Gavin Sheets Fantasy Stats

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

San Diego Padres outfielder Gavin Sheets (head) is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth on Tuesday against the division-rival San Francisco Giants and right-hander Landen Roupp at Oracle Park. Sheets took Monday's series-opener win in San Francisco off after running into the left-field fence full speed in Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Pirates and leaving the game early. The 29-year-old apparently cleared the league's concussion protocol and might only be dealing with a bruised ego after a face-first collision with the wall. While he's surprisingly been one of the Friars' hotter bats so far in 2025, Sheets has two hits in his last 18 at-bats over seven games to drop his season slash line to .266/.321/.492 with an .813 OPS. Sheets has provided plenty of pop with 11 long balls and 34 RBI in 177 at-bats. He's hitless in just one career at-bats versus Roupp.

San Diego Padres outfielder/designated hitter Gavin Sheets (head) is not in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener at Oracle Park against the division-rival San Francisco Giants. Tyler Wade will start in left field and bat seventh against Giants right-hander Logan Webb, with third baseman Manny Machado serving as the DH. Jose Iglesias is at the hot corner and is hitting eighth. Although Wade has four hits and an RBI in 10 career at-bats in his career against Webb, fantasy managers setting DFS lineups should avoid him as a sleeper. Sheets, who has been one of SD's best bats in 2025, suffered multiple injuries in Sunday's series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates when he crashed into the left-field wall face-first. Although Sheets is considered day-to-day for now, it's still possible he requires a stint on the injured list.
