three stolen bases in his 141 plate appearances in 2026.

Gavin Sheets Goes Yard Twice, Including Walk-Off Round-Tripper

San Diego Padres outfielder/first baseman Gavin Sheets sent the Friar faithful home happy on Friday night in a 5-2 win over the visiting Colorado Rockies at Petco Park for the team's second straight walk-off win. On a night where the Padres unveiled their new CityConnect jerseys, Sheets went 2-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI, and two strikeouts. His three-run shot in the bottom of the ninth inning walked the Rockies off again and earned him an ice shower from his teammates. Sheets' first long ball came off starter Tomoyuki Sugano to get the Friars on the board, and his second blast won the game off reliever Juan Mejia. The home runs were Sheets' first two of the year after he hit a career-high 19 round-trippers and drove in 71 in a career year in 145 games in his first season in SD. Sheets can be streaky, so fantasy managers will want to ride the wave as the team's four-game series against Colorado continues on Saturday night.

Gavin Sheets the Top Option at First Base

San Diego Padres manager Craig Stammen said that Gavin Sheets is currently the team's No. 1 option at first base, according to Annie Heilbrunn of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Sheets was a big success for the Friars last year in his first season with the team, but he split his time between left field (64 games) and designated hitter (63 games). The 29-year-old left-handed slugger hit .252/.317/.429 with a .746 OPS, career-high 19 home runs, 71 RBI, 57 runs scored, and two steals in 145 regular-season games. Sheets came up as a first baseman in the minors, though, so it's not like he doesn't have some experience at the position. Jake Cronenworth, Will Wagner, and Sung-Mun Song are other options to play first base in SD now that Luis Arraez is in San Francisco. Most of Sheets' damage came against right-handed pitchers, but he'll be a decent option for power as corner-infield depth in fantasy, and gaining first base eligibility will be a bonus.

Gavin Sheets Returns from Paternity List

The San Diego Padres have activated first baseman/outfielder Gavin Sheets from the paternity list, according to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune. He'll take the roster spot of catcher Luis Campusano, whom the Padres optioned to Triple-A El Paso. Sheets ended up missing just one game, a 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The 29-year-old was a surprise success story in the first half of the season for the Padres after settling for a minor-league contract over the winter. While Sheets generally struggled with the White Sox from 2021-24, he has slashed a productive .265/.324/.451 with 14 homers, 50 RBI, and 36 runs scored in 349 plate appearances this year. He's already just one HR and three RBI away from tying his career-high marks in those categories. Furthermore, Sheets ranks in the league's 82nd percentile or better in xwOBA, xBA, xSLG, hard-hit rate, and bat speed, which bodes well heading into the stretch run.

Gavin Sheets Placed on Paternity List

The San Diego Padres have placed first baseman/outfielder Gavin Sheets on the paternity list before their contest on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies. In a corresponding move, the Padres promoted catcher Luis Campusano from Triple-A El Paso to take his spot on the roster. Sheets has enjoyed a productive debut campaign in San Diego and is on pace to enjoy a career season. Through 92 contests, the Wake Foret product has posted a .265/.324/.451 slash line with 14 long balls. Under the hood, Sheets has generated an elite .364 xwOBA, .288 xBA, .501 xSLG, and a 42.1% hard-hit rate, all of which are well above the average marks among qualified hitters. While Sheets is held out of action, fantasy managers should expect Bryce Johnson and Tyler Wade to see time in left field.

Gavin Sheets Tallies Three Extra-Base Hits

San Diego Padres outfielder Gavin Sheets went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in his team's 6-4 victory over the hosting Cincinnati Reds. He added two doubles. Sheets is up to seven two-baggers in the month and has chipped in two dingers and a triple for good measure. Despite racking up the extra-base hits, the Wake Forest product's production has dipped some in June (.258) compared to the month prior (.275). Still, he has significantly improved his quality of contact metrics this season and is right on his .266 xBA (.265). Sheets' move to San Diego has suited him well, as he's set to smash personal bests across the board while batting in the heart of the Friars' order.

Gavin Sheets Drives in Four on Wednesday

San Diego Padres first baseman Gavin Sheets had an excellent game in his team's 6-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. Sheets went 2-for-5 with a triple and four RBI, but it wasn't quite enough to edge the Giants in the contest. The veteran kicked off the scoring in the game with a two-run triple in the first inning and later tacked on a two-run single in the fifth. Sheets is thriving in his first season with the Padres, hitting .263 with 11 homers, 23 runs, 38 RBI, and one steal across 186 at-bats, putting him well on pace to establish new career highs across the board after spending the first five years of his career with the Chicago White Sox.
