Sheets to Start at 1B as Padres Rework DH Mix

With Luis Arraez departing for the Giants on a one-year deal, Gavin Sheets is positioned to take San Diego’s first-base job in 2026. He hit .252/.317/.429 with 19 homers in 145 games last season, but his outfield defense was poor; a move back to first could boost his value and help enable a more flexible DH mix. The Padres are weighing a platoon partner for Sheets and have added options like Sung-Mun Song and Will Wagner for the DH role, potentially resting regulars such as Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts. Meanwhile, GM AJ Preller’s contract extension remains unsettled amid reported tensions with club leadership, even as he has steered the team through a successful run in recent years.

White Sox power past Guardians with three home runs in 8-3 win.

The Chicago White Sox defeated the Cleveland Guardians 8-3 in a game that saw six runs scored in the fifth inning. The White Sox were sparked by a catcher's interference call against Cleveland's Mike Zunino, which led to six straight hits and six runs. Gavin Sheets hit a home run, while Luis Robert Jr. homered for the fourth straight game. Lance Lynn pitched seven-plus innings, allowing one earned run, and striking out seven. The White Sox have 15 of their next 18 games against AL Central opponents and are hoping to climb out of their current hole.

"White Sox triumph over Giants with RISP advantage"

The Chicago White Sox bounced back from their home opener loss with a 7-3 win over the San Francisco Giants. Despite issuing nine walks, the Sox went 7-for-12 with runners in scoring position, resulting in three crooked numbers. Dylan Cease allowed only one hit over five innings while striking out eight, but issued five of those nine walks. The Sox never trailed and ended up winning by a slam without the benefit of a homer.
