Gavin Sheets sitting for White Sox on Thursday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Gavin Sheets is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against left-hander JP Sears and the Oakland Athletics.
What It Means:
The lefty-hitting Sheets will sit versus the Athletics' southpaw. Andrew Vaughn will move to right field and A.J. Pollock will cover left while Adam Engel starts in the middle. Pollock will bat fifth and Engel will hit ninth.
Engel has a $2,000 salary on Thursday and our models project him for 8.1 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the White Sox’s implied total (4.02) is No. 4 out of the 12 active teams today, but the park factor is the weakest of the day for batters.
